Question 1

i am a gay teenager. ok i was experimenting with a dildo. rounded not sharp. i feel kind of weird can this puncture my intestine and can i die?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Thank you for reaching out about this. While it is unlikely that a dildo will perforate your intestine, signs of perforation could include abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and a fever. If you experience any of those, go to the emergency room and tell them what's happened. It is important they know what happened. In general, it's wise to use lots of lube and only toys with a flared base.

Question 2

is it normall to have a bowel movment every 2days?
