HAY GUYS

Not sure where else to post this, but I have a question particularly for girls.

A particular girl[friend] of mine is experiencing very sensitive skin on her inner thighs. It just started to happen recently, and she tells me it's getting worse by the day.

Yes we sleep together and no none of us has STDs.

Is this normal? Has it happened to anyone else out there? I'm a bit concerned.

Right now I'm assuming it's because she was never really sexually active before, and perhaps I'm messing with her hormones by sleeping with her almost daily...?

Any ideas?

It all really depends. Is it a PAINFUL feeling? Or just a more...ticklish feeling?

You don't have to answer this one, but maybe it should be considered: is she overweight?

To the best of my knowledge, this is not a hormonal thing. The area might have been recently getting more contact with other skin or clothing - this can cause irritation.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ok, this is going to sound stupid but could it be because her skin on her thighs is stretching due to the fact she is gaining weight?

Unless she's stuffing herself with 3 meals at McDonalds everyday, no.

BUT! If she's gaining weight and her jeans aren't fitting properly, this could lead to irritation.

I am guessing based on your response that this is less a tickle feeling and more of an irritating, painful feeling?

How ya doing, buddy?

I'd put money on the jeans - especially if she's worried she's gaining weight or nearing her time of the month.

I'd tell her to lay off that pair of jeans for a week or so and see how it goes - for science. Maybe refrain from wearing any other tightly-fitted pants for a short while, so you guys can see if that is in fact the problem.

Are they new jeans, would you know?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, they are new. She bought them this summer but she knew they were tight to begin with.

I guess I will just have to wait this one out -- just worried about her health so I thought I'd get some quick input here.

I'd say wait it out for certain. Stress can cause rashes too. Her health should be perfectly fine.

IF the rash persists for more than 5 days or so, I would start thinking maybe an allergic reaction to something.

In fact, that could be the cause of the rash on her thighs from the jeans. Tell her to lay off the tight booty jeans for a few, and drink plenty of water.

Dryer sheets? You mean like this? (I've never heard them called "dryer sheets".... huh)

That would mean she should be getting irritation wherever the skin hits the fabric - even then if it's an allergy, it would make her breakout all over.

I was speaking idiomatically.

just wanted to make sure it wasn't a hormonal related thing here... or actually i was more afraid i could have gotten her pregnant due to this sudden change in body chemistry (all of her pains happened all together), so i posted here almost so some of the older women here (ie alice) could post their pre-pregnancy experiences to see if any of the symptoms were related, but it seems like it isn't something like that.

cool!

Honey, did you ever take sex ed in high school? ;_;

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
