Tampon

Tampons come in different sizes. If you are a virgin, are very small-boned, or just new at using tampons buy a slender, mini, or teen sized tampon. If you put a little bit of baby oil on the end of the tampon it will go in much easier. If you are a virgin and use a tampon - you will still be a virgin.

Tantra - Tantric Sex Practices

Tantra is an ancient spirituality from the East. Most research says it is more than 7000 years old. It defines what is sacred differently because it is such an old belief system. One thing the modern world doesn't think of as spirititual, but Tantra does, is sex. Tantra is energy and this energy changes the way you think about how you live in the world. One of the important things it makes you think different about is sex. There are lots of different ways of thinking about Tantra - one ancient guidebook to Tantric sex practices is the Kama Sutra..

Testicles (gonads): see Male Body Parts

A male is born with two testicles. The testicle are inside a sack called the scotum. Testicles are are glands that might be inside the body when a boy is small, but will drop down before puberty. The testicles are the part of the body that makes sperm. Testicles make sperm all the time unless they get too hot or too cold. The scotum helps keep the testicles the right temperature - they get really tight and close to the body if they get cold - and they get very long and loose if they get hot. That is why they shrink when you go swimming in a cold pool. Testicles are also called in slang: balls. family jewels, nads, goolies, nuts, knackers/knockers, bollocks, and more
