My fren and I share the same problem. Hope members here can help to solve.

How's your relationship with your siblings??? Will you have body contact with them (opposite sex with you). I'm so scared and actually does not want to talk about this openly. Today my fren sms me and told me her issue and I just notice not only mine who face situation like that. So I decided to speak it out as the first victim here and let other members who faced such issues can share their experience here.



For guys (it seems like here is the only site for me to post this question): I know it's common for guy teenagers to watch pornography as last time my another fren also said her bro serf net with that...But will you imagine or take action too even to your sisters? If not then please suggest some tips for girls here to protect themselves from these dangers ....~bow on behalf of all female who really need that ~

I don't have a sister by blood, so I don't know whether I'll have a sister complex or not if I do.

Regardless, there are things that I'm guilty of. ._.
