Well, I was wondering what sites are good for looking up questions about hormones, sexual health (other than STD's) and weird disorders for it. I don't even know where to start looking and I have quesitons I'd prefer not to talk to a doctor if I can help it (embarassing and all you know)

You unfortunately will need to be more specific if you want a topic-specific website. Otherwise WebMD is my reference of choice. You could try Wikipedia, but I wouldn't trust everything that's on there. While it's embarrassing to go to a doctor about sexual-related things, they're pretty much used to seeing everything and will treat you very professionally (hell, it's their job if they don't).

There's really nothing terrible that could result from just speaking with a doctor.

Doctors are required to keep your confidence. Just like therapists.

If its serious enough, I think you ought to see a doctor.

You should speak to a doctor. You don't have to go to your family doctor. Remember what you say is confidential. Many people wait to late to let medical personnel know what issues they have. Issues that could lead to more serious complication or the end of their lives. Talk to a doctor.

There is also a Gaian Sex Ed guild that might help

You could go find a doctor. No need to fear, remember there's something called patient-doctor confidenciality. wink
