My friends and classmates sometimes ask me in private about things related to sex because I have somewhat of a reputation of being experienced. However Im not a certified anything and Im afraid I could be giving bad advice because Im working off personal experience but I feel pressured to reply anyway. How did you get so knowledgeable about these sorts of things?

I listen. I read. I draw from experience. I’m not a certified anything either.

You can give advice, but always stress that it’s an opinion – nothing more. People can choose whether or not to take your advice – that’s their decision. You take the risk of being wrong or having it not work out for them and they might blame you. It’s the risk of giving advice. So be careful.

And if you don’t know the answer, don’t ever pretend to know it. Be honest above all. 🙂
