Question. I am 23 years old. I share a sexual relationship with my girlfriend. During the act, I used to slap her butt gently and she enjoyed the same. Of late, she has put on weight around her buttocks. She is scared that the gain is primarily because of thumping. Is it true? Should I stop immediately? Please reply.

Answer. This common act of foreplay will not lead to rise in weight. She should look for other reasons and also exercise regularly.
