Question. I am a 30-year-old married man. I’ve seen sticky things coming out of my penis after urination. After sex I experience inflammation around my penis. Sometimes my semen is yellow. Also, I have no real desire to have sex and I feel week all the time. Please help.

Question. I am a 26-year-old woman. My partner and I try having sex, but during the act, my vagina doesn’t expand. He tries to arouse me in all possible ways, but we always end up indulging only in foreplay. We do not enjoy the intercourse part. How do we deal with this problem? Please reply.

Question. During masturbation, I have a habit of roughly rubbing my vagina and pressing my clitoris. Will my hymen rupture due to this habit? Will I face sex problems later? Please reply.

Answer. Your habit won’t impact your hymen as it’s known to rupture via cycling, swimming etc. There’s no problem unless your husband gets suspicious (in case a slight bleeding does not take place). The only other problem is that in the future, you may enjoy this habit over intercourse.

Question. My partner was diagnosed for Herpes. It’s a type-2 virus. The infection is in her lower back region. Few days ago, we kissed and had oral sex. We took enough precaution to cover the infection with cotton and bandages. She has been regular with her medication. She didn’t remove her clothes during the act. Can the virus be transferred via the saliva? We chose not to have sex despite having condoms. Will it affect our child when my partner conceives? She does not have genital herpes. Please reply.

Answer. You have taken adequate precautions. I suggest you wait till the herpes subsides. There is no reason for genital herpes to occur.

Question. Can excessive masturbation cause prostrate cancer later? Can masturbation cause pimples? Please reply.

Questions.

1) I saw a TV commercial of a contraceptive injection that helps avoid pregnancy for almost a month. Is it safe?

2) My partner experiences pain when I use a condom. Please suggest an alternate safety method. Please reply.

Answers.

1) The long-acting hormone injections have been in use in many countries. Recent studies by the Council of Medical Research, India have declared it as a useful addition to the other contraceptive options for women. It can be prescribed after a thorough examination. Adequate information is provided to women.

2) With proper lubrication, there’s no reason why the condom should cause pain. Have better foreplay so that she’s adequately lubricated. If needed, use a lubricant like KY jelly. There are many types of condoms available. Choose the most suitable one.

Question. I would like to know the food items that I should eat before having sex so that I will be able to satisfy my lady. Please reply.

Answer. Eat any vegetable you like best and with every bite think a sexual thought – maybe this will help you get all charged up before you have sex.

Question. I am a well-educated man with an MBA degree. I am married and have a seven-year-old kid. My wife doesn’t agree on having intercourse without a condom. I prefer it without protection. However, we don’t want another children at this point of time. What do we do? Also, my wife’s breasts are small. When I see other well-endowed women, my mind involuntarily gets distracted and I start fantasising about them. Why is it so? I am unhappy with my wife’s breasts. Please help.

Answer. An educated MBA not liking his life partner because of her (small) size of breasts is bewildering to me. Nobody stops you from fantasising. However, continue having good sexual relations with your wife. Talk to her about alternate contraceptive methods. You both should visit a gynaecologist. For the sake of your family’s happiness, please reconsider your stand regarding your wife’s breasts.
