Q. By practicing masturbation can one be affected in any way? |
 |
Ans.
No, masturbation cannot be harmful, as what the penis does in the vagina during intercourse is the same as what the penis experiences in the hand during masturbation.
|
| Q. Is excessive masturbation harmful? |
|
Ans. No, there is no such thing as excessive
masturbation and just as an excess of coitus cannot lead to weakness so also an excess of masturbation cannot do so.
|
|
Q. Are sleep emissions normal? |
|
Ans. Sleep emissions
represent a normal physiological phenomenon. Semen is being secreted continuously by the genital apparatus; it has to be expelled by some means. If one does not have sex or
does not masturbate either, semen gets expelled in the form of sleep emissions.
|
| Q. Is there any treatment for enlarged breasts
in a male?
|
|
Ans.
For treating enlarged breasts plastic surgery may be helpful. Sometimes, enlarged breasts
could be one of the side-effects of drugs. At times, partial or complete regression can occur after suitable substitution or discontinuation of the drugs.
|
| Q. Does disparity
in breast size require treatment? |
|
Ans.
Disparity in the size of the breasts may be due to various reasons-
physiological and pathological. Disparity due to any pathological cause
must be thoroughly investigated and treatment. If the difference in size or contour is gross, then
an
enhancement/ enlargement mammaplasty of the smaller breast or a
reduction mammaplasty of the larger one may be carried out.
|
| Q. What are the
reasons for pain in the vagina at the time of intercourse? |
|
Ans. Most
often, when the woman is not properly lubricated or aroused, and the man
makes an attempt to enter, it leads to irritation and pain at the time
of intercourse. If the pain is always present at the time of
intercourse, then it could be because of hymeneal obstruction, urethral
disorders or congenital malformations of the vuva or vagina. It could
also occur following post-operative scars and atrophic vulvo-vaginitis
(common in menopausal years). If the pain is present occasionally, then
it may be due to some local infection and/or allergy.
|
| Q. Can one indulge
in intercourse during menses? |
|
Ans. Sex
during menstruation is absolutely safe. Many couples find coitus more
enjoyable at this time mainly because there is freedom from possible
pregnancy and also because of the enhanced pleasure due to a moist
vagina.
|
| Q. What is safe
sex? |
|
Ans.
Techniques that minimize the risk of contracting sexually transmitted
diseases, including HIV infection, are termed safe practices. All sexual
activity between two individuals which does not involve an exchange of
semen, vaginal fluids or any other contaminated body fluids is safe;
e.g. use of condoms is considered a form of safe sex.
|
| Q. Will a person
die if he is HIV positive? |
Ans. Most
certainly sooner or later but within 7-8 years maximum if untreated.
Almost all known cases that are diagnosed as HIV-positive eventually
develop AIDS at some point. The time between HIV infection and AIDS can
take 2-10 years or even longer.
|
Q. What is the cause for premature ejaculation?
|
|
Ans.
Climaxing before one wants to, is considered as "premature ejaculation". This term confuses orgasm with ejaculation. The causes are
usually due to anxiety, sexual inexperience, deterioration of relationship, prolonged abstinence, victimization by partner, unrealistic expectations,
diabetes mellitus, neurological disorders, etc.
