I am 21 years old. My pubic area has lately turned very itchy and dark though I have fair skin otherwise. Could you please recommend a cream to help match the colour of my genital area with my skin colour?

You have probably contracted the ringworm infection. You need to see your doctor but apply the Surfaz SN cream first. Also, the colour of your genital area is naturally darker. A skin specialist can help you with your issue.

I am a 22-year-old married woman. We will complete three months of our marriage soon. I missed my period this time and took the pregnancy test which turned out to be positive. But we don’t want a child so early.

Please do not take abortion lightly. Rethink the issue before you both take a decision. See a gynecologist who will give you details of the medical termination of pregnancy. Earlier you could have taken an emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours of the event. In the future, use a condom.

I am a 32-year-old man. My partner likes oral sex but only after we indulge in a lot of foreplay. But if I ejaculate, she refuses to continue. Is oral sex safe with a trustful partner? Could I wash my penis and give it another try? Please advise.

There is a special gland in the body called the cowpers’ gland which extract a natural lubricating fluid when a man is excited. Oral sex is safe with a single partner but she must give her consent. Keep a soft cloth ready.

I’m an 18-year-old boy. I tried to have sex with sex workers thrice but was unsuccessful. I couldn’t even penetrate. I'm very depressed because they made fun of me. The size of my penis is five inches when erect. I masturbate a lot to satisfy myself. What’s the problem in me? I’m worried if I’ll be able to satisfy my wife in the future. Please help.

Think of the sex worker’s behaviour as a favour to you so you will avoid them in the future, consequently averting a possible STD. Your size is perfect. When the time comes to get married, attend sexual counseling and you will be a great husband. At present, focus on becoming somebody in life.
