I am a 16-year-old boy and a male friend of mine is 15. We are planning to indulge in mutual masturbation but it’s not like we’re gay partners. We simply want to explore each others’ masturbation techniques. Will it be safe?

It’s up to you if you want to experiment. But if it becomes a permanent habit you may prefer doing it with a woman. I suggest you see what it is like and then fantasise about your female friends and masturbate.

I am a 27-year-old unmarried man. I never had sex but I masturbate. I read your column and find your suggestions  very useful. But I have just one doubt: isn’t there a permanent solution for sex-related problems? I am suffering from erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. Can these problems be cured or not? I am getting married soon and so I’m quite afraid.

A sexpert could help you with more permanent solutions. Ring at 24471848 or 9822894963.

Can hair removing creams be used to remove hair from the genitals?

Yes, unless you get an allergic reaction. Why not use a pair of scissors? I assure you it will only cut your hair.

Is there any medicine to keep the penis in a flaccid state? As soon as I get naked, I get an erection. I like to enjoy nudity in private, but thoughts of sex dominate my mind. Please advise me.

Help yourself by not fantasising and your penis will remain calm.

My friend saw me while bathing. According to him, the size of my penis is not more than that of a cashew nut. What should I do to increase the size?

It’s normal for the penis to appear small at rest. The size matters at erection. Take a foot rule and measure from the pubic bone to the tip of your organ. If it’s longer than two and half inches, it is adequate to satisfy a partner.
