I am 24 and have had sex with a woman who has a seven-year-old child. I sucked her breasts, fingered her, french kissed her and had protected sex using a condom. Will I get infected? Please help me.

Any habit is bound to lead to side-effects in time. You may lose interest in it or get weaker erections. I suggest you masturbate once only when you are sexually aroused.

I suffered from a groin strain a month ago and recovered from the pain in four days. I then suffered from cough and the pain relapsed. It has stopped for now but my left testes hangs lower than the right. I have been told that I have hurt my nerves. How long will it take to recover? When can I masturbate? Please help me, as I am worried.

Stop worrying. The left testes is usually lower than the right and the movement is immaterial.

I am a 22-year-old married woman. On July 15, I had unprotected sex with my husband. Later, on July 17, my periods were on time. Are there any chances of me being pregnant? At present, we are not planning for kids.

No pregnancy is possible as the periods came after. You must ask your husband to wear a condom or speak to the doctor for a contraceptive.

For the past few months, my friend has been suffering from white spots on the loose skin of his penis. A dermatologist suggested a skin biopsy test. They concluded that it is lichen sclerosis atrophicous. What are the possible causes behind this disease? What is its treatment? Is it curable? Is there any possibility of transmitting this disease to his partner after sex? Is circumcision the permanent solution for it?

What are specialists for? They have prescribed and he should improve. Do you want to become a skin specialist? If he is curious to know, let him ask his doctor.

I am 23 years old. I had sex in a spa, which lasted for eight minutes. I used a latex condom that she gave me. I did not kiss her. All we did was have protected sex. I also touched her breasts and hips during the intercourse. Is there any chance of contracting AIDS or STDs? I am scared.

Since you used a condom and found it intact after sex, you need not worry on this occasion. However, plan your actions well should you visit such places again.
