My girlfriend and I are 23. We have kissed often and I have also touched my penis to her vagina but with clothes on. We have been doing this for a month now. This month, her periods were delayed by a few days. Could our activities be the reason of this delay? Are there any chances of her getting pregnant?

Quite safe! A slight delay in the period is immaterial. Will both of you control your excitement and someday go much further?

I am a 27-year-old married man. My wife and I are planning a kid. I will soon have my sperm count checked. If the count is below average, then what all should be done to get it back to normal? I don’t drink nor do I have any medical
problem. Please help.

It is wise to postpone worry till the situation arises. If you have a problem, it can be attended to.

I am a 25-year-old married woman. I think my husband is unhappy with our sex life as I have heard him complaining of my vagina turning flaccid. He has never complained to me about our sex life, but I want to keep him happy. Is there
anything I can do to tighten my vagina? Two years ago, I underwent an abortion. Is that why my vagina has lost its elasticity? If my vagina is tightened, will it hamper a normal delivery?

Learn about Kegel exercises. Daily practice will tighten muscles around the vagina. This will not interfere with your delivery. Are you sure his penis is not as rigid as before?

I am a 22-year-old man. Recently, while masturbating, I pressed my penis hard so as to stop the semen from flowing out. After that, I noticed red patches around the tip of my penis. It doesn’t hurt, but it is scary to look at. I am worried. Please help.

Why do you indulge in such antics? You will damage your valves if you continue doing this. No wonder your penis is objecting. Stop doing it and all will be well.
