359 Q: I'm almost 18, will my penis still
grow? Also is it a bad thing to have acne in your pubic region? A: It might still grow. Hopefully the acne on your pubic region will
clear up. It's not really bad, but I can see why it may bother you. Be sure
to keep the area clean, but do not wash it obsessively because that can cause
blemishes also. If you are using lubrication, be sure to wash it all off
after you are done. Greasy build-up can also lead to blemishes sometimes.
360 Q: How do you stop premature ejaculation?
Is it even possible. I didn't have it till this year. A: Yes, it is possible. There are several methods. First, you may
want to take a while to train your body with the
stop-and-go masturbation
technique. You can also try some mental techniques to prolong the period
before ejaculation such as having an agenda for thoughts that will delay
ejaculation (e.g., thinking of non-sexual ideas periodically during sexual
stimulation). Premature ejaculation is recognized as a medical issue. If
the techniques you try do not work within a couple of months, you may want
to ask a doctor about medications (e.g., the SSRI prescription medications).
Beware of Internet and magazine ads that promise to cure premature ejaculation
with quick-fix gimmicks. They are usually only money-making scams. 361 Q: Is it normal to have hair on your
balls? A: Definitely. However, some guys don't and there is nothing
wrong either way. 362 Q: I've been masterbating for 5 years
my penis is shaped like the palm of my hand at the top. Why is this? It's
sort of curved. A: It is hard for me to picture a penis that is shaped like the palm
of a hand. However, I can guarantee it is not from your five years of
masturbation activities. Over 30% of men have curved penises and there is
absolutely nothing wrong with this. They grow curved from genetic variations
not sexual/masturbation behaviors. 363 Q: I have my penis thick in the top
of shaft and thin at the base. Is it normal? A: Penises are all different shapes and masturbation cannot affect
the shape. 364 Q: I am lactose-intolerant, so I
have been drinking soy milk. Then I recently learned that soy milk has small
levels of estrogen in it. Is this true? Could this negatively affect men,
and if so, why don't they have a warning on the label? I don't want estrogen
to make me less manly or to decrease my sex drive. A: Men naturally produce some estrogen and women produce some
testosterone, so it is not specifically dangerous to ingest some estrogen.
Soy milk has not been shown to feminize men (that we know of) so that is
why you probably do not see a warning label. However, a concern that seems
to be surfacing recently is the amount of estrogen in red meat and/or regular
milk. Cattle ranchers often inject estrogen into cows to keep them on a
milk-producing cycle without pregnancies. Apparently, some studies show it
can cause girls to go through puberty too early and boys to be late developers.
Nothing is conclusive yet. I haven't seen any evidence that soy milk, red
meat, or regular milk has affected male adults. However, this is definitely
an emerging issue that is watching. 365 Q: When you masturbate, how can you
tell if the actual sperm comes out or just the stuff that protects the sperm?
I am afraid that not enough of the actual sperm (the one that gets a women
pregnant) comes out of my penis. I am 16 years old and if this is true is
there anything I can do to make more sperm come out. A: Sperm is microscopic, so there is no way to tell by looking at
it with the naked eye. You would have to use a microscope, some dye, and
some lab equipment to count sperm. 16 year old males usually have a pretty
high sperm count. I wouldn't worry about it. 366 Q: How long do I have to stop
masturbating for before I will start to have wet dreams? A: It may be anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. However, it
is important to remember that a nocturnal emission (wet dream) may go unnoticed
if you do not wake up from the dream and the semen dries before you wake
up. Some men think they have never have had a nocturnal emission when they
actually have. In reality, they just missed the evidence of it. Also, the
semen from a nocturnal emission is sometimes not thick enough to leave a
stain or sticky/dry residue.
367 Q: If my penis curves to the left,
does this limit the sexual activities I can be involved in? A: No. 30% (or more) of men have a curvature to the left or to the
right and they aren't usually limited in any way. 368 Q: I have noticed two wart type of
things towards the base of my penis, I'm pretty sure it is not genital warts
though. I've noticed them after sex with my girlfriend, I was wondering if
maybe the latex condom could have caused this, and if not what could
have? A: Latex condoms can cause allergic reactions in some people. It is
impossible to say what you have without a doctor's examination. It could
be something as simple as the development of skin tags or skin moles. On
the other hand, you may have contracted something. I can't see it, so I can't
really know for sure.
