Frequently Asked Questions on Sex and Male Enhancement
ByFrequently Asked Questions
(1).
Q) What are STD’s, how are they spread, and how can I protect myself (and my partner) from them?
A) STD’s are sexually transmitted diseases. They can range from being uncomfortable (such as pubic lice, herpes, and genital warts) to being a serious health risk (such as syphilis and gonorrhea) to being life-threatening (HIV and AIDS). They are spread through the exchange of body fluids (such as semen, blood, saliva, etc.). They can be spread by entering the mouth, vagina, penis, anus, or, in some cases, an open cut. The best protection against STD’s is sexual abstinence, or having sex only with a trusted partner. Beyond that, one should use a condom and avoid certain risky behaviours. For example, using drugs or alcohol to prepare for sex is discouraged because such substances may cause people to be less cautious than usual.

Q) How can I enhance my sexual pleasure?
A) The best way to do this is to learn the techniques for delaying orgasm (such as learning to “squeeze” the pelvic muscles or using the “stop-start” technique during sexual intercourse.
(3).
Q) How can I learn to prevent premature ejaculation?
A) The techniques for preventing premature ejaculation are basically the same as those for prolonging sex and thus enhancing pleasure (see Question 2, above).
(4).
Q) Does circumcision decrease sexual pleasure?
A) Circumcision (the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis) is commonly practiced throughout the Western World. Some cultures do it for religious reasons, and others do it for the sake of increased cleanliness. Some experts argue that circumcision is not necessary and that it has negative impacts in terms of reducing penile sensitivity and increasing friction during sex (Purvis 31-32). However, there have also been studies that have shown no ill effects or even an increase in sexual benefits. For most men, circumcision does not appear to interfere with their ability to derive pleasure from sexual activity.
(5).
Q) Are there any dangers or health risks to building up sexual tension and then not releasing it through ejaculation?
A) Some men worry about a condition known as “blue balls.” This is an ache in the testicles that occurs when blood flows to the genital area and is not dissipated by orgasm. However, this condition does not result in any long-term negative impact. It may cause “temporary minor pain,” but the main problems are due to frustration and disappointment from not experiencing an expected ejaculation. It is widely acknowledged that sex can be satisfying for a man even if it does not include ejaculation.
(6).
Q) How does a man’s sexuality change in old age?
A) A older man can expect a decrease in sexual desire and ability because of medical conditions and/or psychosocial expectations. However, there is also evidence that most men continue to be interested in sexual activities during their elder years. It is important for a man to be able to adapt his attitudes and self-perception as he grows older.

Q) What is the key to creating a strong, meaningful love-sex relationship?
A) Good sex (especially when combined with love) will contribute to creating a healthy long-term relationship. Even more importantly, both partners need to feel trust and respect, and they need to care for one another and have the ability to openly communicate their feelings to one another. A good relationship depends more on intelligence than on power.
