hi, um i know i&#8217;m young and all but with the world today you&#8217;ll see anything, and the thing is is that i&#8217;m OBSESSED with penises (and really want to suck one, but wont and cant since i&#8217;m so young) and um i don&#8217;t know if its my teenage hormones or not, could u suggest what is wrong with me? thank you very much, bye.</p></blockquote>
<p>Fourteen year old female OBSESSED with penises?  I think not.  You too must think I was born yesterday.</p>
<p>Ya know, folks, if you’re gonna make up shit, the least you can do is be creative.  Plausibility is also a requirement.  NEXT!</p>

All ya have to do is think things through, right?</p>
<p>Perhaps, someone who’s unable to logically put 2 and 2 together is not yet mature enough for partnered sex.  Perhaps, that person should stick to pullin’ his pud.</p>

Hi Dr. I am a 22 years old male and I have two questions. 1- me and my boyfriend are having anal sex without using condoms, does that affect any of us in any way? 2- my penis is straight which is good, but is there any way that I could make it curve upwards?</p></blockquote>
<p>WTF?  Is this an epidemic of idiocy, or what?</p>
<p>(1)  You’re 22 and you still haven’t got the message about the risks of barebacking?  If you boys aren’t HIV- and in an exclusive relationship and you’re lovin’ without a glove; then you’re courting disaster.  I guess this is one way to cull the herd.</p>
<p>(2)  if your unit is straight, that’s the way it’s gonna stay.  You won’t be able to train it to curve upward or any other direction.</p>

Can a person catch h.i.v by swallowing the cum of a h.i.v. positive lover?</p></blockquote>
<p>D’oh!  You’re 45 and still don’t know the score about HIV transmission?  Have you been living under a rock all these years?</p>
<p>Swapping bodily fluids is a sure-fire way of spreading the disease.</p>

hey, i&#8217;ve been finding that while having sex with my g/f that my foreskin is being pulled back upon entry, i&#8217;m pretty sure it&#8217;s meant to do this anyway when it&#8217;s erect but it never really has and frankly i find it a little bit painful. when masturbating i don&#8217;t pull it back and it doesn&#8217;t decrease pleasure, what do you think i should do?</p></blockquote>
<p>Sounds like you need to stretch your foreskin so that it will easily retract over your dickhead whenever you want it to.</p>
<p>I’ve written and spoken about this extensively in the past.  See the <strong>CATEGORY</strong> section to the left — in the sidebar?  Look of the category <a title="foreskin" href="http://www.drdicksexadvice.com/category/body-issues/foreskin/" target="_blank"><strong>Foreskin</strong></a>.    Click on that and it will take you to all my podcasts and postings on the topic.</p>
<blockquote><p>Name: <strong>s</strong><br />
Gender: Male<br />
Age: 14<br />

i am uncircumcised and my foreskin and frenulum are perfectly intact. i recently read a blog that said that the first time you have sex your foreskin will &#8220;snap&#8221; back. if this is true,<a title="uncut72.jpg" href="http://www.drdicksexadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/uncut72.jpg"><img title="uncut72.jpg" src="http://www.drdicksexadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/uncut72.jpg" border="10" alt="uncut72.jpg" hspace="10" vspace="10" align="right" /></a> does it hurt? if not, will how will my foreskin bend back?</p></blockquote>
<p>Nope, that’s untrue…all of it!  But you have come to the right place for information about all things that relate to your natural (uncut) cock.</p>
<p>Did you notice the advice I gave to the fella (John) above you?  Good!  Because that information applies to you too.</p>
<p>It’s too bad that your dad (or parents) didn’t taken the time to clue you into what you can expect from, or how to properly care for your foreskin.  It’s his (their) responsibility, ya know.   Alas, many parents shirk their duty in this regard.</p>
<p>Listen up parents!  Do the right thing.  Sit the youngens down for the body/sex talk, why don’t cha already?  If ya don’t, your kids will be saddled with all sorts of myths and misconceptions, like the one presented by this young pup.  Passing on clear, unambiguous information about their body (including their genitals) and sex is as much your responsibility as putting food on the table.</p>
<p>And finally, mom and dad, if you are unclear about the nuts and bolts of how our bodies work and/or the ins and outs of sex; educate yourself before you lay the info on the kiddies.  Remember, it&#8217;s your job to educate and enlighten, not add to their misinformation.</p>

Would you cover the topic of sex after prostate surgery? It&#8217;s been 16 months since my surgery and i notice a decrease in my penis size. Why did that happen and will it return to normal?</p></blockquote>
<p>Not only will I, but I already have!</p>
<p>See the <strong>CATEGORY</strong> section to the left — in the sidebar?  Look of the category <a title="Prostatectomh" href="http://www.drdicksexadvice.com/category/diseasedisability/prostatectomy/" target="_blank"><strong>Prostatectomy</strong></a><br />
Click on that and it will take you to two podcasts I’ve done on the topic.</p>
<p>As to the decrease in the size of your unit; I&#8217;d guess that it has something to do with the trauma your genital area received during surgery.  I&#8217;d be willing to bet that a whole lotta slow and pleasurable massage/masturbation will increase the oxygen-rich blood flow to the area and this will, in time, restore your willie to its former stature.</p>

hi there. i have a webbed penis is it necessary 2 correct this and does it hinder foreskin restoration stretch exercises which seem 2 be working very slowly<a title="circum_egypt.jpg" href="http://www.drdicksexadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/circum_egypt.jpg"><img title="circum_egypt.jpg" src="http://www.drdicksexadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/circum_egypt.jpg" border="10" alt="circum_egypt.jpg" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="408" height="284" align="right" /></a></p></blockquote>
<p>The term “webbed penis” can refer two different conditions.  The first is where the skin of the scrotal sack extends part way up the shaft of the penis. Boys are born this way.</p>
<p>The second condition is a result of adhesions forming between the scrotal skin and the penile skin due to a botched circumcision.</p>
<p>Since you’re practicing foreskin restoration, I’m gonna guess that your condition is the result of a bungled circumcision.</p>
<p>It’s a bummer when an over-zealous doc (or Mohel) docks too much of a boy’s foreskin.  It can make for painful erections when he get older.  Sadly, this happens way more frequently then most people realize.  There’s no way to correct this.  In fact, if I were you, Steven, I’d keep my precious cock as far away from a scalpel as possible.  I think enough damage has been done already, don&#8217;t you?</p>
<p>The foreskin restoration exercises you’re doing will help stretch the skin of your dick shaft and offer you some relief, especially if your erections cause a painful tightening of your dick skin.  But, as you suggest, this will take a long time to achieve.  I encourage you to keep at it though, because it&#8217;s truly worth the effort.</p>
<blockquote><p>Name: <strong>Mike</strong><br />
Gender: Male<br />
Age: 47<br />
Location: Australia<br />
Last year I contracted genital herpes. It eventually cleared up and fortunately has not re occurred. If I have fellatio performed on me and subsequently ejaculate, will I be placing my partner at risk of catching the herpes? Even though I show no symptoms of the disease? I would appreciate your advice. Regards, Mike.</p></blockquote>
<p>Did you know that there are two herpes viruses?  There’s the HSV-1 type  (cold sores) and HSV-2 type (genital herpes).  Did you know that up to 80 percent of adults have HSV-1 and 25 percent of adults have HSV-2?  Kinda amazing, huh?</p>
<p>Obviously it’s pretty easy to catch one or both strains. A whole lotta infected people don’t even know they’ve been infected.  Because they never have an outbreak, or the outbreak they have is so inconspicuous they don&#8217;t even notice.</p>
<p>Since you know you have herpes, Mike, it’s incumbent upon you to be upfront with your partner(s) about it.  Just because you don’t notice an outbreak, doesn’t mean you can’t pass on the infection.  That being said, since one out of every four adults has already been exposed, the information you will be sharing won’t be all that startling.</p>
<p>Being upfront with your partner(s) gives him/her the opportunity to make an informed decision about going down on your pole without a condom.  And certainly as to weather or not he/she decides to accept the “gift” of your spunk, if ya catch my drift.</p>
<p>Anything less than full disclosure would mark you as a man who has no regard for the wellbeing and best interests of his partner(s).</p>
<p>Good luck ya’ll</p>
