I Pill Efficacy: Pre-Sex Timing Impact
Is i pill effective if taken one hour before unprotected sex?
Sexologist
Answered on 16th Oct '24
Although taking the i-pill one hour before unprotected sex seems helpful, it may not fully protect against pregnancy. The most effective approach is taking it immediately after unprotected intercourse occurred. Its mechanism delays or prevents ovulation, reducing pregnancy risk. However, it's not 100% reliable, so using additional contraceptive methods later is wise. Should any concerning symptoms arise, consulting a sexologist promptly is crucial.

Sexual issue of anal sex
Male | 34
Anal sex can lead to problems. Pain, bleeding, and discomfort may happen during or after. Not enough lube, tissue tearing, and infections cause this. Use lots of lube. Go slow. Talk openly with your partner.

Male | 26
Frequent masturbation is a normal and healthy sexual behavior for many. It doesn't cause any significant harm or affect your future sex life. However excessive masturbation can lead to physical and emotional health problems, such as fatigue, anxiety, depression, and loss of interest in sexual activity. You can try to redirect your sexual energy into exercising or hobbies, and establish healthy routines and sleep patterns.

Premature ejaculation Erectile disfunction Give some suggestions
Male | 20
Premature ejaculation happens when a man finishes too quickly, while erectile dysfunction is the inability to maintain an erection firm enough for sex. Both issues can stem from stress, relationship problems, or physical conditions. Simple approaches to address these include practicing relaxation techniques, open communication with your partner, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. Be patient and explore different ways of being intimate. If needed, don't hesitate to consult a sexologist, as these problems are often manageable.

Premature ejaculation is treatable. Relaxation techniques help. Improve by practicing the "squeeze technique." It is also possible to try topical anesthetics. Consult a doctor for further advice.

I am 21 years old. I have been having painful erections to a point where masturbation is required. I have some other related problems as well. Please help me. I'm too embarrassed to ask anyone else.
Male | 21
You may have a condition called priapism where your erection is painful and lasts a long time without sexual arousa. Priapism can result from some drugs, drug abuse, or disease conditions like sickle cell disease. It is necessary to see a doctor immediately to avoid complications. A urologist can provide the treatment to ease your symptoms and solve any underlying problems.

Unprotected sex occurred, what need to do to birth control immediately, the ejaculation occured but it was inside vagina or outside that can't be remembered
Female | 18
If unprotected sex occurred and you're unsure about ejaculation, it's best to take emergency contraception (morning-after pill) as soon as possible to prevent pregnancy. It's also important to visit a gynecologist for further advice and to discuss long-term birth control options.

I am 22 years old....I started musterbatation from 14 years old...I used to de prone musterbation.....My body has become very weak
Male | 22
You seem concerned about weakness, mentioning masturbation since age fourteen. Weakness stems from various factors like poor nutrition or insufficient physical activity. Masturbating seldom leads to weakness. To gain strength, follow a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and ensure adequate rest. However, if worries persist, consulting a sexologist remains advisable for personalized guidance. Remember, self-care is crucial.

I have suffered from some types of erectyl dysfunction because I have done much masturbation
Male | 19
If you experience difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, it's known as erectile dysfunction. Symptoms encompass the inability to get or keep an erection firm. Excessive self-stimulation may contribute to this issue. Reducing solo activities and engaging in alternative pursuits could alleviate the problem. Ease up on manual stimulation, and you should notice improvements. The situation should rectify itself with time and patience.

Suffering from low libido
Male | 24
Having a low sex drive is common, meaning you don’t feel like having sex often. Signs include not feeling excited about intimacy and rarely thinking about it. Stress, being tired, and hormone changes can cause this. To help, try to relax, get enough rest, talk with your partner, and seek counseling if needed.

im 14 years old, and after i masturbated i noticed a mole on my face getting bigger, my vision's getting worse, im getting way tired than usual, everything's being bad for me and i'm trying to stop this addiction. we all know that masturbation can affect hormonal changes, so how can reverse the side effects of masturbation and shrink the mole due to masturbation? please be detailed, thank you for your valuable time reading this.
Male | 40
Masturbating itself won't make moles bigger. Moles change naturally over time, apart from habits. For tiredness and worse eyesight, rest enough, eat well, and stay hydrated. If overwhelmed, talk to an adult or counselor.

Dear Doctor, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to discuss some concerns that have been affecting my mental and sexual health, specifically related to my use of pornography and its broader impact on my life. I am a male, 26/27 years old. No health issues. I've noticed that my consumption of pornography and engagement in cybersex have escalated to a point where they negatively affect my life and relationships. My need for increasingly explicit material to achieve sexual arousal has grown over the years (a phenomenon called "Desensitization" i believe), and it's become apparent that this pattern is not sustainable. I've observed that this habit has not only affected my ability to enjoy real-life sexual encounters but has also contributed to the deterioration of my previous relationship. At times, I had found myself needing to think of pornography to maintain an erection during sexual intercourse. In an attempt to address this, I've tried to quit watching porn, only to experience a significant drop in my libido and desire for sexual activity. This "flat line" phase, as it's often referred to in various forums, has left me feeling worried and uncertain about the path forward. Of course, i started watching again, just to make sure that everything is normal. The first couple of times, the erections were weaker than usual. I understand that the body of scientific research in this area is still evolving, and there seems to be a lack of definitive guidance on dealing with these challenges. Given these complexities, I'm seeking your professional advice on several fronts: 1- Is the "flat line" phase a recognized scientific phenomenon, and what does current research say about it? 2- Considering my concerns about the long-term effects of abstaining from pornography and reduced masturbation, what guidance can you provide? I'm particularly worried about maintaining sexual function, including erectile strength and ejaculation control. 3-Could you suggest any scientific, medical research articles or resources that could offer more insight into these issues? Your expertise and any evidence-based recommendations would be immensely valuable to me as I consider my next steps. Many thanks for your time and consideration. Kind regards,
Male | 26
It is crucial to realize that gaining an excessive amount of pornography and cyberspace ultimately results in being desensitized, and it has a negative impact on sexual encounters with real living partners and relationships.
The "flat line" effect, that you brought up, is also a commonly displayed problem where former porn addicts may experience a drop in their sex drive and arousal. But for now, the findings are not substantial, more studies are required to distinguish porn effect on sexual function from its own.
With regard to facilitation, many people have found it immensely helpful to consult a professional mental health care provider, such as a therapist or a counselor, and avail their expert help in dealing with this problem and addressing any underlying psychological factors. A sex therapist may possess skills in counseling individuals with sexual dysfunction or enhancing sexual functions.
Your well-being is of top concern and seeking the help of a mental and sexual health specialist can provide you with the needed information when making a decision about your next step. In this connection, I suggest you talk to a psychologist or sex therapist, whose main professional concern is the issues you are experiencing, for more help and support.
Best regards,

What are the chances that I could have HIV here. I am male and had sex with a woman around a month ago. Halfway through the condom slipped off and I only noticed two minutes after. She assured me she has only slept with one other person but I am not sure if she knows the other person’s health status. I also had some of her vaginal secretions on my finger and forgot that I had yet to wash my hands after and picked my nose, which was a little crusted over because I had a bit of a bloody nose from earlier in the day. The next day she told me that she felt like she had the flu but I felt fine, but the day after that I felt a bit fatigued. The fatigue got better but did not completely wear off after three days, but by then I was on vacation so I drank alcohol for 4 days straight. After those 4 days, I fully felt like I had the flu. I did not feel like I had a fever but I was coughing heavily, my body was really achey, and l had a sore throat. This got better after 4 days, and I suspect I passed this flu onto two of my friends. I say suspect because I am not sure if these are acute symptoms vs the actual flu. The following two weeks after most of my symptoms were gone I felt better but would get random pangs of fatigue occasionally that would be gone after a couple of hours. Additionally, I may have never noticed this before but I could palpate my submandibular glands (which I am not sure if this has always been the case and I just have not noticed), but they don’t feel swollen and feel very normal. I have no swollen lymph nodes I think, but my tongue has become slightly more white than usual, and I had a tiny ulcer on it. This occurred around 2 weeks after recovering from the flu. I don’t think it’s oral thrush because I can’t wipe it off and it doesn’t hurt at all, and it sort of just looks like all my other friends’ tongues, but nonetheless I think it is a bit whiter than usual. I started scraping at my tongue with my nails here and there and could see some white residue occasionally, and I think I have some lie bumps on the tip of my tongue that developed 3 weeks after I recovered from the flu. Last thing is, I have been drinking pretty heavily during the weekends for a while. The only three symptoms I still see now is a slightly whiter than usual tongue that gets a bit better when I exercise or brush my tongue, the new lie bumps, and palpable yet not swollen submandibular glands. What are the chances these are actual acute symptoms vs me just being paranoid (I will be testing myself in the following week - have been waiting so that the test results will be accurate)
Male | 23
Considering the chance of getting HIV from having unprotected sex is important. For instance, the symptoms such as tiredness, flulike symptoms, white coated tongue as well as lie bumps which you explained could mean several things and not necessarily that someone has been infected with this virus. It’s good that you intend to go for testing; that way one can never be too sure unless they get checked for it.

I have a question about herpes, I’ve met someone who I would like to have sex with, he has herpes but I need more information about how to go about sex / oral sex , as I don’t know much
Female | 31
Herpes is a common virus that can be passed on through skin-to-skin contact such as sex. Symptoms may include sores, itching, and pain. Condoms and dental dams should still be used during sexual intercourse or oral sex even if your partner does not show any signs of the illness. Communication with your partner is crucial so don’t hesitate to discuss any worries or questions openly with them.

Good morning Dr, I have a question that I slept with my girlfriend who got yeast infection, will she infect me?
Male | 26
If your partner has a yeast infection, you can catch it too, although it's not contagious like the flu. Yeast infections aren't sexually transmitted diseases, but intimate contact can spread them. Common signs are itching burning sensations, and strange discharge. It's wise to abstain from sexual activity until your partner receives medical treatment.

I'm 17 year boy I'm masturbating from many days now i stoped it so I'm not getting to do masturbation I'm not getting the mood of sex so i have a fear and stress that if I'll go to do sex with a girl can my Mood of sex can develop or i get erection or not please tell me some solution
Male | 17
It is not a surprise if the sex drive is going to change after a certain period of time due to the fact that people stop for masturbation. Stress and fear can also be an inhibitor for sexual desire. Anxiety can be one of the factors for the problems of getting an erection. You may use relaxation methods like deep breathing and try to spend more time on foreplay during the moment with a partner. It is good to give yourself time and do not push yourself. You should be first focusing on creating a safe and trusting environment before you can try sex.
