You can certainly do your best to help keep your immune system doing it’s job to fight off anything you may have been exposed to, just by taking sound care of yourself: eating right, getting enough activity and rest, limiting or avoiding substances that can tax the immune system like caffeine…

You know, KY is really one of the lower quality lubricants out there. If you’re using the jelly, it really isn’t going to help much, but even their liquid lubes aren’t as good as a lot of others in my opinion. An excellent lubricant is not only as good as “natural” lubricant, sometimes it’s even…

It’s very typical for condom use to contribute to longer lasting erections. Because they do reduce sensation somewhat – especially if you’re not putting a little lube inside, or using the thinnest condoms – and because the ring at the bottom of a condom also constricts the base of the penis, that…

There is a risk of sexually transmitted infection simply because he’s ejaculating inside you. You can’t reduce that risk once it has occurred. And trying to douche or wash out the inside of the vagina only inclines you to things like yeast infections and vaginal imbalances more: that’s a harm, not a…

I can tell you with no reservations that masturbation did not and cannot: • Cause hair loss • Cause any sort of stammering or other speech impairments • Have any effect whatsoever on your fertility Really, it won’t. It can’t. If it could, more than 95% of the population would be bald, infertile and…
