SEX RELATED QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY A SEXPERT

• I am 29 years old. I have a big problem. My penis size is very small. How can I increase its size? Also, is there any specific doctor who can be consulted for the same?

Consult your family doctor. If he feels right, he will refer you to an appropriate doctor. However, there is little one can do to enlarge the penis size.

• I am a 21-year-old man. I am going to get married next year. Please tell me, how do I increase my stamina to be able to enjoy prolonged sex? Normally, I ejaculate in less than 30 seconds. Is there any medicine to cure it? Please reply.

Try to learn better self-control. During masturbation, stop just before you feel you are about to ejaculate. After gaining control, start again. Repeat this for 10 to 15 times before ejaculation. After four months, you will have better self-control.

• I am 25 years old. I get an erection very often. I don't think this happens with everyone. Because of this, the bulge in my pants becomes visible. For the past two days, I am wearing tight underwears. However, it's not very comfortable. Is this curable?

Do not wear tight underwear. Frequent erections, like yours, are normal.

• I am 25 years old. I have a small penis. When erect, it's nearly four inches. Also, it is very thin. I haven't had sex till today. I am going to get married after two years. I am a very sensitive person. Whenever I read or see anything graphic, I get an erection and a liquid comes out. My testicles are also very small. I get a good erection but I have very low confidence level due to its small size. I masturbate ten times every month. Has this got anything to do with size? How can I increase the size?

Four inches when erect is a satisfactory length for intercourse. At your age, further growth is difficult. You may check with an andrologist. When excited, a lubricating fluid is always excreted. Your reactions are normal.
