Im 18 and I've got a question that's been really bothering me. I often masturbate and once this thought hit me: if I accidentally swallow my own sperm, can that give me STDs like AIDS? I've never had sex before, so Im still a virgin. And what about someone who's sexually activeif they swallow their own sperm and have bleeding gums or something, could they get AIDS that way? This whole idea is kind of stressing me out.

It's understandable to feel concerned, but swallowing your own sperm does not transmit HIV or other STDs. HIV is primarily spread through direct contact with infected bodily fluids during unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from mother to child. Bleeding gums or mouth sores can increase the risk of transmission in sexual situations, but this is not a concern with your scenario. If you're feeling distressed, it may help to talk to a healthcare provider for further support.

It helps in diluting the stones and breaks them into small pieces. These very small pieces of kidney stones can then easily pass through the urinary tract without obstruction. In most cases, Berberis Vulgaris does wonders and brings positive results in the condition of kidney stones in a very short period of time.

My penis curves to the left when erect and I'm really worried about it. I'm 24 and unmarried is this something that needs treatment or surgery to straighten it out?
A curved penis, especially during erection, can be normal, but it's crucial to determine if it's due to a natural variation or a condition like Peyronie's disease. If the curvature is severe, painful, or causes difficulty with intercourse, it may warrant treatment, which could include medication or surgery
