I'm curious about oral activities and I'm wondering if it's safe. Can you catch any diseases from doing it? If there are risks, how can someone do it safely? If not, is it okay to keep doing it?

Oral-genital contact can carry the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as herpes, gonorrhea, or HPV. It's important to practice good hygiene, use protection like dental dams, and ensure both partners are free of infections for safety. If you're unsure, it's best to discuss this with a healthcare provider.

I've completely stopped masturbating because I used to feel super fatigued and lazy afterwards. I was doing it every night and it's become a concern for me now. I'm a 33-year-old guy, and I'm just wondering if stopping entirely is a good idea or not. Could you give me some advice on this?
Stopping masturbation completely is a personal choice and can have different effects on individuals. It is important to listen to your body and how it responds to the change. If you are feeling fatigued and lazy after masturbating, it may be a sign that your body needs a break from it. It is generally considered safe to stop masturbating completely, as long as it does not cause any physical or emotional distress. However, it is also important to find a balance that works for you. If you are experiencing any discomfort or changes in your physical or mental health, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further guidance.

I've been having some trouble with my foreskin since I can't pull it back when my penis is erect, and it really hurts when I try. I'm wondering, could this be phimosis or maybe paraphimosis? Also, I'm curious if there's a way to treat this without surgery, or is surgery the way to go? If I do need surgery, is it safe to have it done at my age, and should I be worried about any side effects?
You may be experiencing phimosis, which is the inability to fully retract the foreskin over the head of the penis. This can cause pain and discomfort, especially during erections. Phimosis is different from paraphimosis, which is a medical emergency where the retracted foreskin cannot be returned to its original position. For phimosis treatment, you can try using topical steroid creams such as Betamethasone or Hydrocortisone. These creams can help to soften the foreskin and make it easier to retract. You can apply a pea-sized amount of the cream to the tight area twice a day for a few weeks. If conservative treatments do not work, then circumcision surgery may be recommended.
