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'm a bit worried about a habit I have. I use a condom every night when I masturbate because it gives me a lot of pleasure. But I'm concerned if this might cause problems for me in the future. Also, I've been wondering if there's a way to naturally enlarge penis size. Could you help me out with some advice on these issues?

Using a condom during masturbation is a safe practice and should not cause any problems in the future. If you are looking to enlarge your penis size, there are no medications or methods that have been scientifically proven to be effective. It is important to remember that penis size is determined by genetics and cannot be significantly altered. If you have concerns about your penis size, it may be helpful to speak with a healthcare provider for further guidance.
