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 been masturbating twice a day for the last 45 years, and I've never actually had sex with someone before. Last night, I tried to get intimate with my girlfriend, and I found out that my penis wasn't getting hard enough for sex. It was really disappointing, and now I'm worried. Any suggestions on what I should do?
It's natural to feel worried, but occasional difficulty with erections can happen due to stress, anxiety, or overthinking. Masturbation habits aren't usually the cause. Try to relax, focus on the moment, and reduce stress. If the issue persists, consulting a doctor can help rule out physical or psychological factors.

I have category 1 phimosis where my foreskin retracts fully when flaccid but only goes halfway down the head when erect. It feels tight if I try to pull it further back. I don't think surgery is necessary can you recommend any steroid creams or medicines to help loosen and increase flexibility in the foreskin?
For category 1 phimosis, where the foreskin retracts fully when flaccid but not when erect, steroid creams can be a helpful treatment option to increase foreskin flexibility. Specifically, topical corticosteroids like hydrocortisone or stronger creams like clobetasol (Dermovate) can be applied to help reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. Gentle foreskin stretching exercises, after applying the cream, can also be beneficial
