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 really worried about my performance in bed. I feel like it's not great, and I want to have more sexual energy. After two or three times, I just ejaculate too quickly. Also, I'm concerned because my penis is small. I'm 26 years old and Im wondering if I should start taking shilajit resin. How often would be safe to take it each day or week?

It's important to address any concerns with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. Shilajit resin is sometimes used to support energy and vitality, but it's best to consult your doctor for guidance on its usage and to discuss any underlying factors affecting your performance. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management can also contribute to overall sexual health.

I'm dealing with a really uncomfortable situation here. An ant bit me on the penis, and now it's all swollen. What should I do or use for this?

It seems like the swelling is due to an allergic reaction to the ant bite. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and use a mild hydrocortisone cream or an antihistamine cream like calamine lotion to soothe the area. If the swelling worsens or you experience severe discomfort, consult a doctor.
