I'm thinking about having a second child and really hope for a baby boy to complete our family. My first child is a lovely 3.5-year-old girl. Is there any advice or methods to help conceive a boy?

While it's not possible to guarantee the gender of your baby naturally, some methods like timing intercourse around ovulation or choosing specific positions may slightly influence the odds. However, it's important to remember that the most accurate way to select a baby's gender is through medical procedures like IVF with genetic testing, though these come with ethical and legal considerations.

I'm a 22-year-old girl and I feel a really strong urge for sex almost every day, except during my periods. I'm a student and it's starting to interfere with my studies because I get really restless and can't focus when this happens. Is there any way I can control these urges? Any medications or something?

So, my wife and I are thinking about trying anal sex, and we're not exactly sure where to start with lubricants. Is there a specific type you would recommend that's available at a medical store? Also, are there any other tips or suggestions you'd have for us?

You can use KY jelly. However it's not flavored. You may go for durex gel as well, which you can find in different flavors

I'm wondering if inserting two fingers into my vagina means that my hymen is broken. Does the easier insertion indicate anything specific about the state of my hymen? I'm kind of concerned and would love some insights.

Normally you can't insert a single finger also so yes it can break the hymen
