I'm wondering if applying olive oil every day to the penis and glans might lead to a loss of sensation there. Just a bit worried and curious about the possible effects it could have. Could this actually make the area less sensitive over time?

Daily massage with olive oil on the penis and glans is unlikely to cause a sensationless penis. However, excessive or improper use of any oil or substance could potentially lead to irritation or sensitivity issues. It's important to consult a healthcare provider if you experience any unusual changes or discomfort.

I'm really confused and concerned about my semen analysis results from a couple of days ago. The report showed a count of 8 million per ml and motility at 45%. This morning, I tried a home test by adding semen to water, and I noticed that about 90% of it sank. Could you explain what it means when semen sinks or floats? I'm really curious and worried.

Thank you for your query. Typically, semen that sinks in water may indicate lower sperm motility or vitality, as healthy sperm are more likely to float. However, it's important to consider that a home test may not provide an accurate representation of sperm health. I recommend discussing these results with a healthcare provider for further analysis and guidance.
