If I tear my frenulum will it be any change on premature ejaculation????

Hi There is some evidence that people who have a short frenulum could see improvements in premature ejaculation times if the frenulum is removed. It seems with you there could be a change if you tear your frenulum. It probably depends on how much of the frenulum was damaged and if you had a short frenulum to begin with. I am unsure of your particular situation for example did you tear your... Read Full Answer

i love being intimate with my boyfriend but for some reason i can never climax, even though it still feels good to me.

Hello, this is quite a common occurrence: you are not alone on this topic. Before we can get to the matter exactly, there are a few questions one must ask themselves. 1) Have I ever reached “climax” on my own/by myself? If yes, see question 2. If no, this may be a good starting point. If you feel comfortable, it may be a good idea to explore your body and see what feels good for you so that... Read Full Answer

Im 24 years old and still a virgin, and i have been experiencing mid cycle spotting for the past 8-9 years and i think its time for me to get a pap test. However, i am very scared to get a test done because I've never been sexually active before or had any sort of penetration so i think my hymen is still in tact. I guess my question is would a gyno still be able to do the test on me and what can i expect? Im just looking for some guidance and words of encouragement because i am very scared but...

The string attached to my penis has torn off and a piece of it is still in contact with the tip of my penis, just not the foreskin. What can I do in this situation?

Hi I am unsure if I understand what happened to you so let me know if I got this wrong. It sounds like you may have ripped the frenulum. The frenulum is the elastic band of tissue under the head of the penis (glans penis) and connects to the foreskin. If you did rip off the frenulum I would recommend that you go to a clinic and have it looked at. Depending on how bad it is they may be able to... Read Full Answer

Hi and thanks for your thoughts and resources on this... I am 47 and have been put on a waitlist for surgery to repair my organ prolapses that remain after my last vaginal birth (13 years ago). After trying pelvic physio, pessary etc, I was unable to find any other solution to address the incontinence and get active again. (Pelvic physiotherapist cautioned against running, or other high impact exercise because it shakes down everything in my vagina...it also feels awful because I can feel all...

Hi I have been able to speak with our doctor’s at our main STI clinic and can provide a brief summary of what they have suggested. You are correct this type of surgical procedure you are looking at does carry some risk in regard to how it may change your sexual functioning in the future. I have been able to look at some research papers in regard to this and currently they believe 5 to 20 % of... Read Full Answer
