ASK THE SEXPERT
DR MAHINDER WATSA

1 I am 25-year-old and, physically, I am very fit. I have been masturbating for the last eight years, and I tend to overdo it when I am stressed. I have been overdoing it recently due to stress. Recently, following the act, I discovered some blood in my semen and this has got me worried. Is it a symptom of some lifethreatening health condition, and should I get some tests done? I am worried as I am planning to get married this year. I have learnt my lesson and will stop this habit.

Take steps to de-stress and also reduce the frequency of masturbation. Masturbate only when sexually excited. If you are sure that blood is seen in your seminal discharge, you must visit a urologist. In the meantime, you may get your urine examined at a pathology lab and increase your intake of fluids.

2 I am an 18-year-old man. If I give a blowjob to a man who has HIV or AIDS, would I get infected?

If there is a point of entry between his penis and your mouth, there is a possibility that the virus may enter the body. Do not risk it. In future, always use a condom. There are flavoured condoms available.
