COURSTEY MIRRIOR MUMBAI MAY 7

ASK THE SEXPERT
DR MAHINDER WATSA

1 I am a 19-year-old man and I shave my pubic hair regularly. The problem is, after shaving, the new growth is invariably sharp and pointy and hurts a lot. I want to know whether I am doing something wrong and if I should use a specific kind of shaving blades. Are there laser treatments that can permanently rid me of the hair around my penis? Are they safe?

Shaving with a blade is well known to produce sharp and pointed hair. Alternatively, try using a hair removal cream available at the chemist. Permanent hair removal through laser treatment is also an option. Surf the internet to identify a specialist in your area.

2 I am a 22-year-old man and I engage in a lot of intercourse with my partner. Recently, I noted that when I had an orgasm, there was no sperm in my ejaculation. This has happened thrice and I am worried. What should I do?

From the information you have provided, sperm are minute and cannot be seen by the human eye, except when under a microscope. So please clarify whether there was any discharge at all. Require more details for further advice. A visit to the urologist will help.

3 I have a girlfriend but I’m really attracted to my boss who is very attractive. We flirt a lot and I don’t know if she has the same feelings for me as I do for her. Also, I’m not sure if it’s just infatuation or something more serious. All I am certain of is that I really want to have sex with her. Will acting on this lead to complications? What should I do?

You are taking a risk. Unless you are not keen on your job, I will not advise you to go any further.
