Erectile dysfunction questions  
Yes, since the base of the penis is not covered by the condom, it can come in contact with the infected person’s skin. If she is carrying an infection, you could be exposed to it. Do not panic. Get a test done for STDs and HIV.

Your body is telling you that you are over-masturbating.Do it only when you are sexually excited, and you will recover soon. Just as your tongue cannot get thin from usage,your penis cannot be rubbed away by masturbation.Slight curvature should be ignored. It will not affect your sex life.

I’m a 26-year-old teetotaller, and non-smoker. I have hypertension and have been taking anti-hypertentin Tab Cresar H (talmisartan 40mg, hydrochlorothiazide 12.5). Will it affect my sex life?

Some antihypertensives do effect erection. If so, the doctor can change the medication.

I am a 50-year-old woman. My husband is 55. We got married 23 years ago, and have two sons. For the last 10 years, my husband has been suffering from diabetes and blood pressure. Last year, he underwent an angioplasty. Of late, he hasn’t been getting an erection and is avoiding me. He is also attracted to a young 22-yearold man with a good physique. Whenever he comes home, my husband goes out of his way to please him and cooks something special. In his presence, he insults me. I suspect he is in a physical relationship with him. When I question him, he gets angry and threatens to divorce me. Help.

It seems like your husband is in love with this young man and getting physically intimate with him. It is possible that his erection has weakened due to diabetes or a change in love interest. You will have to seriously consider whether you wish to continue your marriage.

I am a 43-year-old man with no history of BP or other ailment. I exercise regularly and am very fit. But I am unable to maintain an erection for long, the way I used to when I was 25. What is the reason?

The reason is that you are 43, not 25. If you are enjoying satisfactory intercourse, no need to worry. Else see a sexpert.

I am a 66-year-old man. I indulge in sex with no one other than my wife. I am vegetarian. I want to get a good erection. What should I do? If I masturbate daily, will it affect my hearing and eye sight?

Masturbation will not affect any of your functions. If you cannot get an erection, visit a sexpert.

I am 65 years old and have been married for 41 years. Our sex life is alright. But I get an erection only once in 15 days. Also, the penis is not as stiff as it once was. When I indulge in intercourse, I itch for which I have consulted a gynaecologist who gave me ZOLE-F MX ointment. This has eased the itch, but with prolonged usage, it has led to irritation. Kindly suggest a good medicine. I do not have BP and sugar.

A visit to a sexologist can help you with better erections. Please see a skin specialist as it would not be right for me to advise.
