The chances of infections are high in hot and humid climate that one encounters in our city. Infections can range from superficial skin infections due to fungus to sexually transmitted infections (STD).

Where can I get artificial penis?I am a 26-year-old woman.
The artificial penis is popularly called the Dildo. Indian law considers the sale of sex toys illegal. Hence sex toys, though hugely popular in some of the western countries, are legally unavailable in our city. Ordering one on the internet is one option.

Try masturbating. Certain areas of the female body like the inner thighs, breasts, nipple, clitoris etc are sensitive to sexual stimuli. Coordinated use of the fingers and hands may relieve the problem. I never masturbate.

Will it affect my sex life?
The sperms cannot be stored in the male body for ever. They need to find a way out. Masturbation, nightfall, sex are the ways for sexual outlet. Masturbation is the process of self-stimulation. There are no ill effects if you do not masturbate.

The stored sperms may be finding the way out by nightfall. You are just depriving yourself of a pleasurable sexual experience that has no side effects. Talk to your doctor if in doubt.

I have sex only with my husband. My vagina is smelling of late. Why?
The chances of infections are high in hot and humid climate that one encounters in our city. Infections can range from superficial skin infections due to fungus to sexually transmitted infections (STD). The chances of urinary tract infection are higher among females.

The pre-menstrual flow may lead to foul smelling discharge in some cases. Request your husband to use a condom for the time being. You need to consult the gynaecologist if the problem persists. Wearing cotton undergarments, use of warm water to clean the private parts and keeping the private parts dry are just some of the ways for healthy sexual life.
