Can i use saliva as lube? 2 Facts on using saliva as lube
Men’s Health Blogs Can i use saliva as lube? 2 Facts on using saliva as lube Welcome to Dr Shahs Clinic, in this quick video we are going to answer the question ‘Can i use saliva as lube?’. We will explore the magic of combining sex with saliva (we will see how magical it is!). Jokes apart let move on to the more serious stuff. Doc, can i use saliva as lube?, this is probably the single most common question I get. Its not surprising. An estimated 40% of couples use lubricants (saliva, KY jelly) or otherwise some ridiculous flower scented concoctions. Don’t get me wrong though. Using lubes definitely adds to pleasure for most couples. I mean people use saliva while masturbating, partnered sex, mutual masturbation and what not? Lubes of various varieties are also put into the mix. Moreover, saliva as lube is utilized in men with erectile dysfunction and in women with vaginal dryness However, there are some instances where you probably do not want to use saliva as lube. The best instance being ‘when trying for a child’. Saliva can basically give your sperms a knock-out punch. Studies done as early as the 1980’s have shown that saliva reduces sperm motility by 50% within just 5 mins of exposure. Not just that, by 15 mins of coming in contact with saliva, the sperm motility basically drops to zero. This is because saliva contains numerous substances that can technically ‘kamikaze’ your sperm. So, unless you are planning to use saliva as contraception method (not the best of course) you are probably better off not using saliva a lube when trying to conceive. Moreover, their are few more studies with some interesting observations. Dr. Shah Dupesh Consultant Andrologist & Sexologist Ready to improve your Reproductive Health? Discuss your concerns in a private setting and get personalized guidance tailored to your needs. Book a Call Book a Call Can saliva kill sperm? Oh yeah. Saliva is a sperm terminator In a few other studies, under the light microscope, scientist’s tried placing drops of sperm and drops of saliva beside one another. What did they find? Here again, sperm motility fell withing 5 mins of exposure and in about 15 mins the total sperm motility dropped to ‘0’. Interestingly, the sperms exhibited a kind of ‘shaking movement’ when exposed to saliva (sperms can get scared as well, have some mercy) Moreover, from the context of sexual hygiene, things get a bit more serious. Say….you are single and in a ‘not so committed’ relationship (in other words you do not know if you are going to marry the person), in these specific scenarios, you better watch out for STD’s And boy oh boy, saliva does transmit STI (sexually transmitted infections). In fact saliva can transmit a variety of sexually transmitted infections. Some common infections that can spread to your partner via saliva include 1. Herpes Simplex Virus leading to genital warts 2. Gonorrhea (by kissing and oro-genital sex) 3. Chlamydia (again by oral-penile sex) Subscribe to our Newsletter A beautiful study conducted in Australia called the HIM study has shown clearly that both Gonorrhea and Chlamydia can transmit through saliva. On an average, upon stimulation, via kissing and during oro-genital sex, saliva production in a man can reach 4-5 ml per minute (similar to that of eating food or chewing) thus aiding transmission of std’s. So should you use saliva as lube during sex? Well be careful and be damn cautious. The last thing you want is to end up with a damn STD. Trust me, it takes you out. Most importantly, I am sure you do not want your partner to end up with genital ulcers or lesions post sex. is a bit unfair right? So, exercise caution and avoid using saliva as lube. Should you definitely need to use a lube, use K-Y jelly or coconut oil as lube (more so when fertility is not a goal). I hope you found this blog post on ‘can i use saliva as lube’ informative.

Can Masturbation Cause Delayed Ejaculation?
Men’s Health Blogs Can Masturbation Cause Delayed Ejaculation? Hey guys, in this short post I will tell you something you probably don’t want to hear. Lets understand and answer the question ‘can masturbation cause delayed ejaculation?’ Masturbation thrills young guys. I mean who isn’t right? Even women masturbate. Most men in our country are not aware of their better half indulging in their own sweet little ‘sex fantasies’. However, with men what we do know is that, masturbation (if left unchecked) can lead to numerous problems. A superb example of the same is called as ‘prone masturbation‘. Men who engage in prone masturbation, basically rub their genitals on the floor or bed or even the toilet seat. The vigorous action of rubbing triggers ejaculation. The hard rubbing generates friction and thus ejaculation. Consequently, for these men who engage in prone masturbation, delayed ejaculation develops. But why does prone masturbation lead to delayed ejaculation? Can masturbation cause delayed ejaculation? Well, its because, the penis becomes differently sensitive. The explanation is below. Firstly, with prone masturbation, the proximal portion or root of the penis develops a higher degree of sensitivity to the constant rubbing action. Secondly, the tip of the penis and the mid-shaft region are not exposed to any stimuli. Therefore, they lose sensitivity and become hypo-sensitive to touch and other stimulation. To summarize, the penis tip, glans and mid-shaft are not sensitive when these men engage in penetrative sex (with their partners). In prone masturbation the tip and mid-shaft stimulation do not occur. However in penetrative sex, its not the root (unlike prone masturbation) that is stimulated when the man penetrates the vagina, its the penis tip and mid shaft (you get the point right?)

Book a Call Book a Call To better explain Prone masturbation = Root Stimulation (which is sensitive) = Desire and Ejaculation For Prone masturbator’s when they engage in penetrative sex = Penis tip and shaft stimulation (which is not sensitive)= No Desire and No or Delayed Ejaculation Lastly, what is the biggest problem with delayed ejaculation? Patients suffering from delayed ejaculation have difficult sex lives. They have no choice but to masturbate and only masturbate watching porn. Moreover, they get stuck with their masturbatory behavior sometimes for life, they suffer multiple break-ups and ship-wrecked relationships. Sad and depressing, is it not? But that is not the end of the story, the biggest issue these men face is infertility. So can masturbation cause infertility? Yes it can. Since with delayed ejaculation (resulting from the prone masturbatory behavior) semen or sperm is never deposited in the vagina, infertility results Subscribe to our Newsletter So can masturbation cause delayed ejaculation?

Can Masturbation Cause Premature Ejaculation?
Men’s Health Blogs Can Masturbation Cause Premature Ejaculation? Hey guys, this is a very important video. Can masturbation cause premature ejaculation? Lets science the truth out of this statement. Who doesn’t love to masturbate? Masturbation as a practice is rampantly being practiced these days by men of almost all ages. It seems the entire scientific community have normalized the practice of masturbation as a normal part of adult sexual development. There seems to be no recommendation about a male masturbation limit. Furthermore, many patients do not realize that masturbation and constant porn watching can wreck their personal relationships with their partners. In a previous post we discussed on whether and can masturbation cause erection problems?. However, in this post we will discuss elaborately on how masturbation can lead to premature ejaculation. Firstly, we must understand ‘what is premature ejaculation‘? To put it simply, men with premature ejaculation (PE) can seldom hold or control their ejaculation. These men ejaculation within a minute of vaginal penetration. Moreover, the ejaculation can happen even during foreplay. This is probably the most sever form of premature ejaculation. Most men do not realize that premature ejaculation is the most commonest sexual dysfunction. It affects close to 40% of men who are in a sexual relationship. Premature ejaculation wrecks your partner. She is going to go mad!. Jokes apart, when women don’t achieve their orgasm due to PE in men, things in the relationship can go really messy. Ultimately, the relationship breaks down. Dr. Shah Dupesh Consultant Andrologist & Sexologist Ready to improve your Reproductive Health? Discuss your concerns in a private setting and get personalized guidance tailored to your needs. Book a Call Book a Call But, how on earth is all this linked with masturbation? Here is a simple example I use while advising patients. What would happen should you go to buffet meals everyday? Say for breakfast? Now, You and I both know, that a buffet meal is 100 times better to look at and taste plus has more variety compared to the same boring breakfast. However, if you eat full-stomach in the buffet meal, what happens? You will eventually upset your stomach, get obese and suffer miserably in the long run. Pornography and masturbation is actually the buffet meal you consume on a daily basis. Get the point? You get to see a variety of women in porn. All the while, your brain gets conditioned to highly erotic visual stimuli. Most importantly, what happens here is that, the first time you may be able to hold your erection. The second time, you will watch something even more erotic. Consequently, with more higher levels of erotica what happens is that, your brains ejaculation latency time would decrease!. Thus leading to Premature Ejaculation. If these issues where not enough, from a neurological view-point your brain takes an active note of the ‘ejaculation time’. Eventually, the time to ejaculation get fixed at <1 minute simply because your brain has become habituated to the premature ejaculation. To summarize, this process of habituation is the single most biggest issue that results in premature ejaculation. Once this process sets in, you will end with up with anxiety and avoid sex, since you know well that you cant last long. The fact that you have PE itself will kill your sexual drive. Moreover, you will also lose erectile function during partnered sex. Why? the performance anxiety that developed will kill your erection. Now, going back to our example of buffet meal versus regular idli’s, what happens if you do not try a variety of different sexual stimuli? What if you do not try casual sex? OR What if you do not try something sexually exotic all the time? What if you stick to ‘having sexual intercourse only with your stable partner’? (Idli’s everyday). Remember, here I am not even referring to marriage. It is just a stable partner relationship. Nothing more. Well basically what happens is that, you get used to your partners body. Furthermore, you get used to the visual stimuli that your partners body is going to generate. Eventually, every little erotic stimuli your partners body generates, you get used to it. Including smell (another important sexual cue). Consequently, over a period of time, with the help of medications and certain exercises, we can help you achieve a control over your ejaculation. This is because your brain has just one kind of ‘stimuli input’ to process and does not have to deal with a wide variety of sexually arousing inputs. But, for all this to happen, you need to let go of masturbatory behavior. You definitely need to let go of watching porn as well. Subscribe to our Newsletter So, can masturbation cause premature ejaculation? Its a definite yes. Close to 85% of my patients who masturbate complaint of premature ejaculation. Unfortunately, this is a problem. I hope you liked this short blog post. Please share and drop in your comments below.

Does Masturbation Cause Erection Problems?
Men’s Health Blogs Does Masturbation Cause Erection Problems? A very common question I keep getting from my patients as a sexologist is ‘does masturbation cause erection problems?’ Doctor, does masturbation cause sexual disorders?. I mean, doc, how many times can we masturbate in day? Is their a male masturbation limit?. Fortunate are those who seek the truth in everything one hears and speaks. While this is NOT my saying, Its something, you must remember when you are actively googling about masturbation. Today their is a shit load of inaccurate, non-scientific and invalidated information on masturbation. So very sad indeed. Today many professionals and self-proclaimed sexperts are claiming masturbation to be a very normal part of human development. These andrologist and sexologists are in-fact recommending to do masturbation DAILY. Even 5 times/day is these days being sanctified as normal. Some experts go so far to say to state that regular masturbation even reduces prostate cancer. Crap! Crap and double crap. So does masturbation cause more harm than good? Is it really recommended to masturbate regularly? What is the truth?. Today a range of studies have explored and are exploring the link between masturbatory practices and erectile dysfunction Dr. Shah Dupesh Consultant Andrologist & Sexologist Ready to improve your Reproductive Health? Discuss your concerns in a private setting and get personalized guidance tailored to your needs. Book a Call Book a Call Does masturbation cause sexual disorders? Does masturbation cause erection problems? The answer is YES, it does. Masturbation has been linked with a range of sexual disorders. They are 1. Erectile Dysfunction 2. Premature Ejaculation 3. And Retarded Ejaculation In a study by Lipsith et al, a beautiful publication that I would encourage you to read, the authors have given a proposed framework on exactly how masturbation leads to the development of erectile dysfunction. A normal adult goes to 3 important phases of sexual development. During the 1st phase or years near to puberty, young adults explore their genitals, masturbate and watch erotica (porn). In the stage 2, as the young adult gets older, he gets involved with women and eventually explores partnered sex. But, the catch is that, masturbation is still very much a part of his sexual outlets. Consequently, in stage 2 their is both masturbation + heterosexual sexual exposure. Lastly, in stage of sexual development, should things go normally for men, their is the establishment of stable sexual relationship with partners. Masturbatory behavior slowly reduces in frequency. However, in a small proportion of men ‘masturbation fixation’ occurs. Once the masturbation fixation establishes itself, the man will get so addicted to porn and sexual content, so much so that, he will not be able to get any arousal with his stable partner or married partner….ever. Eventually, these men develop erectile dysfunction of a psychogenic nature. They can never let go of the ‘habit of masturbation’. So, does masturbation cause erectile dysfunction? it does. Men who can let go of the masturbatory practices at an appropriate age, end up developing erectile disorder and other sexual disorders with their stable partners. Subscribe to our Newsletter Interestingly, these men will maintain good erectile function in isolation with porn. Why? This is because their no female partner to judge these men while they silently jerk-off to a ‘harem of women’ on screen. The visual erotica that porn provides is damn bloody exciting. It also discreet and you get variety. I mean who seriously wants f#$k the same women over and over again? When you get so many women naked on screen, that is exactly what your inner-brain (reptilian part of it) craves for. The saddest thing, these men can never have sexual intercourse with their partners. They eventually suffer in silence for years and also end up with multiple broken relationships. To conclude, masturbation is like a walking stick You must know when to give it up or at-least reduce the frequency of it.

Does Masturbation cause Infertility?
Men’s Health Blogs Does Masturbation cause Infertility? Masturbation, masturbation and masturbation. Seems like everyone is hooked on it. This is Dr Shah, consultant andrologist in chennai, and in this short blog post lets answer the question if ‘does masturbation cause infertility?’ Many young men, engage in masturbatory behavior. Not just that, these days, across the media and even the scientific community, the habit of masturbation is being now accepted as a normal part of adult sexual development. Moreover, it is extremely saddening to see, many professionals in the filed encourage the practice of masturbation among young adults. How on earth do you think it’s okay to masturbate 2 or 3 times per day?. Sadly today, these are things that are encouraged Furthermore, lets not forget the advent of pornography that basically made us men ‘ejaculate on computers or mobile screens’ Yuk, yuk, yuk However, the biggest issue we tend to miss is that, once the man gets addicted to porn and nude women on screens, he is in ‘wonderland’. And wonderland is a fun place to be in. Thing about it? Sounds motivating, right?. Secondly wonderland is a place no man wants to leave ever. Thus the vicious cycle of porn addiction begins, he starts ignoring his stable married partner and engages with ‘sex on screen’. Hell yeah. Eventually, the man will not get desire or even any mood from his partner and will avoid intercourse. Consequently, the avoidance of intercourse with his stable partner leads to infertility. Dr. Shah Dupesh Consultant Andrologist & Sexologist Ready to improve your Reproductive Health? Discuss your concerns in a private setting and get personalized guidance tailored to your needs. Book a Call Book a Call Thus, does masturbation cause infertility? Of course it does, but not in the manner most men think so. From a neurological perspective, the visual erotica and visual inputs that porn gives to the man is something, his boring wife can never ever give. This is what maintains the cycle of addiction. With masturbation, the biggest advantage is that, you have no one (I meant no partner) to judge you in anyway. You get an ‘awesome harem of women to fuck with all in myriad ways’ right on your screen. Think for a moment, what tastes better? Is it dosa or idli? Or is it a full fat buffet breakfast with muffins, french fries combined with sausages. The answer is obvious, its the buffet. We tend to pick that which grabs our attention (anytime and all the time). That is what masturbation ultimately does to men. It makes them dependent and addicted to a fantasy land. Subscribe to our Newsletter Masturbation addiction is a genuine pesky problem that ultimately leads to infertility. Another area where masturbation can cause infertility is by a special style of masturbation called ‘prone masturbation‘. Men who engage in this practice are called “Prone Masturbators” (like terminators). Dumb-ass jokes apart, this habit develops in individuals close to the time of puberty, where the child starts exploring his genitals (fiddling with them) and eventually rubbing them on the bed, pillows and achieving their orgasm with of course ejaculation. Furthermore, the practice of rubbing the organ, in the toilet seat, sink and bathroom floor gives the ‘prone masturbator’ the necessary friction and pleasure to achieve an orgasm. Consequently, men who eventually get addicted to the habit of prone masturbation, develop erectile dysfunction when they are trying sex with their partners. The net result? Infertility again! To conclude, I hope you enjoyed this short blog post on ‘does masturbation cause infertility’. Keep watching this space and stop watching PORN and avoid masturbation at all costs. In the end, its not worth it (and definitely not worth losing your marriage over masturbation addiction). This is Dr Shah, consultant sexologist in chennai.

How long to lie down after sex to get pregnant?
Men’s Health Blogs How long to lie down after sex to get pregnant? So, you are trying for a child? And probably one of the biggest questions that could be running in your mind now is ‘how long to lie down after sex to get pregnant’?. In this short blog post we are going to answer this very question and a few other relevant questions. https://youtube.com/shorts/1y_so8vTy38 To quickly elaborate, most women may find that semen back-flows from their vaginal opening after intercourse with their partners. This is something they dread, since most women (and men) get agitated or worried when they see a large portion of the ejaculate leak out. Moreover, not just that, they think the sperms are lost and pregnancy wont ever happen. As a sexologist, this is common worry I see with my patients However, this is far from the truth. Studies on rodent models and guinea pigs show that, semen coagulates and forms a plug, prevent too much back flow. This allows the sperm to swim from the plug upwards towards the egg. Furthermore in humans as well a loose gelatinous plug is formed and this protects the sperm from the harsh acid like vaginal environment. The plug also allows the sperm rich fraction to stay in close to the cervical opening. To elaborate, the semen deposited in the vagina will flow back (because semen does liquefy 15 to 20 mins post ejaculation), but the sperm rich fraction which is usually just 1% of the entire ejaculate is deposited in the vagina. Consequently, from the sperm rich fraction, the motile sperms will swim rapidly upwards into the uterus, aided by uterine contractions to reach the egg. The reason a women’s orgasm is important is simply because, the uterine contractions propel the motile spermatozoa upwards rapidly towards the egg!. So, should you worry about sperm back flow? The answer is definitely a big NO. Dr. Shah Dupesh Consultant Andrologist & Sexologist Ready to improve your Reproductive Health? Discuss your concerns in a private setting and get personalized guidance tailored to your needs. Book a Call Book a Call How long should you lie down after sex to get pregnant? More importantly what to do after sex to conceive? The answer is basically to lie down for at-least 5 to 10 minutes. Don’t keep lying down though for hours together, unless of course you are having intercourse at night. The time that you need to give the spermatozoa to swim from the anterior vagina to the egg is just about ‘5 minutes’. Nothing more and nothing less. Secondly another important fact to bear in mind, is never to flush wash the vaginal region post intercourse with a hand held faucet. Most women tend to do that, this automatically will immobilize the spermatozoa and in some instances reduce the chances of a pregnancy. Subscribe to our Newsletter Thirdly, after sex which side to sleep? That does really matter, sleep on any side peacefully. Really that does not count. Now that you understand a bit about sperm transport, the next time your friend asks you ‘how long should i lay on my back while trying to conceive?’ You have the correct answer. About 5 mins. That’s it. I hope enjoyed reading this short blog post.

How long does sex last?
Men’s Health Blogs How long does sex last? Well, this is one question I am itching to answer. Sex normally lasts anywhere from 45 seconds to 45 minutes. This shows gross extremes in time duration. However, the mean average times for most couples ranges from anywhere between 4 to 6 minutes. So, how long does sexual intercourse normally last? It depends on a multitude of factors and not just your partner’s individual capacity. Here is short video below Some of us, of course end up getting disappointed or even disgusted when a finish to early (a condition called premature ejaculation). In men who come early sex lasts less than a minute. However, in some men, ejaculation can be so delayed, sex can become tiring resulting in delayed ejaculation or even no ejaculation at all. As you correctly noticed, a women cannot find a meaningful sexual gratification with extremes of sexual time-frames. Coming too early and not coming at all are both detrimental to a healthy sexual relationship. You ideally want about 7 to 10 minutes of sexual foreplay (kissing, hugging, stimulating the breast, oro-genital stimulation) followed by about 5 minutes of penetrative sex. This of course results in a total duration of 12 to 15 minutes (which can be fun-filled and full-filling to both partners). Of course, the duration of sex can depend on how frequently you have it with your partner. Let me give you an interesting example. Say for example, you have sex frequently on an average 4 to5 per week, the duration of sex will be longer. You will notice you have more control over your ejaculation. However, in some instances you may notice that you are having intercourse only 1/month, then in these cases, because of the long abstinence, sex may not last long.

How many times masturbation can be done in day? Male Masturbation limit explained
Men’s Health Blogs How many times masturbation can be done in day? Male Masturbation limit explained Hey guys, in this quick blog post we are going to quickly go over ‘how many times masturbation can be done in day?’. We shall quickly explore the male masturbation limit. My name is Dr Shah, and I specialize in male infertility treatments and sexual health. You can also watch the video below. It summarizes everything in 4 minutes!. How many times masturbation can be done in day?? – The video has the answer First and foremost, masturbation is an age old behavior. If you look at it’s origins, well, masturbation as a behavior dates back to the Egyptian era. The God Atum, also known as the supreme god in Egyptian religious ideology is depicted to have masturbated while feeling aroused or ‘horny’ (Do gods actually feel horny?). Anyways jokes apart, the legend goes like this, Atum felt horny and masturbated. Upon the spillage of his semen 2 gods were born. Moreover, it was even a customary practice in Egypt for the pharaoh and his tribe-men to masturbate into the river to pay his respect and homage to God Atum. But, historically speaking, religions like Zoroastrianism, Christianity and Islam (relatively speaking) has largely condemned the practice of masturbation and/or masturbatory behavior. The habit of masturbation has been frequently looked down upon as something very very disgusting. Dr. Shah Dupesh Consultant Andrologist & Sexologist Ready to improve your Reproductive Health?

Book a Call Book a Call Furthermore, lets be honest, we are not celebrating ‘masturbatory behavior’ as some some sort of historical achievement. This is in-spite of the fact that many eminent researchers, scientists, developmental psychologists have largely stated that masturbation is a part of normal adolescent sexual development. The truth however is not as simple as it always may seem. While masturbation is and can be a part of adult normal sexual development, you have to LET GO of the habit beyond a particular time frame. Persistent teen sex fantasies combined with porn watching and masturbation is SURE SHOT DISASTER RECIPE. Furthermore, now their are recent studies with supportive evidence pointing out that masturbation as a habit can lead to masturbation addiction, porn addiction and other aberrant practices. Furthermore, the overall sexual satisfaction scores derived from masturbation is very very less compared to penetrative sexual intercourse with a partner. So, how many times masturbation can be done in day? Well, Sorry to disappoint you folks. I personally cannot recommend masturbation at all. The only exception to the rule is that, suppose you are all alone (by choice) masturbation very occasionally to release sexual tension may be done. Once again, I believe this is a better sexual outlet versus having casual sex with unknown individuals. Since their is a very real risk of sexually transmitted disease. Masturbation done very occasionally may help reduce the risk of STD infection and other high risk sexual behavior. Furthermore, with practice you can slowly change and quit the masturbatory habit by keeping your mind busy with other activities. It definitely helps in the long run. Subscribe to our Newsletter It’s a very stupid thing to state that ‘its okay to masturbate 5 times per week or even 1 or 2 times per day’. I have very heard many eminent doctors speak this (very sad indeed). Try to avoid masturbation, in my experience as a andrologist and sexologist, I have met close to 9000 patients who have clearly stated they feel quite disgusted with masturbation. Over 85 to 90 percent of patients do not feel good in anyway masturbating. Moreover, in some instances some of these patients go so far wreck their stable relationships because of this behavior. To further elaborate when you masturbate, from a neurological perspective you are conditioning your brain to sexually explicit content and porn. You will never get the arousal you get from porn from penetrative intercourse with your partner. So frequently or how many times masturbation can be done in day? At best 1 or 2 times per month, if you cant keep a check on your desires. I do not personally recommend masturbation as a primary sexual outlet behavior.

How frequently should you have Sex to get pregnant?
Men’s Health Blogs How frequently should you have Sex to get pregnant? Hello dear friends! In this short post I am going to answer ‘a fairly simple yet common question’. How frequently should you have sex to get pregnant? or better yet, if you are trying for a child ‘what is the frequency of sexual intercourse required to achieve a pregnancy?’ The answer to this question is fairly straightforward. Its about 3 times per week. In an original study done by Macleod et al, he and his team of researchers analyzed the chances of pregnancy or natural conceptions with respect to sexual intercourse frequency. The study presents interesting findings. You can watch the video below, it wont take more than 1 minute of your time! The chances of pregnancy was highest during first 6 to 8 months post marriages. So say you are married and you have sex 3 times per week, between the 6th to 8 month, their is a SOLID 65 to 80 percent chance of getting your partner pregnant. However, remember, that this number does not apply to couples where the female partner has irregular cycles or other associated health conditions.

Book a Call Book a Call Moreover, when the frequency of intercourse reduces to about less than 3 times/week to about say 2 times/week, the likelihood of spontaneous pregnancies also reduces. For frequencies in the range of 1/week, the chances of pregnancy in the 1st year of marriage is very very low. So, is their any real or actual benefit of having intercourse more than 3 times/week? What if you have sex on a daily basis? Does it improve the chances of pregnancy? The answer is NO. Apart from the FUN aspect, it really does not improve the chances of conception. To further elaborate, most couples tend to overindulge in sex post marriage, this sometimes can turn counterproductive, so I would personally never recommend couples to go MAD over each other (over sex of course). Jokes apart, be gentle and kind to one another, intimacy and sex is very important in any marriage. Enjoy and frequent intercourse as and when necessary. Lastly to summarize if the goal is only a child, then targeting intercourse to 3 per week is ideal. Nothing more and nothing less. Subscribe to our Newsletter Do not ever stress over targeting intercourse specifically to ovulation days (usually a 6 day window). This becomes unhealthy in the long run and its best to avoid it at all cost. I hope you liked reading this short blog post on ‘how frequently should you have sex to get pregnant’.

Prone Masturbation – Why it’s the ONE thing you must avoid?
Men’s Health Blogs Prone Masturbation – Why it’s the ONE thing you must avoid? Its ill effects and why you should abstain from it? Vanakkam, Namaste and welcome to Dr Shahs Clinic, in this short post we are going to briefly discuss on prone masturbation and why you should avoid doing prone masturbation. As a practicing andrologist in chennai, I see on an average at-least 1 person/day who is addicted to prone masturbation. Its saddening to see that this specific behavior being wide spread, since it wrecks havoc on both the mind and body. You can also watch the video below, if you feel a bit down. Watch it till the end of course Now, an important point to bear here in your mind is how this process of prone masturbation develops and why do individuals basically rub their organ in the bed or rub their penis on the floor? and why do they get desire out of it?. Why does it happen & how?, that’s what we’re going to see in this blog and why should you avoid doing it at all costs?, is something we’re going to address here as well. So, prone masturbation actually develops when the man or boy or the guy is very young, like somewhere around 13 to 15 years of age when the individual enters puberty. Basically, the individual has wet dreams or sexual dreams and is exposed to sexual materials in peer groups or other sexual content. Consequently, what happens is in the night is that when he is sleeping or when he is half drowsy or half sleepy, the individual basically rubs their organ on the pillow or on the bed sheet or on the mattress and usually they have/achieve their 1st ejaculation. So, eventually with the ejaculation, there is a trigger of desire that happens in the brain and, neurologically, the brain registers it and it becomes a habit or a practice. A certain reward gets associated with the behavior. amplifying the habit. Consequently, for a couple of few nights afterwards, the boy or individual continues it and then they start experimenting and exploring their own bodies. They then go on the floor and rub their organ. Sometimes they will go lie down on the bathroom floor and rub their organ. And in some other times some individuals will even rub their organ against the sink. To better explain the the hard fiction of rubbing stimulates what’s called the root of the penis The root of the penis is where the organ is attached to the body. The hard rubbing action eventually makes the root of the penis more sensitive compared to the body of the organ. This makes rubbing the root or penis base more desirable for the individual. Thus forming a vicious cycle and eventually a regular habit. Dr. Shah Dupesh Consultant Andrologist & Sexologist Ready to improve your Reproductive Health? Discuss your concerns in a private setting and get personalized guidance tailored to your needs. Book a Call Book a Call Prone masturbation is not something normal and should NOT be encouraged. In conventional masturbation or conventional sexual intercourse, it is not the root of the penis that is stimulated. Instead, it is the tip and the mid third of the organ that is usually stimulated, so there is a big difference in the way the organ is stimulated and what happens with prone masturbation as compared to normal intercourse. What’s going to happen here eventually is that the tip and the mid shaft of the organ are not going to be as sensitive as the root. To better understand These regions become hypo-sensitive while the root becomes hypersensitive because of this. What’s going to happen is during penetrative sex, when these individuals become adults. When they have sexual intercourse with their partners, they suffer from delayed ejaculation or an-ejaculation, which means the semen is not at all going to come out unless or until they lie down on the floor and RUB their organ or they use their hand to severely and forcibly bring out the semen. Furthermore, because of this ejaculation issues, the relationship with their partner frequently breakdown because the individuals are addicted to prone masturbation behavior. They know there’s something wrong with them. They have not adjusted over many years and they cannot tell this to their partners and their relationships are going to break up and their partners’ delayed ejaculation is going to result in erectile dysfunction. In the long run, prone masturbation leads to three things. 1. Delayed ejaculation, 2. Erectile dysfunction and 3. The development of prone-masturbatory behavior can also lead to a form of addiction. Subscribe to our Newsletter So, the individuals who engage in prone masturbation become addicted to it and they engage only in that kind of sexual behavior. They avoid all forms of sexual intercourse with their partners. Some individuals will engage in prone masturbation and they will try sexual intercourse, but they will not be able to satisfy their partners. If they are able to satisfy their partners, they will not be able to satisfy themselves because they won’t get an ejaculation during penetrative sex because of the difference in the sensitivity between the root and the midshaft and the tip of the organ. So should you do prone masturbation? In one word NO, you have to avoid being prone masturbation. If you’re doing prone masturbation today, stop right now and you seek professional help to come out of this particular prone masturbation habit. Basically, behavioral therapy, psycho-sexual therapy with medications and counseling can help you come out of prone masturbation behavior. I hope you enjoyed reading this short blog post.
