Query on circumcision and lubricants

Question. I am a 30-year-old man married to a 27-year-old woman three months ago. We had unprotected sex recently. During the act my foreskin rolled back a little and the light pinkish head of the penis appeared. Because of this we have been unable to enjoy intercourse. What do you recommend? Should I go for a circumcision? What are the precautions to take after I do it? Also, we would be having sex after almost a month. Can you suggest any lubricants? Is saliva okay?

Answer. What you see after the foreskin slips back is the head of the penis. It can be quite sensitive and be uncomfortable for a while. With time, pleasure will take over. Use Climax spray for a few days. Saliva is a good lubricant.

Does Copper T decrease sexual desire?

Question. I am 30 years old. I got married five years back. Earlier, a sexual act lasting for 30 minutes was enough to satisfy me. However, these days, even 60 to 90 minutes doesn’t suffice. We indulge in adequate foreplay. I have been using Copper T for last three years. Is it responsible for my problem?

Answer. Copper T is not known to decrease desire. There must be another reason. Try to identify and correct it. Take an extended holiday. Relive your romance. Request your husband to increase the foreplay duration till you reach an orgasm. He should enter after that. If he finishes early, you may continue stimulation of genitals till you reach a second orgasm, or even a third.
