I ejaculate too soon

Question: 

Dear Auntie Nangy,
I am a 17-year-old guy and my problem is that when I have sex with a girl I release sperm so fast. What is wrong with me?

Answer: 

You have a condition called premature ejaculation that afflicts many men. Both psychological and biological factors can play a role and although many men feel embarrassed to talk about it, premature ejaculation is a common and treatable condition. The exact cause of premature ejaculation isn’t known but it involves a complex interaction of both psychological and biological factors. Psychological causes may be because of early sexual experiences that may establish a pattern that can be difficult to change, like situations in which you may have had to hurry to reach climax in order to avoid being discovered or even guilty feelings about having sex.
Biological factors may be abnormal hormone or brain chemical levels, thyroid problems, inflammation and infection of the prostate or urethra or inherited traits. You are young and it may just be inexperience and haste that makes you ejaculate quickly.
You should take some time to just take it easy and get
to know your partner’s and your own body better. You can also try the squeeze technique to help you delay ejaculation. Begin sexual activity as usual, including stimulation of the penis, until you feel almost ready to ejaculate.
Then have your partner squeeze the end of your penis where the head joins the shaft for several seconds until the urge to ejaculate passes and wait for about 30 seconds before going back to foreplay. Repeat this process as many times as necessary until you can enter your partner without ejaculating. After a few practice sessions it may teach you how to delay orgasm without the need to use the squeeze technique. There is also medication available to help with premature ejaculation so it might be a good idea for your first step to be to see a doctor.

Is being a lesbian unhealthy?

Question: 

Dear Auntie Nangy,
I am a girl of 13 and I would like you to give some information on being a lesbian. Is it threatening to a person’s health? And is it embarrassing to be one?

Answer: 

No, it is not threatening to a person’s health and it is not something to be embarrassed about and it is also not something that a 13-year-old girl should be too curious about as you might get some wrong information on a subject that you will know about in due time. Take care.

They think they are grown up

Question: 

Dear Auntie Nangy,
I am a 13-year-old girl and I want to know how I can talk to my friends. They are so talkative and they always fail tests but then they blame each other. When I say anything they just tell me they are grown up and they know what they are doing. Please tell me how to advise them Auntie.

Answer: 

Let’s face it, at the age of thirteen, girls think they have all the knowledge in the universe at their fingertips and in fact think they know more about anything than any adult will ever know. The fact that you actually seem to think more
than you talk will have no effect on them, so I suggest you just keep to yourself and wait for that day in the very near future when they will realise that they know only as much as a thirteen-year old is supposed to know. Don’t worry, they will grow up eventually.

I am deeply in love with him

Question: 

Dear Auntie Nangy,
I am 12 years old and I have strong feelings for a 21-year-old guy. When this person is happy I’m overjoyed, he makes me laugh, cry and shiver just by the mention of his name. But he doesn’t know I feel like this. Do I love him? And how can I get over him?

Answer: 

You are very young and this kind of adoration a child feels for an adult happens sometimes but it is very important that you realise it is not love and it is a feeling that will pass quickly. Don’t act on this feeling by letting him know how
you feel, but keep it to yourself. Realise that he is an adult and that he sees you as a child and that you don’t need to “get over him”, just be yourself and see the situation in a realistic way and soon a wonderful boy of your own age will make you feel like this.

I absolutely loathe men

Question: 

Dear Aunty Nangy,
I’m a single mother of one child. I raised her on my own. I don’t even like my sister’s boyfriend because I believe all men are the same.
I can’t seem to get over the anger I have for my baby’s father. I can’t date because I’m afraid of going through the same thing again. Please help!

Answer: 

I can understand your anger but you have to take control of your feelings.
You don’t say how old you are or what exactly the father of your child did beside make you pregnant against your will (it seems).

Also remember it takes two to make a baby so you share an equal part of the responsibility.

You have to control this bitterness because it will in time affect your health and the emotional wellbeing of your child.

Call Lifeline/Childline right now.

Remember, you can not hate men in general because of one man doing you wrong.
