Question 1

how can i stop from going to strip clubs while on business travel?  always feel guilty. wife knows i have gone before and never got mad at me.

Accepted Answer

Threat to marriage: If you want to stop a behavior consider going to a therapist such as a clinical psychologist for support.  Also read about the 12 step process that has been so helpful to people who manage their drug, alcohol, or inappropriate sexual behaviors.  Your wife may be OK w/your behavior now but this may wear thin eventually.  Congrats on working on this issue.  Peace and good health.

Question 2

what is an effective way to lower or stop an anxiety attack that occurs just prior to a business presentation(large group)where i am the main speaker?

Accepted Answer

Cognitive behavior: This set up is a perfect example of where to use cognitive behavior therapy techniques. Try to find someone in your area that teaches them to you. It will take 2-3 sessions only!

Question 3

i am 3rd tri preg. dr n nurses pressuring me to breastfeed. i will not. why won't they stop? not their business

Accepted Answer

Your choice: i am sure you have heard all the pros but it is not for you. Make it clear that it is your decision. All the best.

Question 4

i have a lawncare business and spend many many hours outside in the sun. however i am starting accutane. do i need to stop my work? consider heavier sunscreens? how to prevent excessive sunburn?

Accepted Answer

: Much too complex, and too many variables from one person to another, for a safe or accurate reply on a forum like this. You probably are in the care of a dermatologist; if not, find one and follow that doctor's advice. Good luck.

Question 5

what is the chance of catching aids at a strip club, if you keep your pants on?

Accepted Answer

Low: The virus that causes aids is spread through exchange body fluids. High risk ways of transmitting the virus are unprotected sex and sharing needles for injecting drugs. You didn't mention exactly what happened in the strip club, but intact skin to skin contact is very low risk for transmitting the virus.

Question 6

ears will not stop ringing after club. what do i need to do?

Accepted Answer

Turn the volume down: That ringing is telling you that you are damaging your ears. If the damage occurs for a long enough period of time that ringing will become permanent. You'll also have hearing loss and most likely end up with hearing aids.

Question 7

i feel depressed. i think it comes from being lonely. ive never felt this damaged until months ago. i try to engage in club meetings, but with covid not much is available. sometimes i get thoughts on hurting myself, but i stop. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

SEEK TREATMENT: Tough times now with the pandemic and the isolation. I would suggest that you consider getting into therapy and seeing if you have the disease of depression needing treatment. Very concerning when you have thoughts of self harm.

Question 8

a stripper spat on my penis during a handjob at a strip club. i am not sure if she had blood on her saliva. is there a risk of hiv?

Accepted Answer

No risk, no worry: HIV is not transmitted by saliva. In fact, saliva kills the virus (which is one reason oral sex carries little or no risk), so there would be no risk even if blood also were present.

Question 9

if i go to a strip club and do all or some of the following:
kiss the strippers stomach
kiss the strippers lips
french kiss the stripper
perform oral sex to the stripper
if i perform any of those actions will i have any health issues later on?

Accepted Answer

Sure, but...: It depends on the 50 other customers you are sharing saliva with. Assuming all customers do the same stripper-kissing and stripper-licking, and assuming you are not the first in line but #51, you get to lick the same places the other 50 have licked. Basically, a person who worries about stuff like that shouldn't go kissing and licking strippers. Some people never worry about stuff like that.

Question 10

can you get hiv from a strip club (dancers dancing on me) i was fully clothed and they were too.? any hiv risks ?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Unless you and the dancer both had open wounds, your risk is nil.
