Question 1

how can i check my sexual potency without necessarily having sex?

Accepted Answer

Masturbation: You can check this at anytime by masturbating. I don't know what the cultural beliefs are in ghana regarding this, but it is medically perfectly normal. Best wishes.

Question 2

does the consumption of sugar and sweets reduce male potency sexually?

Accepted Answer

If you get fat: We all tend to over-eat refined sugar and sugar-laced pop. If we get fat, we don't look as good and the fat from the hormones may slow us down romantically. That's really all that anybody knows. If you're lean and athletic, a little candy or pop's not going to make you a romantic cripple. Good luck.

Question 5

how long do i need to take valtrex to prevent herpes transmission to my partner? basically how long after i start medication will the risk he reduced? i dont plan on taking it daily, only during sexually active periods?

Accepted Answer

Herpes suppression: Assuming you have genital herpes due to HSV2 and if say 1-2 weeks between sexually active periods, intermittent treatment is fine. Start valacyclovir (Valtrex) at least a day and preferably 2 days before sex. Taking it intermittently rather than continously, use 1 g daily, not 500 mg.  If "sexually active periods" only a few days apart, you may as well take it continuously, which is harmless.

Question 9
