A member asked:

Could i have contracted molluscum (on inner thighs) not via sexual activity? i've been married for 6 yrs and husband has no signs. no other partners.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: This is usually non-sexual. You or your husband may have been touched by a person with an active lesion -- perhaps a child -- and carried the virus on your hands.

I have been married for a year now. During sexual intercourse, my husband prefers me being on top. I would like to know whether this could have affected my chances of becoming pregnant. Is it necessary that the male partner be on top to ensure conception?
