ASK THE SEXPERT
DR MAHINDER WATSA

1 I am a 26-year-old. I smoke occasionally and I’ll be getting married next month. I feel that my penis is smaller than what I have seen in porn films. I am worried I won't be able to satisfy my wife. I have read that smoking reduces penis size. Is this true?

The size of the penis has no relation to smoking. But cigarettes contain nicotine, which is harmful for the body; hence it is wise for you to stop. You should visit a sexpert to discuss not only the size of your penis, but other matters that will improve your married life. To enhance your knowledge on the subject, you may refer to the book, It’s Normal.

2 I am a 22-year-old woman. I’ve been married for the last three months but we haven't had sex as I fear the act would be painful. How can I overcome my fear?

You should have no fear as the vagina is made up of elastic tissue which can expand to allow the penis to enter. Apply loc 2% gel around the vaginal opening and a quarter of a finger inside the vagina. Then wait for 15 minutes and wipe of the excess. To convince yourself that there will be no pain, insert your finger and also ask your husband to do the same. Any pain that you had felt earlier is no more than what you feel during menstruation.
