Can I use coconut parachute oil as a lubricant for masturbation? Is it safe, or are there any side effects I should be aware of? Also, are there any other oils that might be better?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Coconut oil, including parachute coconut oil, can be used as a lubricant, as it's generally safe for external use. However, it may cause irritation or disrupt the natural balance of vaginal flora for some people. It's important to test it on a small area of skin first, and if you experience discomfort, consider using a water-based lubricant specifically designed for intimate use.

I'm experiencing night falls most days of the month, and it's making me feel weak and causing a lot of issues in my life. I'm really anxious about my future performance because of this. I haven't talked to anyone about it because I feel guilty and kind of scared. What can I do about this?
Night falls, also known as nocturnal emissions, are a common occurrence in men and can lead to feelings of weakness and guilt. To address this issue, you can try taking Tab. Himalaya Confido 1 tablet twice daily for 1 month. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques before bed, such as deep breathing or meditation, may help reduce the frequency of night falls. It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet to support overall well-being.

I'm getting married soon, and I'm really worried about my first night because I don't want to let her down. I'm wondering if I can buy Viagra without a prescription here in India. If that's not possible, is there a way to get an online prescription for it?
In India, Viagra (sildenafil) is a prescription-only medication, so you cannot legally buy it without a prescription. It's important to consult a doctor to ensure it's safe for you, as they can assess your health and recommend appropriate treatment. If necessary, online consultations may offer prescriptions, but always prioritize your health and well-being.
