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 28 and can't retract my foreskin when erect, plus it's painful when I try. Is this phimosis or paraphimosis? Are there non-surgical treatments or should I consider surgery? Is surgery safe at my age or are there side effects I should know about? I'm really concerned about this.
It's likely you have phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract. This can cause pain, especially during erections or attempts to retract the foreskin. Non-surgical treatments like steroid creams or exercises can help, but surgery (circumcision) might be necessary for severe or persistent phimosis. Surgery is generally safe and can be effective at relieving symptoms and preventing complications
