Q: Doctor! I enjoy your replies to people’s medical challenges. Mine is a bit troublesome because it makes me not to enjoy sex. The challenge I am facing now is that whenever I have sex, I always have an injury in form of a cut on my penis despite the fact that my partner’s sex organ is always wet with her secretions. After a while the injury will heal but whenever I have sex again, it will re-surface. I had an STI test done when I first noticed it last year but no disease was found. I’m really worried. What should I do? Is there any remedy for this? Please its urgent

A: Dear sir, sorry to know you are going through this. Sex is meant to be enjoyed by both consenting parties, and when that’s not the case it can be very disheartening. From what you’ve described it seems that the method or style of intercourse may be the predisposing factor here.

I would advise you talk with your partner first and get her opinion on how she sees your method /style. Next try to use a more subtle approach . The wear and tear of vigorous exercise on the muscles of the limbs may also explain what you are experiencing.

Also, it may be a good idea to go for a venereal disease screening (to check if you have any sexually transmitted infection) including an HIV test.

More importantly, speak to your mind. You don’t need to be anxious when you want to enjoy yourself (if it’s legitimate)…take it one step at a time and ENJOY!
