Earlier this week the
BBC noted the results of a recent study suggesting that premature ejaculation, long thought to be a psychological disorder, may actually be genetic.
According to the article, the men in the study who suffered from premature ejaculation had a variation of the gene that regulates
serotonin levels — the hormone that controls, among other things, mood, appetite, and the speed at which ejaculation occurs.
And while this information will eventually help researchers create an effective treatment, for now there is no medication, leaving many couples searching for solutions to something that is often a serious detriment to a satisfying sex life.

Dear Sugar and Wanting a Neater Option Omalee needs your help. How do you deal with the mess after sex?
Dear Sugar,
I usually use condoms with my boyfriend, but now that we've both been tested and I'm on the pill, we've had some issues with...er...spillage after he ejaculates.

A while ago, I answered a question about a woman who was dating a
guy who lost both of his testicles in a car accident. It wasn't clear if this man could have an erection or an orgasm, but that post brought up many questions about orgasms and how it's possible to have one if you don't have any semen.
Here's the deal.

Dear Sugar,
I'm troubled by my sexual relationship with my boyfriend. I love him very much and he tells me he loves me too. Everything in our relationship is great except there are times when he doesn't ejaculate during sex.

Being in a monogamous sexual relationship can be one of life's greatest pleasures, especially when you have both been tested for
STIs and you know that you are disease-free. That means you don't have to use condoms when you have sex, but you do need to use another form of birth control if you don't want to get pregnant.
It's been brought to my attention that some couples are using the
Pull and Pray Method, also known as Withdrawal.
