Dear Betty and Carlin,
Dear Dr. Betty,
When my girlfriend is giving me oral sex, she likes to place the pad of her thumb between my testicles and anus. If she feels me throbb and knows I'm about to cum, she'll push hard with her thumb there and squeeze the base of my penis with her other hand (index finger and thumb). She does this so I don't ejaculate into her mouth. Is it safe for her to do this to me? Where does the cum backwash go?
Dear JP,
Dear Dr. Betty,
What do American men have in common with Middle Eastern and Tribal African men? All three societies routinely perform circumcision on boys while the rest of the world does not. In the United States, we circumcise babies within the first few days or week. Muslims do it to young boys who are between 12 and 15 while African boys are between 6 to 10 years of age. In all three instances circumcision is performed without anesthesia!
