He wants to marry me, as soon as his Mexican divorce comes through. And I must say that the idea is quite appealing!

However, doc ... in bed, he wants me to do the strangest thing. Please do not be shocked, but during sexual intercourse he wants each of us to put a forefinger (index finger) into each other's bottom.

In actual fact, once I got used to him stimulating me in this way, I found it quite pleasant. But I am still fretting. Does this indicate that he is 'kinky?' And does the fact that he wants me to put me finger in his 'rear' mean that he is secretly homosexual?

The practice you describe is extremely common in some countries, notably the US of A and England. In France, a survey suggested that 40 per cent of young couples do it. It even has a name: 'postillionage.'

But why on earth should people do such a seemingly odd thing? The reason is that it is a medical fact that there are 'erotic' nerves in the bottom, and that it is very easy to stimulate them with the fingertips. This usually creates a pleasant feeling. Also, quite a lot of women use this method to stimulate the man's prostate gland - which is located a couple of inches up the rectum.

Now, I do NOT recommend this 'postillionage' technique to my patients. Why? Simply because of the fact that the rectum is an area of the body that is full of GERMS.

So if you go in for this activity, it is inevitable that you will get germs on the tip of your finger. And it is real easy to transfer these germs to other parts of the body. I have known cases in which a guy puts his finger in the woman's bottom, and then touches her vagina - the result being that she gets a urinary infection.

Of course, there are ways of beating this problem - for instance, washing your hands immediately after giving your partner postillionage. But it remains a slightly risky activity. However, in answer to your final question, I can assure you that if a guy likes this kind of 'bottom play' with ladies, it certainly does NOT mean that he is homosexual.

Sadly, this is indeed true. Researchers are now saying that persons' WAIST measurement ought to be no more than half their HEIGHT. If your belly is bigger than that, you should slim down.

This is a common misunderstanding among young girls. The months of the calendar are of different lengths, so you cannot possibly expect your menses to arrive on the same date of every month. Furthermore, most women's periods are 26 to 28 days apart -; which is considerably shorter than the calendar month.

The likeliest reason is some kind of little wart inside the pipe that runs through your organ. But you must see a doc for an examination right away.

No! Most people with high blood pressure feel OK. But generally, they need to take pills for the rest of their lives to keep the pressure down. Other good measures include avoiding getting fat, cutting down on salt, and refraining from smoking. Also, do not overindulge in alcohol.
