She was so soft spoken on the phone that I had to ask her to speak up several times. Badu told me she was an African woman from Kenya who had been circumcised. Two years ago, she began looking for information to understand what had been done to her as a ten year-old child. She came across my name online and made the call.






Will a Threesome Save My Marriage?

Hello Betty,
How Can You "Begin" Sexually Without an Emotional Connection?

Dear Dr. Betty,
Is Anal Penetration For a Guy Similar to Vaginal Penetration For a Woman?

Dear Betty--
I have a question I'm hoping you can answer. I have always been a heterosexual male, but I have also always been curious about what the sexual experience is like for a woman. Obviously, some acts are identical--manual stimulation, oral sex, and (passive) anal intercourse are available to both. However, vaginal intercourse is not. So one must be contented with anal intercourse.

Dear JC,
Is There Sex After a Stroke?

Hello:
I have been admiring your site for years, but when I got the nerve to ask one of many hard questions for my wife's stroke she had in september of 2008. My question is if a woman has had a CVA or stroke, what happened to her sexuality? Since she has been home we have tried many times to have sex, but she does come close to enjoying like she did before.
Do Large Labia Run in Families?

Dear Dr. Betty,
Is the size/ shape of a woman's labia genetically linked? i.e. If a woman has large Labia does that mean her mom/ sister's are likely to have the same? Do things like sexual intercourse, masturbation, Child berth contribute to "Large" labia?
Dear J,
Good question.
How Can I Recreate the Ecstasy of Pregnant Sex?

Dear Dr. Betty,
Why is it that my sex life becomes so much more physically satisfying when I'm pregnant? My breasts actually become erogenous zones that I want my husband to play with and I enjoy really strong, powerful, intense, wonderful, screaming orgasms! (Lucky me!) This is my fourth baby, and we are done! How do I recreate these physical conditions/sensations after I deliver?
I'd really like to keep this intensity and physical enjoyment. Note: Non-pregnant sex is wonderful, but pregnant sex is just soooooo much better.
Thanks!

Boyfriend Struggles to Orgasm & Loses Erection

Dear Doctor Betty,
What are My Boyfriend's Chances of Contracting Herpes If I Have No Sign of an Outbreak?

Hi!
I was diagnosed about a year ago with herpes simplex 2 virus! I recently started dating someone who knows i have herpes and during our first time together decided not to wear a condom and to perform oral sex without a Dental dam.
I have only had that first initial outbreak and nothing ever since, what are his chances of contracting the virus even if i had no signs of an outbreak? Is it safe to keep having unprotected sex?

Dear S,
Is It Normal to Have Tiny Bumps on Your Labia?

Dear Dr. Betty,
My labia has some ridges and some tiny bumps, at first I thought I had genital warts but I got a pap smear and I was ok, I was still worried so i went to visit the doctor and he said it was just the folds of my skin and I was ok. He gave me antibiotics and told me to stop worrying but all i think about is these tiny glands and I get super paranoid. What should i do? is it normal to have those tiny glands?
Dear L,
