    The sex went fine. But now I've got this nasty itchy rash. Well, this could be a number of things. Most likely is that you're mildly allergic to either the condoms or the lube. It's less likely, but still possible, that you're allergic to some...

    The first date was OK, but not all that great, and I didn't want to go out with her again. But now I'm getting all these emails and phone messages... At some point—and it sounds like it might be pretty soon—this sort of behavior will go...

    Owowowowowow! Vaginal penetration hurts me! This condition is called dyspareunia, which means "painful intercourse." An old doctor's joke has it that "dyspareunia is better than no pareunia at all," which has one of your authors...

    I'm pregnant, but I'm not sure who the father is. You're definitely not alone: DNA studies by paternity labs across the U.S. show that at least 10% of kids are not the child of the man officially recognized as their father. Nonetheless, it's a good...

    Rrahhharraharrgh. [Translation: I was going down on my girlfriend and my jaw went out of joint.] This is a pretty unusual situation, but it has been known to happen. Don't try to push the jaw closed—the jaw joint is a delicate one and you don'...
