this is not a joke question so please don't write and say i'm being mean ... i truly want to know ... on Sunday i helped a young girl on the bus who is blind ... i noticed that she was squinting like when you walk out into bright sunlight from a darkened room ... i had noticed this before when a blind person is not wearing dark glasses ... are blind people hyper sensitive to light and squint because any light bothers them???

I started having sex recently with my girlfriend. The day after the first time, I felt a slight burning inside my penis, it is a constant feeling. It doesnt hurt. I just want to know if it could be something other than an STD like excessive friction, not enough moisture, ie dry humping, irritation from say baby oil. If it is an STD, which one is it likely? And what would be symptoms that follow this burning feeling? Anything visual?

A guy at work had it and I was wondering, especially since I work at a library and we are always handing stuff to each other and running into each other's departments looking for things. I would really hate to catch it...

I had Lasik refractive surgery one week ago to correct my far-sightedness. I now find I need to sit closer than normal to the computer screen with the over-the-counter reading specs I purchased. Does that suggest I need a stronger or weaker pair? Until my vision settles in (a few more months), it is suggested I don't invest in a proper Rx pair of glasses.

Or should I simply push the monitor (computer screen) further back?

I'd ask my ophthalmologist, but I'd like an answer sooner than later. Thanks...

I am 18 years old and I have had cold sores now off and on for the last 8 years. I would maybe get 1-2 a year on my lips. I got a cold sore about 6 months ago and it doesnt want to go away. It will heal about 85% then come back. I went to the doctor and he put me on valtrax and it is working a little but the cold sore is not completely going away. I have tried abreva and zovirax. I take lysine, zinc, B complex. and a multi vitamin. Does any one have any other suggestions on something I can do. PLEASE help me!

I know it is a weird question. But I have always heard that most guys can't maintain an erection and have intercourse if they are really drunk. Is this true?

do u prefer boxerbreifs, boxers or going commando?
Im 17 and in a bit of a dilema, see boxerbriefs give u a wedgie which i find irratable, and the restrict the movemet of ur package which i also dislike, boxers begin to ride up and also give u a bit of a restricted feeling, and freebalin seems a bit odd, because i have sisters around the house and my package becomes evidnet because of the hanging penis pushing across the pants forming a revealing crease no matter the size of the pants.

for some reason i just cant figure this out

so what do u guys recommend.?

this problem of mine probably seems really minor to some, but to me, it's not. i'm hoping someone with a similar experience can help or somebody who has some advice please!

sometimes when I go in stores or walk in a place, I start feeling a little afraid...of how i look to other people, how my expression is, if i look weird or funny to them, or if my face is red. i know strange huh?

i think this might stem from when one of my "friends" from school made a comment to me, "why are you smiling? you always smile."

how can i learn not to worry when i walk in a store or afraid of how i look to people?

thanks!

I don't like myself at all. I don't know where I'm going with my life. I'm extremely depressed. Now ive gotten to the point where I don't even want to be happy anymore. The only reason that I want to get up every morning and go to school is because of a girl that I like. She likes me, but nothings happening. I'm not really good at anything. My grades f**king suck. I hate myself. I don't really know why anyone likes me. I want to kill myself, it seems that only then will anyone truly appreciate me. I know I'm depressed. I'm scared to talk to anyone about it. I hate talking to my family, so I can't talk to them. Everytime I feel sorry for myself I think about all the kids who have it much worse than I do, but then I feel like an a$$hole for pitying myself, which lowers my self esteem more. I need help.

would she know for sure by now?
If a women who is 42 and had her tubes tied 17 years ago had sex in August and has had 3 normal periods since, pretty well know for sure that she is not pregnant?

Also she took a home test just to get me to leave her alone in september which was negative.

Is it safe to say this lady isnt going to have my baby?

Is it 100% positive that she didnt get pregnant?

I've been having social anxiety disorder for about 2 years now, and it keeps getting worse. The worst symptom is head trembling when people are around. Luckily, I found out in a SA forum that a lot of people had this symptom too. But mine is pretty diffrent from theirs in that people seem uncomfortable after they see me tremble my head. I can see that because they try to avoid eye contacts with me. They also cough or clear throat a lot and clumsily. I hear people cough so often that the sound of cough now makes me so crazy. Everytime I hear it, my heart feels shocked and I get so mad because it is so annoying! I already attempted suicide once because of this and don't know when that will happen again. I'm of course aware that people cough not always because of me but for other reasons, but I just know coughing also means people feel uncomfortable! Is anyone with SA+head trembling in the same situation? (Don't tell me anything about treatment or that I'm wrong. What I need is sympathy.)

I've had mild toothache(s) for the past couple days. Doesn't really bother me much, just feels kind of weird. Doesn't bother me to eat at all, even sweets and cold stuff. Thing is, I can feel it on both sides of my mouth, almost like the same tooth but opposite sides. When I clench my teeth together, I wouldn't say it hurts, I just feel the weird feeling more. Any idea what it could be?
