I've seen lots of questions and answers on these sorts of pages where the man is asking about having a tight foreskin and whether to get it snipped off - so to speak. However my situation is different.

I have for as long as I have been sexually active had a long, loose and rather annoying f'skin that rolls back and forth over my glans - good for 'solo work' but definitely not whilst having sex.

This I can just about cope with - although a bit of a nuisance - when not using a condom. But when using one, which is me and my wife's preferred method, its just a bloody nuisance and rather reduces my excitability!

Question is should I just carry on putting up with it - I am afterall in my mid-40s - does anyone have any (sensible) suggestions - or should I get cut - which given my age, will probably cause quite a lot of discomfort - and may take a little explaining to family and work ...!

Suggestions, thoughts etc gratefully received

Over the summer, my friend was wearing a bikini and I realized she looked skinnier than usual. Yesterday she was wearing a bikini to swim practice and her ribs were sticking out, and she looked disgustingly skinny. I asked her how she lost so much weight, but she said diet and exercise, she used to weigh 105 pounds, at 5"2, and now she's 70 pounds, at 5"2. I don' t know what to do. (She's 13 and a girl). Also she slept over me on Monday, and she wouldn't eat a thing at dinner, and she doesn't eat at lunch either. I'm really scared about her, so I told her mother, and she told me she knew, and she tried to make her eat, but it didn't work. Today we were going out to lunch, me, her, and a couple of other friends, and her mother told me to try to convince her to eat, I tried but it didn't work, I don't know what to do.
Her mother is thinking of taking her to a hospital.
Do you have any ideas?, and she thinks she's fat when she's really a bone.

Is there anything I should know about having sex with my girlfriend while she's in her period? Besides the fact that it's messy? And yes, we wear protection, and no, we don't need a lecture about sex. I just want to know if there are any dangers besides getting pregnant or getting messy.

I have been a regular blood donor for 18 years but I have never given platelets. Has anyone here ever done so? If so, would you do it again? Is there any reason not to?

I took a urine drug test this Wednesday for pre-employment. I smoked a few hits (3 or 4) of marijuana on October 29th at like 7 in the morning. I'm 5'4, 120 pounds with a fast metabolism, so I figured that 16 days should be enough to pass the drug test. I didn't take any detox drinks, cranberry pills, etc. I usually drink 8 the suggested 8 cups of water a day, it's just a habit and I didn't do it primarily to dilute the test or whatever. After I peed into the cup, I noticed that my pee was pretty clear..can they really hold that against you? I mean, drinking water is normal...how much water would you have to drink for them to consider your sample not valid? And how long does it usually take to get results back? My (hopefully) employer said that they would call when they get the results back about the job, and I'm wondering how long that should take?

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ANSWERS that say "drugs are stupid", etc. I'm looking for serious answers

I am pretty sure my body is in starvation metabolism. I eat 700-800 cal a day and have been doing so for the past 3 months. I eat 5 small meals a day and exercise 5 times a week, both through cardio-running and also weight training. I have gone from 130-110 lbs since I started dieting. I am 5'1. Can someone tell me how to get out of starvation metabolism (if I am in it) and how to do so without gaining my weight back? I am still losing at a slow rate but I dont feel tired or all since I am eating often, just can never seem to go above 1000 cal! (or 800 even!)

i'm really scared to tell my parents and.. well really anyone.
alot of people always ask me if i eat healthly and sometimes if i even eat at all.

and when i watch movies and other television shows I get sick because all I want is to be skinny like the girls on those shows, or in those movies, or like the girls who model profressionally.
I just don't know what to do
everything I've tried doesnt work, or I either just give up.

I have not been doing any exersize and don't drink or do any drugs.
When I sleep at night and sometimes during the day I get severe cramps in my legs from the groin on down. Sometimes in my hands as well. My large leg muscles jump as it the're having an electrical shock. I am at a loss as who go to. I have been told to see a Rhuematologist. But I don't see the connection. Any and all suggestions are welcome. I also feel as if I have been doing a running marathon. I keep running out of energy during the day. I also take vitamin B complex and vitamin E.
