The Clinic ~ Ask me anything, I'm a nurse.

Not to trivialize your answer but the first thought that hit me was "Damn, sperm really is nutritious"...lol

We now return you to your regularly scheduled broadcast. Great thread idea fm, keep up the good work.

Lots of nutritional value, I hear it makes a good emollient too.

Semen is primarily water, but contains trace amounts of almost every nutrient the human body uses.

It has somewhat higher amounts of commonly deficient minerals, such as potassium, magnesium, and selenium. One typical ejaculation contains 150 mg of protein, 11 mg of carbohydrates, 6 mg fat, 3 mg cholesterol, 7% US RDA potassium and 3% US RDA copper and zinc. When metabolized, protein yields 4 kcal/g, carbohydrate also yields 4 kcal/g, and fat yields 9 kcal/g.

Hence the food energy in the typical ejaculation is 0.7 kcal (2.9 kJ).

Now if only some obscure scientist or doctor would publish a report extolling the benefits as a sunscreen women wouldn't be able to resist...lol

 

[paulthewetcd]

Here is a question I have wondered for a long time and this seems just the place to ask it...

When I masturbate, I have learned or discovered over the years that I am able to have a full-on orgasm without actually ejaculating everywhere. The (ejaculate) is still there, I can feel it rise, but with continuous "squeezing" or "clenching" motions I can keep it from "exiting".

So where does it end up in that situation? Is there any medical harm in doing that? I prefer to let it shoot out anyway, but there are those times where ya just don't wanna get outta bed and clean-up.

Any idea? Thanks!

Sorry Tony, I confess I forgot about your post. I meant to give it some thought and then it slipped my mind.



So, according to my research, (online, before anybody casts aspersions!) human semen is a carefully blended cocktail. Here's some trivia for you.

70% is fluid from the prostate's seminal vesicles, containing seminal plasma, protein and vit C, which are the main sources of nutrients for sperm cells. It also contains prostaglandins which are involved in preventing an immune response for the recipient female (assuming you swing that way) that could otherwise thwart procreation.

25% is secreted by seminal vesicles attached to the prostate, this contains zinc, to stabilise the DNA within sperm cells. It also balances the pH of semen, 7.2-8 if you're interested.

1% is a mucus that facilitates movement of seminal fluid.

2-4% consists of the sperm cells themselves, which is the portion that comes from your testes.

You risk causing the same symptoms that orgasm denial can cause, by which I mean the denial of an orgasm at the last minute, either by interruption or to tease a guy. The technical term for that is epididymal hypertension. The unused semen is broken down and re-absorbed by the body but until that happens congestion occurs in the epididymis, a coil like tube along the top of each testicle, where your matured sperm sit to await their destiny.

As to the long term risks, I really couldn't say. It's doesn't sound like something you do all that often and presumably you've had no side effects of any kind so far. If there's a strong history of prostate trouble in your family you might want to consider not taking the risk of mistreating it. Other than that though, if kinky people are capable of shoving sounding rods up themselves without wreaking too much havoc, I'm sure your pipework can cope with the occasional bit of left over ejaculate. There's about a foot of plumbing from the tip of a man's penis to his prostate, which should provide plenty of opportunity for re-absorption before it backs up as far as your prostate, which sits beneath the neck of your bladder.

Hope that helps.

Excellent thread, FM. I like this answer.
Here's another insight: I used to use a cock ring that was too tight. My urologist said that two things were happening. First, the epididymis gets congested and sometimes this results in inflammation, pain, and/or infection (epididymitis). Secondly, there can be some retrograde ejaculation, where the semen goes backwards, ending up in the urinary bladder. You'll see it come out when you next urinate.

BUMPed my knee, may need major reconstructive surgery, any advice?

ok...so probably just need a bandaid but this thread needs to not fade away

Thankyou. Obviously as a nurse and a fairly young one my knowledge is by no means exhaustive though. Any time you want to chime in or correct me you'll be welcome.

Oh...um...um...ok
The darn bandaid keeps falling off. Any advice?

oops, figured out you're supposed to take the paper off the sticky side.

Hi FM, I hope you can help me. what is the strongest painkiller that I can take for endometriosis? I am in so much bloody pain with it

The best painkillers for endometriosis are anti-inflammatory ones such as ibuprofen, diclofenac or naproxen. If you have an allergy to aspirin or non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, paracetamol combined with codeine is best.

Taking any form of painkiller long term has implications though. You shouldn't take them on a completely empty stomach as over time they can corrode your stomach lining. Any long term use of painkillers should be monitored by your GP, whether you get them on prescription or not.

If your pain is unmanageable and impacting significantly on your daily life, you should go back to your GP or specialist to discuss other options. Hormone treatments can alleviate symptoms a great deal and in severe cases keyhole surgery can be used to remove most of the endometriosis. Endometrial tissue is the stuff that lines your womb in preparation for a fertilized egg. It's then expelled during menstruation. Endometriosis is when this tissue is found outside the womb instead. So surgery can remove the endometrial tissue that's in the wrong place.

Thanks hon. I was a bit nervous about offering advice to start with but nobody has expected miracles from me yet. It's nice to be able to help people out and the research I need to do sometimes is always beneficial to me as well.

It's really fine. To be honest, if you hadn't spoken up I probably wouldn't have realised that I'd overlooked your post.

GF and I routinely fuck each other anally with John Holmes dildos (we each have our own). Seems like 8 years now. Asses are looser than a normal person's ass, but does not seem to be a problem. Could we be going damage that we don't realize?

We each can take 6-7"

Hi guys

Um, you don't mention how often you guys have anal sex. I'm also wondering how you've verified that your asses are looser than normal people's.

With anal you need a silicone lube rather than water based, which is formulated for single insertion rather than prolonged anal fucking. Take time to re-apply lube throughout rather than let the ass get dry. You should take the time to dilate the anus with lubricated fingers or graduated toys, shouldn't take more than a minute or two but makes all the difference to your ass. I'm not familiar with John Holmes dildos. Overuse of douches can cause irritation because it washes out the lubrication your bowel uses to move everything through. Toys should be disinfected before and after use. Antiseptic cream can be applied to the anus afterwards if tiny tears have occurred.

If you're not experiencing inflammation, dark stool, abdominal pain or any problems with the consistency and regularity of your bowl movements, you should be fine. Very dark stool indicates internal bleeding and so if that ever happens you should be checked out urgently. You guys are obviously experienced players. If you were stretching or fisting regularly, that'd be different but most dildos are no thicker than the average healthy bowel movement. Keep listening to your bodies and I'm sure you'll be fine.

This isn't really a problem. Im just curious about this. I'm 18 6'2" and my penis is at bout 8". My doc says I got q few more inches to go (height not length lol), and I was wondering if I'm gonna grow a bit more in length. I'm good now but I'm fine with a bit more to work with XD

Thanks FM My GP has me on 4 types of painkiller plus a stomach tab but I'm still laid up for an entire week every time. I've asked for surgery as I had laser treatment 18 years ago and it's only just come back this year, but they want to fit a marina coil and I don't want it, as the Doc has told me it can take up to a year to work properly!?!? I have an appointment with a specialist next week and I am going to beg for surgery lol!

 

[littleangryfly]

I think this thread is a great idea, and I have a question if I may.

Nine weeks ago I had a C-section. I am experiencing pain when I have P-I-V sex. I am breastfeeding but dryness is not the problem - this is a sharp pain deep inside.

The C-section was complex - I lost a lot of blood and needed to be taken back into theatre and given a general for resuturing and a transfusion. I had the metal staples which were taken out five days later. The wound looks to be healed although I do still have some abdo pain when I do too much excerise or lifting. I was taking ibruprofen, codeine and diplofenac (?) but I am not taking any pain medication now apart from a couple of paracetamol now and again if I experience the abdo pain.

Do you know what could be causing this deep internal pain? We have avoided P-I-V sex for a while and done other things. Sometimes having an orgasm also causes this kind of pain.

I want to have a coil fitted soon but I am waitng for this pain to go away before I go and have it fitted, as I'm a bit scared of what the proceedure will feel like (I had one before and that hurt without having a c-section scar!)
I have no unusual discharge or bleeding.

Thank you.

 

[cymbline]

Great thread FM! Enjoy reading and getting a little knowledge never hurts.

It's that time of year for the cold and flu season. What is your recommendation on how to "cure" the common cold?

Do you have any suggestions on over the counter product for relieving the symptoms for the flu?



Thanks!

On average, we do anal about 1-2 each week. Our dildos are 2 1/2" wide at their widest point. Much larger than the average width stool. We can only take 6-7", or about 3/4 the length of the shaft. Picture of dildo is here.

We do not experience the symptoms you mentioned. Dose the size of this dildo cause you to modify your advice?

In all honesty poppet, I have no idea. I've worked on a urology ward so I've seen a lot of cock in my career and as far as I can tell, a person's height is no indication of penis size. And besides, if you're 8 in already you want to be careful what you wish for as a very large cock can hurt women (assuming you swing that way) and limit what you get up to in the sack.

Well four types of painkiller is no good for anybody. I wish I had something else to suggest. I think you definitely need to go to your specialist and make it clear how much pain this is causing you. Nobody can afford to spend a week a month in bed and you must make it clear this is unacceptable to you.

I don't know anything about the marina coil really or why it would take a year to work. Perhaps it reduces the problem gradually, so that within a year you should no longer be suffering? Sounds like a lot of hassle though. the NHS is experiencing cutbacks so don't let them fob you off with a cheap treatment if you're really suffering. Sadly, these days it's the stubborn people who kick up a stink that get the treatment they need. You need to be your own advocate here and question why you have been recommended this coil instead of surgery.

Good luck.

Thank you.

So, I'm assuming you had a check at six weeks to ensure your c section is healing fine? Sex should have been resumed after six weeks, assuming all post-partum bleeding had ceased. Some sexual positions can aggravate your incision, so rear or side entry is advised. Most women have issues with lubrication, especially if they are breastfeeding.

I'm no expert at this stuff, it's more a midwife's domain. It may just be that your insides are still sore from the trauma of your c section birth. If the pain is getting worse or more frequent, definitely go back to your doctor or midwife/post partum-practitioner. You have a perfect right to take anything that concerns you to a healthcare professional and believe me, they will have heard it all before. You have nothing to be embarrassed about. Nine weeks may be too soon to expect a normal sexlife to resume but only you can know how severe and worrying this pain is.

You might want to switch back to ibuprofen as it's an anti-inflammatory, though I don't know whether that would be ok with breastfeeding. You should not be doing ANY lifting or strenuous exercise at this stage because you have layers of internal stitching still healing. Things like vacuum cleaning are among the worst things you can do. You must take it really easy after a c section.

Perhaps there are women around here who have had a c section and can offer more insight?

*looks around hopefully*
