Ew! My Boyfriend Uses Chewing Tobacco - Health Q&A PDF Print

CHEW ON THIS

I’m dating a guy who uses smokeless tobacco. I want him to quit, but he tells me that it’s less harmful than smoking and he could quit any time. What are the health consequences for chewing tobacco? Also, am I at risk just for kissing him?

Justin Santa Barbara, CA

Smokeless tobacco, also known as chewing tobacco, spitting tobacco, spit, dip and chaw, has been around for a long time. In addition to bleeding and/or receding gums, chewing tobacco has the same health hazards as smoking tobacco: an increase in blood pressure and heart rate, and, of course, even more important, cancer. More than 30,000 Americans are diagnosed with mouth, lip and throat cancer each year. I wouldn’t want your new friend to be one of the 10,000 who die from it each year. As secondhand smoke is a health hazard to the nonsmoker, so is chewing tobacco to the non-chewer. And, yes, by kissing him, you are putting yourself at risk—of catching his bad breath, among other things! —PF

LUCKY LEAKER

My boyfriend begins leaking almost as soon as he becomes erect. I, on the other hand, don’t leak at all. Is leaking pre-come something I can learn? If so, how? We’ve tried bringing me to the brink of orgasm and backing off multiple times, but still nada.

Gerry Poughkeepsie, NY

Pre-ejaculatory fluid, or Cowper’s fluid, also known as pre-come, is the clear fluid issued from a man’s penis when he is sexually aroused. Cowper’s fluid is a normal response to arousal, unlike premature ejaculation, the most common form of male sexual dysfunction. Pre-come can be exciting for the other partner, unlike premature ejaculation, which can have devastating long-term effects on relationships. Here are my suggestions for you, provided that you are in a safe, monogamous relationship where you have no concerns about spreading STDs: Once your partner begins secreting pre-come, I would have him try (or you try) spreading his pre-come over the top, or glans, of your penis in a circular fashion. Continue using his pre-come as you begin stroking your penis. This exercise is called the spread, slide and circle technique. This arousal could cause you to produce your own pre-come. The technique you mentioned is often referred to as edging. Edging is when you stroke your penis to near climax but stop before ejaculating. In some cases, this will produce pre-come. In either case, I believe that you and your partner will have fun with the spread, slide and circle technique with incredible and satisfying results. —PF

RISKY BUSINESS

I’ve topped a few HIV-positive men in the past without using a condom because I heard it was less risky. Am I more, less or equally at risk topping someone who is HIV positive with a condom than topping them without a condom?

Billy M. New York, NY

The question of risk is certainly less for the guy topping, but the important word in that sentence is “risk.” Do not be fooled into gambling with your life because someone told you there was a lesser chance of contracting HIV by topping. I have diagnosed many men who have topped another man once and contracted HIV. It only takes one time, and your life will be changed forever. Remember, HIV is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids, such as semen—and yes, men who bottom without condoms are more likely to contract HIV—however, it is important to know that you can get HIV through topping and through performing oral sex. Anal intercourse involves friction, and the lining of the anal cavity can bleed. Blood can enter a small abrasion that results from intercourse on the insertive partner’s penis. More important, uncircumcised men have been found to be at higher risk for contracting HIV though insertive anal sex then circumcised men. HIV is a chronic —and sometimes still fatal—disease, and hopefully one day we will be able to cure it. But the only way to ensure your safety is through proper use of condoms. Dr. Alfred Kinsey reported that the male orgasm lasts approximately four seconds. Don’t value those seconds over the rest of your life. —FS

Penis Exercises

This is the most natural method of enhancing the penis, but not all exercises are effective, and some can be downright dangerous. Many of the programs we reviewed seemed to be based on little research or anatomical understanding. Very few had been developed with medical professional input. Of all the exercise exclusive programs available we only recommend one: For Men Only. It is the only exercise exclusive online resource to offer a researched and independently tested program. The site is easy to navigate, contains clear, concise diagrams and video instruction and is continuously updated. The program takes an average of only 7 minutes per day.

Natural Male Enhancement Exercises Powered by PenisHealthâ„¢

Natural Penis Enlargement Program Powered by PenisHealthâ„¢


PenisHealthâ„¢ is the only natural male enhancement system which is currently undergoing a clinical study based just on its own exercises. Lativio are very proud that we will be the only company in the world to have a clinically proven penis enlargement solution that does not require anything other than access to a PC or DVD player.

PenisHealthâ„¢ came to the internet in April 2001, at that time the market was still starting to take shape, and PenisHealthâ„¢ managed to offer many important additional features which could not be found on other web sites.

The main reason why PenisHealthâ„¢ has been so successful was the inclusion of instructional "workout style" videos which help clients perform the needed exercises. PenisHealthâ„¢ was the first program to commission this type of content and before this everything was just text based.

Over the 5-6 years since its launch PenisHealthâ„¢ has risen to the top, with content updates and new content, PenisHealthâ„¢ is now considered by many to be the best male enhancement exercise program on the internet.

PenisHealthâ„¢ has sold over 50,000 memberships and has reported up to 1,000 people using the program at any one time.




In the time PenisHealthâ„¢ has been online it has helped thousands of people, many reporting good gains in penis size. One of the biggest challenges that Lativio face is trying to prove to skeptical people that this solution works, we all know how hard it is to change someone's belief about something even if it's wrong.

The first step in proving the results past customers have achieved will be taken via the new clinical study, which is being conducted as we speak.

We believe that when these results are published in medical journals and international media, it will only be a matter of time before people understand the possible results PenisHealthâ„¢ can supply.



PenisHealthâ„¢ is an all natural exercise program, it can eliminate the need for potentially hazardous surgery, as surgery has massive long term implications and is still very unsafe.

Another reason why PenisHealthâ„¢ might be preferred to other methods could be because it only takes 20-40 minutes per day. The only other clinically proven penis enlargement methods are medical stretching devices, such as the SizeGeneticsâ„¢ unit. Stretching devices work using the same principle as the exercise program, however they require a commitment of 6-8 hours per day.

There are no other proven methods of long term male enhancement, this is why we feel PenisHealthâ„¢ is the number one chosen by many men.

After reading an inaccurate statement on “Health Q&A” I felt the need to respond. There is no increased risk of cancer for kissing a person who chews tobacco unless the tobacco itself is actually in the person’s mouth and open mouth “French” kissing is involved.

Chewing tobacco or oral “snuff” is a very poor drug for those who engage in receptive oral sex (like gays and some straight women) because it has been proven that oral tobacco creates very small cuts in the users mouth and these small cuts can make it easier to receive the HIV virus through.

Those that insist on chewing tobacco that are the receptive partner (the one sucking) should insist on condoms to protect themselves until they are able to quit their addiction.

There are several forms of the chemical in breast implants that can cause a problem in the human organism. Silicon (Si) is the basic element and probably causes immune system changes. Silica or SiO2 is the form it is mined from the earth. Silicone gel is a synthetic material containing 38% silicon. The silica is 45% silicon. There is slow leakage ("bleeding") of the silicone gel from the implants through the semi-permeable membrane envelope and also into and through the capsule that surrounds the implants.
