Is sex safe in a Jacuzzi or a sauna?

Sex in the sauna or a Jacuzzi sounds erotic and sexy, but in reality it sucks. The problem with sex in an environment with too much water is that the genital secretions are easily washed away. This leads to dryness in the vagina and uncomfortable sex, at least for the female. If you are not planning to get pregnant, then you must use some type of protection. Condom usage in the Jacuzzi or sauna is definitely not recommended as there is evidence to show that heat can destroy the condom lining. The friction caused by lack of lubrication can even lead to minor perforation in the condom. 

Some type of lubrication is required to enhance the sexual pleasure of sex in water. Sex experts recommend use of silicone based lubrications which are water resistant and do not harm the condom. However, these lubricants do tend to be expensive and hard to wash off the body later on.

I have heard that having sex in water can prevent pregnancy. Is this true?

You have been reading too many junk magazines. Sex in water is may sound fun and romantic but it is an illegal practice in most public water areas in North America, unless you own a swimming pool or a hot tub. There are some individuals who believe that sex in water does not lead to pregnancy. This is a myth of gargantuan magnitude- rest assured water or no water; sperm are hardy, can swim and fertilize the egg in your uterus. If you do not want to get pregnant while having sex in water, you must use some type of protection. Condoms are not recommended as they often slip. Moreover, there are also studies which show that chemicals in water like chlorine, salt or the temperature also make the condom ineffective.

Sexpo- the ultimate in Adult entertainment

Sexpo is a sizzling Australian exhibition which focuses on displaying all aspects of health, adult lifestyle and sexuality. The show is only open to adults over the age of 18 and is run by club X. Sexpo is run in many cities across the globe including Toronto, Perth, Hong Kong, Melbourne, etc.


The Sexpo exhibition first started in Australia and the sexy theme quickly brought fame to the company. Initially Sexpo exhibitions were limited to a few Australian cities but soon there was demand from an international market. The 2008 event was held in Durban and almost immediately Sexpo was a worldwide phenomenon. The exhibition is different from pornography and tries to embrace sexuality in its natural state. Of course, the young men and women who pose at Sexpo are extremely good locking, appear erotic and wear seductive but skimpy clothing. Sexpo organizers claim that they would like to promote sexual behaviors in its natural state through education, workshop and live shows (where one can also participate).


Sexpo shows offer sexual entertainment of the highest caliber. Besides sexy lingerie and sexual toys (which can be bought); one can even experience wine tasting and get to mingle with the sexy women and men. There are also “naughty workshops” for those who want to spice up their sex life.

What is the best aphrodisiac you can recommend?

The ultimate aphrodisiac as per Dr Ruth is having self-respect for your sex partner. Sex should not be centered on the genitals or how long the thrusting action lasts. Besides genitals, there are other ways to satisfy your sexual partners. Dr Ruth says the most meaningful sexual relations start with affection, respect and honesty. Try this approach with your lover and you will not need to buy any more so called B.S. aphrodisiacs. However, if you have erectile failure and a lover, then you can always buy Viagra.

Does Viagra cause spontaneous erections?

When you buy Viagra pills, you will discover that you still need a partner to have sex. Moreover, the penis has to be stimulated before it will become erect. Men who buy Viagra will discover that the pill does not result in spontaneous erections. However, the erection can last anywhere from 2-4 hours.


Aphrodisiacs are so called “love hormones” or induce the “cuddling feeling”, but Viagra does no such thing. Viagra does not automatically enhance feelings of affection, attraction or sexual arousal. Viagra will only increase the potency of an erection but does not enhance sexual feelings. Therefore, Viagra is only meant to treat erectile dysfunction. Men who have no problems achieving an erection will not benefit from Viagra.


Men who are lonely or are trying to seek partners for sex should not buy Viagra, as it has ZIPPO aphrodisiac properties. These individuals should also avoid Craigslist for sex partners- as Chris Hansen from NBC will be waiting with a camera.

How does one develop bacterial vaginosis?

Even though bacterial vaginosis is not considered a sexually transmitted disease you can acquire it sexually. 

You can easily acquire the infection from a new sexual partner(s) and from an old sexual partner who may have been promiscuous behind your back. Other risk factors for bacterial vaginosis include wearing an IUD, excess douching and recent antibiotic use. 

Some women develop the infection without any of the above risk factors- this is called bad luck.

I am a 24 year old female and during sex i have noticed a very foul odor (smells fishy) coming from the vagina. Do you know what it may be?

Yes, most likely you have acquired bacterial vaginosis. This infection is caused by an organism known as gardnerella. 

Bacterial vaginosis is very common and often associated with vaginal discharge and a foul odor. During intercourse, viable sperm can cause release of volatile amines from the discharge. Bacterial vaginosis is not considered to be a sexually transmitted disease. 

However, you do  need treatment. The disorder is easily diagnosed by looking under a microscope or by smelling the discharge (whiff test). The infections is treated with either clindamycin or metronidazole. These antibiotics can help resolve the infection in a few days. 

In the meantime, maintain good genital hygiene and avoid intercourse for a few days. Your partner does not have to be treated.
