Clinical sexologist Dr Prakash Kothari and Counseling Psychologist Rachna Kothari answer your sex-related queries

'What are the best positions for sexual intercourse during pregnancy?'

Q. Can I take Dapoxetine every alternate day? And can I continue that for lifetime?
A. Yes you can. In fact the dose is 1 tablet 1 hour before the act with a glass of water maximum once in 24 hours. Yes, you can continue SOS for lifetime.


Q. What could be the cause of excessive vaginal lubrication during sexual intercourse?
A. Physiologically, lubrication occurs in the vaginal wall during sexual arousal. This could increase in certain conditions of heightened sexual excitement, vaginal infection or allergy. The best course is to find out the cause and treat it. At times, a small dose of an antihistamine tablet may prove useful. However you may always keep the tissues handy.


Q. I am 28 and pregnant. What are the best positions for sexual intercourse during pregnancy? Please advise.
A. In the early months of pregnancy, one can have intercourse in the usual manner. As the pregnancy advances, the conventional posture in intercourse becomes difficult and one needs to avoid direct weight/pressure on the foetus.


The positions that could be adopted during later months of pregnancy are:
1 Rear entry (avoiding deep thrusting)
2 Female superior position
3 Side-by-side position
4 Woman sitting on a chair on the man’s lap in a face-to-face position.

Q. I am 49, my wife is 47. I am a regular smoker. I am good at foreplay but my entry and ejaculation is less than a minute. Please suggest some medicines with no side effects.
A. Dapoxetine 60 mg or Paroxetine 20 mg to be taken 1 or 4 hours respectively prior to the act with a glass of water usually delays the orgasm in most individuals. Please see that the tablet needs to be given maximum once in 24 hours. Going easy on tobacco or smoking will benefit you further because nicotine usually adds to anxiety, which may partly be responsible for early climax.
Note: The medicines are relatively safe. Please take under your doctor’s supervision.
