I’D LIKE TO

ORGASM AT THE

SAME TIME AS

MY MAN. TOO

MUCH TO ASK?

OKatherine, via email

ANSWERMovies have

alottoanswerfor–

they’ve made it seem

like simultaneous

orgasm is the pinnacle

of sexual achievement

andeasytoreach,but

actually it’s not very

common. Or necessary.

In reality couples often

have orgasms at

different times and

sometimes one or

both partners may not

haveoneatall.None

of this is a problem as

long you both enjoy

yourselves in the

receiving as well as

thegivingofpleasure.

Try experimenting

with positions that

give you an orgasm

and remember

the clitoris often

requires additional

stimulation during sex.

WHY DO

MOZZIE

BITES ITCH?

OGabi, via Facebook

ANSWER When

mosquitoes (and

BTW it’s only the

lady mozzies) bite

us, we encounter

their saliva. We all

develop an allergy

to that saliva,

but the degree

of reaction varies

in all of us. The

allergic reaction is

a classic one – our

bodies releasing

stacks of histamine

which causes

inflammation and

with that comes

itching. As long as

the mosquitoes

aren’t carrying

Dengue fever or

Ross River virus,

bites will itch and

disappear in a few

days. Try some

one per cent

hydrocortisone

cream to reduce

the itching; an

antihistamine tablet

can also help.
