Dear Carla,

I'm an 18-year-old male. I'm very confident about myself, but when it comes to foreplay and intimate kissing with girls, my penis is up and ready to go. Is this a natural thing?

Hi Tommy,

Have you ever heard about the birds and the bees?  No?  Poor baby...

So, here’s a quick rundown: Your penis becomes erect while kissing and touching a woman because it’s supposed to. You’re partaking in an activity called “foreplay”, an interlude to sex through which your body prepares for intercourse.

In other words, you shouldn’t be embarrassed that your “member” is poking her leg. In fact, she’d probably be insulted if it didn’t. Got it?

And... if you need a practical lesson, give me a call, say by 2011, ok?
