Q: Since reaching age 40, the hair on my 5-1/2 inch penis has steadly progressed upwards, so that now I have hair sprouting out of my penis shaft all the way to the head. This is somewhat odd, and I have never observed this in other males. I discussed this with my dermatologist and he said not to worry about it. Well, I do worry and find that it limits my enjoyment of sex, not to mention possibly puncturing a condom! A friend told me about something he had read on Compuserve's sex FAQ concerning abnormal hair growth being due to undescended testicles, or botched hernia operations. My testicles are fine, but I did have a hernia repair at age 13, and my right testicle is somewhat higher than the left one. Any ideas on this? Am I alone with this malady? Can I use an over the counter hair removal product safely? Shaving only makes it worse, and leaves stubble after a few days. Thanks!

A (by Dr. Nick): Revisit your dermatologist, tell him that this problem limits your enjoyment of sex and ask him about hair removal products. He'll better know than me. I don't see any problems using a good product but to be sure go to your dermatologist.

A (by Ass. Freudlos): You didn't have enough sex, that's why the hair was able to grow all the way to the top. I'm taking care of my penis, having sex frequently doesn't give abnormal hair growing a chance. You could try to have some more sex, really stuff your penis into a lot of tight pussies (or often into the same) and then really bump hard and a lot. If you don't perform sex without condoms then masturbate a lot, glide with your tightend hand up and down really often and wildly. This maybe stops or even cancels the hair growing.
