The Dr Prakash Kothari Chat

Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:14:34 1996 IST):

kaamdev: Yes, it may. I am not aware the history of any civilisation which has been wiped out like this.


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:16:00 1996 IST):

Genius: Thank you.


libido (Tue Oct 29 21:16:01 1996 IST):

Doc, does that mean the END is near?


GENIUS (Tue Oct 29 21:17:34 1996 IST):

You are welcome Doctor Kothari. I see a distinct ray of hope in an inhibited society.


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:19:05 1996 IST):

Kaamdev: Alternative, like Ayurveda, may have an answer for AIDS. There are medicines listed in ancient Ayurvedic texts to increase the vaishnavi shakti (vital forces). They could prove beneficial. This is mentioned in Vagbhatt's Ashtangrhaday.


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:20:12 1996 IST):

MOG: Pls repeat your question.


kaamdev (Tue Oct 29 21:20:56 1996 IST):

Will the allopathic doctors use this Ayurvedic cure?


GuptRog (Tue Oct 29 21:21:01 1996 IST):

Dr.Kothari
A


kaamdev (Tue Oct 29 21:22:10 1996 IST):

Is sex the only reason for a happy marriage?


Surendra (Tue Oct 29 21:22:29 1996 IST):

Can we overcome AIDS in the near future ?


peterk (Tue Oct 29 21:23:04 1996 IST):

DOC, PLEASE ANSWER MY FETISH QUESTION


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:24:49 1996 IST):

Genius: Yes, bigger is better is the wrong concept. What is important is how good your performance is and not how long or how big. The normal sexual length of the vagina is six inches. Only the outer third has got nerve endings that is sensations. The inner two-thirds is virtually insensitive. For adequate sexual gratification you need to be two inches plus, of course when erect. Most women are interested in the sexual gratification and not in the size!


kaamdev (Tue Oct 29 21:25:41 1996 IST):

Are there any transvestites you know? Are they really okay?


mog no sexproblem (Tue Oct 29 21:26:42 1996 IST):

Doc:Q was basically what you thought of the relationship between narcs like marijuana and sex...


mog no sexproblem (Tue Oct 29 21:27:48 1996 IST):

PETERK ji:What is a fetish question?


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:27:58 1996 IST):

kaamdev: It all depends on the Almighty. Every breath you take is a stroke of luck; the next may or may not come.


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:30:00 1996 IST):

Kaamdev: They will need to. Even today many allopathic drugs have their essential drug as some variety of herb. The first anti-hypertensive, "Reserpine" was nothing but an Ayurvedic herb, Rawulfia serpentia.


peterk (Tue Oct 29 21:30:05 1996 IST):

Qs. is : WHAT CAUSES A FETISH? HOW DO YOU GET RID OF THE PROBLEM


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:31:09 1996 IST):

kaamdev: It is one of the important ingredients of a happy married life.


monkey (Tue Oct 29 21:31:28 1996 IST):

How bad is masturbation before marriage ?


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:33:15 1996 IST):

Kaamdev: To answer your question further: In the east sex can be the climax of love and love need not be the climax of sex is largely true. The true meaning of marriage, Sanskrit meaning, is union by touch.


mog no sexproblem (Tue Oct 29 21:35:14 1996 IST):

good night doc...have fun on the net...don't forget to go to the kama sutra site and fix indrani...


Surendra (Tue Oct 29 21:35:34 1996 IST):

Hey,Monkey, You'll only be wiping your "future of your palms"


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:36:49 1996 IST):

Kaamdev: Yes, some of them are comfortable. We have a huge outdoor clinic at KEM Hospital, Bombay, where about 100 patients are seen during every OPD from all over the country. A thin population does constitute transvestites. Remember transvestites, eunuchs and hijras are different.


monkey (Tue Oct 29 21:37:19 1996 IST):

Surendra !! Never understood you


LOVE (Tue Oct 29 21:38:08 1996 IST):

is there an upper age limit for masturbation


kaamdev (Tue Oct 29 21:38:31 1996 IST):

Please explain the difference in transvestits,eunuchs,etc...


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:38:45 1996 IST):

MOG: It heightens some of the special senses and awareness. Often it is associated with time distortion effect as well.


Surendra (Tue Oct 29 21:39:42 1996 IST):

Monkey I am sure you use your palms for masturbation, like NORMAL people,Its no harm in Masturbating before/after marriage. Its Natural.


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:39:44 1996 IST):

Peterk: Fetishes is not my area of expertise.


monkey (Tue Oct 29 21:42:29 1996 IST):

Surendra , well thanks for clearing that up .. Dr Kothari !! do you think this will have any future implications while having sex after marriage.


Surendra (Tue Oct 29 21:43:39 1996 IST):

Doc, you didn't answer my question. Can we have a cure for AIDS in the near future ? Love : There is no limit for a AutoSexual (one who masturbates)


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:44:16 1996 IST):

Monkey: In fact masturbation before marriage could be beneficial. What the penis does in the woman's vagina during intercourse, it experiences the same in the fist of the hand during masturbation. If you know Engligh well, naturally you will be able to pick up French faster because it is the same script. There is nothing like excess in masturbation resulting in the weakening of the penis. The tongue does not become weak in a talkative person, neither does it become strong if one observes silence! There are no muscles in the penis so the question of weakness does not arise. And there is no bone so a fracture cannot occur!


kaamdev (Tue Oct 29 21:46:10 1996 IST):

Could never understand why one can talk about everything under the sun openly,....except sex.. is there something wrong with our collective psyche? Does having double-standards have anything to do with a particular type of sex drive?


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:46:16 1996 IST):

Kaamdev: Write a letter to Dr Prakash Kothari, Sukh Sagar, Bombay 400007 and I shall furnish you with the details.


monkey (Tue Oct 29 21:46:56 1996 IST):

Dr Kothari ! That was a great explaination. No wonder you are the best in the country ! Had to know all this before hand .. as in another 2 months I am getting married to a DOCTOR .. so I should be prepared with all these answers . Thanks !!!


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:47:39 1996 IST):

LOVE: Absolutely not! Its the disuse that leads to atrophy and not the use!


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:50:15 1996 IST):

Monkey: Certainly not! I have followed up several cases who have masturbated for years and found them perfect after marriage. For virility they were excellent and their ability to father a child was intact.


libido (Tue Oct 29 21:51:31 1996 IST):

Can there be something like a sex overdrive?


kaamdev (Tue Oct 29 21:53:14 1996 IST):

A little girl


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:53:18 1996 IST):

Surendra: We may. But till then education is the only vaccine and we need to change the maxim "Prevention is better than cure" to "Prevention is the only cure".


monkey (Tue Oct 29 21:54:46 1996 IST):

Dr Kothari ! Being a indian , unlike this western society we never get the sex education nor in school nor in the society, and I have different views as how to go about it the first night when I will have my intercourse. What makes it difficult is that she must be knowing all about it as she has studied in med school. What is a good book I can read before i get in there on the bed with her .


vishu (Tue Oct 29 21:55:06 1996 IST):

Doc, what is the remedy for low sperm count ?


libido (Tue Oct 29 21:55:15 1996 IST):

Why is it always double-standards with men? Do women also feeel that way?


Surendra (Tue Oct 29 21:55:21 1996 IST):

Thanks Doc, I'm signing off. GOOD NIGHT & ALL THE BEST


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:55:54 1996 IST):

Libido: Yes. Sex overdrive could be present in psychiatric conditions like Mania. Sex drive could increase suddenly following an epilepsy attack, frontal lobe tumour (in the brain), post-closed head injuries, and following certain drugs.


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 21:57:23 1996 IST):

Monkey: "Joy of Sex" by Alex Comfort could be of help.


kaamdev (Tue Oct 29 21:57:56 1996 IST):

What cures can you recommend for low sex drives?


libido (Tue Oct 29 22:00:43 1996 IST):

What are your views on Blues and porn...do they actually do anything or its all in the mind?


vish (Tue Oct 29 22:02:00 1996 IST):

doc I would like to consult you in your private clinic. Can you tell me where is your private practice located ?


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 22:03:05 1996 IST):

vishu: First rule out any evidence of varicocele. A surgeon could evaluate better and a Doppler study could be still more precise. If it present surgery may prove beneficial, otherwise wear loose undergarments and put your testicles in a mug filled with cold ice water for 10 minutes twice in a day, as the cold atmosphere favours sperm production. Some Ayurvedic texts advise one to avoid hot foods like chillies and heavy spices for better sperm production. They feel that reduced sperm count is because of increase in "Pitta". In my experience also this does help.


vish (Tue Oct 29 22:05:04 1996 IST):

Thanks Doc. But what is Varicocele ?


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 22:05:06 1996 IST):

Vish: I see cases only on referral. No direct patients. Two reasons: The patient knows that he is visiting a qualified person and not a quack and secondly only difficult cases filter down to me so it helps me in sharpening my skills.


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 22:11:18 1996 IST):

Kaamdev: Find out the cause and then treat it. If it depression, anti depressants and supportive psychotherapy could be of help. If it is total blunting of sexual desire because of thought disorder (schizophrenia) necessary psychiatric help would prove useful. The testes manufacture testosterone and gets partly metabolised in the liver and then acts on the target organs. Hence any fault in the testes or liver, if present, needs to be treated accordingly. Drugs like anti-hypertensive, anti-cholinergics, anti-androgens and sedatives are common but still unsuspected culprits of lack of sexual desire. They can always be changed to medications with the same effect on the medical target symptoms without paralysing the sexual system. The best thing that will help increase the sexual drive will be an understanding, affectionate and sensuous partner.


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 22:12:11 1996 IST):

Vishu: Varicocele is bunch of tortuous veins found in the scrotal sac.


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 22:15:15 1996 IST):

Libido: Blue films or pornography may help some individual if properly used. I have come across several couple who make it a point to view a blue film or read a passage aloud from a pornographic book as a foreplay activity. And it does help to increase the sexual arousal and often works as a good psychological aphrodisiac.


Prakash Kothari (Tue Oct 29 22:16:04 1996 IST):

Good night and thank you. My wife is looking for me. Bye.


Anon (Tue Oct 29 22:17:05 1996 IST):

Doc, Ihad a still born baby with deformities like club foot,congested blood vessels,collapsed lungs and Embolus. what could be the reason? can it be due to fertilisation of abnormal sperms ?


nikhil lakshman (Tue Oct 29 22:18:43 1996 IST):

Thank you very much Dr Kothari. It was great having you with us. Good night.


%Amit (Tue Oct 29 22:23:48 1996 IST):
