Hello Darsh, I suggest you to do these things for better experience.

1. Use water or silicon based LUBRICANT with anesthesia property 2. Use a lubricated lidocaine CONDOM 3. Do roleplay before penetration, don’t rush for it. 4. Keep your mind calm and relaxed. 5. Exercise daily 6. Maintain healthy diet

Most importantly, discuss the situation with your partner for best compliance.

Hello Darsh, I understand your concern. Here are my suggestions -

1. Best lubricants - Water based lubricants are Ky-Y jelly, Durex Play, Vagisil. Silicone Based ones are Pjur, Durex silicone. Silicone ones help you last longer. Avoid oils.

2. Fertile window is usually day 10-18 in a 28 day cycle. During this avoid unprotected sex. This is not fixed, though. Even during outher days, there will never be ZERO chances of pregnancy. Try using condoms, oral contraceptive pills, intra uterine contraceptive devices. These are good options.

Feel free to reach out again.

Regards, Dr. Nirav Jain MBBS, DNB D.Fam.Med

Use a water-based or silicone-based branded lubricant (like Durex Play, K-Y Jelly, Pjur). Unprotected sex is “relatively safe” in early (Day 1–7) and late (Day 19–28) parts of cycle, but risk is never zero.

If you are not planning to conceive, the most reliable way to prevent pregnancy is to use a proven method of contraception. It is also important to use a barrier method, like a condom, to protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

Water-based or silicone-based lubricants are safest for both partners and provide good smoothness without harming tissues. Unprotected sex based on “safe days” is not a reliable method to prevent pregnancy, as ovulation can vary. For proper guidance on contraception and sexual health, it is best to consult a gynecologist.

1.The safest lubricants for sex are water-based lubricants (brands like Durex Play, K-Y Jelly) as they do not harm the vagina or sperm.

2.Avoid oil, Vaseline, or soap as lubricants because they can cause infection or damage the condom.

3.If you are not planning to conceive, always use condoms or consult a doctor for regular contraception like pills lubricants alone will not prevent pregnancy.

4.“Safe days” depend on your partner’s cycle, usually the first 7 days after period and the last 7 days before the next period are relatively safer, but this method is not 100 percent reliable.

5.For smoothness, apply a small amount of water-based lubricant just before intercourse it is safe for both partners and can be used with or without condoms.

When it comes to choosing a lubricant for sex, especially if you’re not planning to conceive, it’s important to focus on products that are water-based or silicone-based, as they are typically safe, non-irritating, and effective. Water-based lubricants are generally the most popular because they are compatible with condoms and sex toys, easy to clean up, and less likely to cause irritation. Some well-known brands include Astroglide, KY Jelly, and Durex lubes. Silicone-based lubricants tend to last longer and may be a good option if you’re engaging in prolonged activities. However, they can be harder to wash off and should not be used with silicone sex toys, as they might degrade the material. Products like Pjur or Uberlube are widely used silicone-based options. Avoid oil-based lubricants like baby oil or lotions if you’re using condoms, as they can weaken latex and cause breakage.

When considering the timing of having unprotected sex to minimize the chances of conception, it’s important to understand that the “safe days” method, also known as the rhythm or calendar method, can be unreliable. Pregnancy is less likely if intercourse happens during the days when you’re least fertile, which generally are right before and after your period, depending on cycle regularity. However, because sperm can live in the body for up to five days and ovulation can sometimes be unpredictable, unprotected sex at any time carries some risk of pregnancy. If avoiding pregnancy is a priority, relying solely on timing isn’t the most effective strategy, and using some form of contraception, like condoms, is recommended in combination with or instead of natural family planning methods. Consulting with a healthcare professional for personalized contraceptive advice can provide more tailored information based on your individual health and lifestyle.
