I have just turned 25 years old as a male and all my friends have begun balding or really thinning. I naturally started to get worried that I was balding as well. I posted here and most people either said that I was fine or that I caught it early or that I was thinning ever so slightly.

I’ve visited a dermatologist and they said that my scalp, hair are healthy, thick, voluminous and spongy with no signs at all of any hair loss. The specialist only prescribed a shampoo just in case because my father and my grandfather from my father’s side have some balding history. My father in fact was balding at 24 and I’m happy that I show no signs of hair loss at 25.

That being said, since my father is bald, I recommend everyone to just visit a dermatologist once a year to check your hair even if you think you are safe especially if your family genetically has balding history. The dermatologist only prescribed a special shampoo that would help just in case hair loss starts. Being proactive when it comes to hair really helps!!

I am a 25 year old man who has had many offers for sex with women but usually I have turned it down because of my social upbringing and my Catholic religious upbringing. I’m by no means a perfect Christian, I sometimes miss Mass, even curse when I’m super angry, and I can generally sin and ask for forgiveness later.

That being said, I’ve never had sex because I always thought of sex as an immoral thing before marriage. And it seems almost so violent a thing to do upon a woman. I am a bit gentle and I don’t want to hurt my woman during sex and I worry that I might be doing too much even when I’m touching my woman.

Now I’ve been dating a woman for a year and half and I’m convinced that I want to marry her. We do everything in between except for actual penetration.

That being said, as soon as I turned 25, I really want to have sex. I got a bit angry at the catholic world because it seems to me that the church has not moved on with the times and this economy that we are living in. Marriage nowadays usually happens very late and happens at a time when procreation becomes rather difficult which defeats the purpose of a Catholic wedding almost. So I’m a bit angry and I wish I can explain this to my girlfriend.

I fear that we are missing out on sex in our 20’s and that sex will be less exciting and less suitable for procreation in our 30’s. What are your thoughts and your advice about this?
