Dear Daisy,
Sometimes I masturbate before I go to sleep at night. Usually nothing is wrong, but sometimes (and this always occurs at night, I've found) after I masturbate, a few minutes later I have to urinate. And when I do, it is usually very painful. The feeling doesn't pass either. My scrotum usually gets very tightened up, and there is painful feeling above my crotch. Usually I just sit there, drink some water until the feeling goes away. ANY idea what this is?

Bad Dreams

Dear Bad Dreams,
Daisy thinks that it is probably coincidental that this only happens at night and would venture a guess that you should go to a clinic and get this checked out by a practitioner. Urethritis, an infection of the urethra, the pathway for urine and semen, is one of the more common infections in men. It is marked by pain or a burning sensation during urination or erection and a discharge from the urethral opening on the tip of the penis. Do you have a discharge? Could the discharge be confused with your ejaculate, since this is happening after masturbation? There are several possible causes of urethritis; chlamydia and gonorrhea are possibilities for those who are sexually active. It is very easy for a medical provider to check for urethritis, and it is usually cured by antibiotics. A physician will also be able to tell you what else this unpleasant sensation may be, and whether or not you need to take further action. You have to treat your wiener right.

Dear Daisy,
What are the advantages of LCD monitors vs CRT counterparts?
Signed, CDTV

Dear CDTV,
As someone who has recently switched from a seventeen-inch CRT display to an equally-sized LCD monitor, I was most pleased to discover the amount of desk space I reclaimedfor pictures and chachki. When connected to the computer using the digital video inputs the image quality is without a doubt better than any CRT display. And something about it feels easier on the eyes. The only real drawback, when compared to a CRT, is cost. Good, large CRTs are still hundreds of dollars less, often times that's an acceptable trade-off.

Dear Daisy
I have tendencies to run naked through my house and shake my penis in front of any male guests. I never do this in front of female guests. Am I normal?
Signed, Sleepless

Dear Sleepless,
In that your question was bizarre, centered on deviant sexuality, and contained several errors of spelling, capitalization and punctuation, and provided that the control group against which we are to judge your normalcy is "people who write letters to Dear Daisy" the answer to your question is a resounding yes.

Shake It
