Question 1:	I am pregnant, and my husband wants any son of his to be circumcised. I am not so sure, and would like your opinion. Should it be done? Why is it done?
Question 2:	My doctor says my son should not have a circumcision as it is an unnecessary operation. What men will require circumcision as an adult?
Question 3:	I am writing about a problem of mine that has been apparent for some time. Around the base of my penis and on my scrotum there are a number of small pimple-like spots or lumps. A hair appears to grow from each lump. I am sure it is not an STD, but my girlfriend and I have agreed to have sex in the near future, and I fear she may notice these lumps. I am 15, and have had the problem for two years. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Question 4:	I am a 47 year old man who has never married. I am starting to see my life slip by now, and feel as though I would like to settle down with a younger woman and have a child. I have not had success in meeting the ideal partner as yet. Do you think I have left my run too late in life to settle down and have a child?
