Ever since my doctor put me on anti-depressants, I have found it very difficult to climax with my boyfriend. Could the pills be causing this problem? Could be. Certain anti-depressants are notorious for delaying the orgasm in males. And recently
My husband, who is a good deal older than me, is suggesting we should both go and live in Spain permanently. We are aware that lots of British people have done this. But healthcare-wise, would it be a good idea? Would the NHS cover us there? No
I'm 23 and every month my period is so heavy I need to wear a pad and a tampon at the same time. Is this normal? No. Anybody who has to wear a pad as well as a tampon is definitely suffering from excessive bleeding. The same is true of women who
I am 17 and I want to go on the Pill. But my mum says the clinic won't give it to me unless I first have an internal examination and a smear. I don't fancy either of those. Is she right? Nope. A generation ago, Family Planning Clinics used to
I HAVE just come down to live in Hove and I went to my new doctor's surgery for a check-up by the nurse. To my astonishment, she wanted to weigh me - which I never allow anyone to do. Furthermore, she kept going on about me being "obviously overweight

Once again, the residents of Shoreham and Lancing have had to endure Shoreham Airport's Festival of Noise - sorry, air show. The noise levels attained by the low-flying aircraft, especially those powered by Sir Frank Whittle's remarkable invention
There is an iron rule concerning what can be called "anti- Semitism". Whenever the actions of the state of Israel are in the headlines, whenever its supporters find it difficult to defend its war crimes, you can be sure "anti-Semitism" will be
Tony Greenstein remarks on how badly Israel treats its Arab citizens (Letters, September 14). But can anyone imagine the governments of Israel's Arab neighbours having a vociferous group of Jewish MPs in the way Israel has Arab MPs? For all its
Having read Jean Calder's account of, among other things, anti- Semitism at the recent Edinburgh Festival (The Argus, September 16) with a mixture of disbelief and tears in my eyes, may I suggest any future seekers of entertainment in Scotland's

I am not happy with Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company's twotier fare increase. I was advised it was due to the higher operating costs in the morning, and that this is when most people use the buses. But surely, by common logic, that is when
I read with astonishment C Glinsman's list of the dangers of using a tuktuk (Letters, September 13). He insults our intelligence by suggesting we would not have already thought about the pros and cons of taking a ride. I presume he is a taxi driver
I have always had trouble spelling things correctly. However, am I right in assuming "TucTuc" is used to referring to TucTuc Ltd and "tuk-tuk" is used to refer to the vehicle? Michelle Spencer, Tillstone Street, Brighton The editor replies: You
