DEAR DEIDRE: The veins on my penis are so ugly I fear I’ll never have sex.
I’m 30 and have never had a girlfriend. I’ve never even kissed a girl.

No issue is too small, too large or too embarrassing. Read our personal replies here.
I have female friends, but whenever I even think about asking someone out I stop myself because I know they’ll want to have sex, and I don’t want them to see my penis.
I’m sure they’d be disgusted or even laugh at me.
I don’t think my penis is normal – it has lots of big, purple veins on it.
I’ve seen porn films and those men’s penises don’t look like mine.

I wonder if it looks like this because I’m a virgin. Or maybe I’m just deformed?
Is there anything I can do to make it look better? Should I see a doctor?

DEIDRE SAYS: It’s perfectly normal to have a veiny penis. In fact, it’s those veins that allow the blood to flow to your penis to give you an erection.
Some men’s veins are just more visible than others, but there’s nothing wrong with you. No woman who likes you will laugh, or even care.
