Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Sexual activity does not need to be hindered by age. Couples (or individuals) may continue intimate relationships for as long as they desire.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Many males, particularly adolescent boys, may experience a phenomenon known as a nocturnal emission, or wet dream. These ejaculatory episodes occur during sleep without physical stimulation. They are perfectly normal and do not represent any sort of deviation.
