It's possible to have sex with phimosis, even without full retraction, but it may be uncomfortable or painful. Using a condom and ample lubricant can help. However, if the foreskin is severely tight, sexual activity could cause tearing or pain. Surgery (circumcision) might be recommended in more severe cases, but it's not always necessary

Question

I'm a 25-year-old guy and my parents are pushing me to get married. But here's the thing, I get really nervous and scared whenever I think about it. The main issue is that my penis doesn't stay strong and if it does, I ejaculate in like 30-40 seconds. I've had a habit of watching porn 247 for about three and a half years, though I stopped a few months back. Once, I tried having sex with a woman who was willing, but I got so scared, my heart felt like it was beating ten times faster than usual. Even when we just talked on the phone, I'd feel something coming out of my penis. Is there anything I can do to sort this out? Any advice would be really helpful.

Question

I'm really worried because I've noticed the hole in my penis seems to be getting larger, and I think it might be because Ive been masturbating a lot. Is there anything I can do to get it back to its original size?

Question

My foreskin doesn't fully cover the head of my penis about 11.5cm is always exposed whether it's erect or not. It's been like this for years without any issues, but I recently read about paraphimosis and now I'm worried if I have it. Also, what exactly is circumcision surgery and would I need it
