Question

I've been wondering about something and could really use some guidance. I'm 17 now, and I've been masturbating for around 2 years. Ive heard that semen contains zinc, and I'm worried if this could actually lower testosterone levels over time. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it just a myth?

Question

I'm really concerned because I'm experiencing severe early ejaculation. I can get an erection just fine, but I can't seem to maintain it long enough as I end up ejaculating just 15 to 20 seconds after the erection. What could be causing this and what steps can I take to address it?

Question

I've been doing some research online and I think I might have balanitis. My foreskin is swollen and it's causing inflammation at the tip of the glans. Can you please help me figure out what I should do to treat this?

Question

I'm recently married and we're thinking about having a baby. But I'm a bit worried because my penis is only around 2 to 2.5 inches when not erect and grows to about 4 inches during intercourse. The foreskin feels really tight, which makes things uncomfortable, and I notice my erection doesnt last long. I tried using coconut oil, and while it helped a bit with penetration, Im still left feeling not fully satisfied. Also, the fluid seems to come out too quickly after ejaculation. Is all this normal? Are there lotions for tight foreskin or is it okay to use oil on the penis? I'm looking for some advice on these concerns.
