I'm really concerned because the frenulum on my penis seems to be partially torn, and now I don't experience the same level of pleasure or sensitivity as I used to during orgasms. There's no bleeding, just a bit of pain. I'm wondering what steps I should take and which type of doctor would be best to consult about this issue.

The torn frenulum can lead to decreased pleasure and sensitivity during orgasm. You can use a topical anesthetic cream containing Lidocaine to help with the pain. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen. It is advisable to consult a Urologist for further evaluation and management.

I don't have any issues with getting or maintaining an erection, and my heart health is good. Is it safe to use it even if I don't really have erectile problems, just to help with ejaculation time?

Using **Manforce Staylong** occasionally for improving ejaculation time is generally considered safe for most people, especially if you don't have any heart-related issues. However, its important to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure it's appropriate for your specific needs and to discuss potential side effects. Always use medications as directed.
