I have extra foreskin that completely covers my penis when it's normal. I saw someone with phimosis, but unlike them, I don't have any pain. I can pull the skin back almost 90%, but 10% doesn't stretch easily. I've always used condoms without any issues. Do I need to do anything about this, or is surgery the only option?

I'm really into sex and usually have a great time, but I've noticed that after the first round, it takes me more than 5 hours to get an erection again. It's starting to worry me. Any advice on what might be going on or how I can improve this?
It's normal for recovery time after sex (the refractory period) to vary between individuals, and it may lengthen with age or fatigue. Staying hydrated, reducing stress, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help. If the issue persists, consult a doctor to rule out hormonal or circulation-related concerns.
