I tried to get my penis erect by watching porn today, but it just didn't work. Is this something normal? Would love to know what you think.

It's not uncommon for people to experience temporary difficulty achieving an erection due to factors like stress, fatigue, or even performance anxiety. If this issue persists, it could be helpful to evaluate your overall physical and mental health, and consulting a healthcare provider might be beneficial for further guidance.

View allI'm wondering if using coconut oil under the foreskin is a good idea for keeping things clean, especially to prevent smegma. If coconut oil isn't recommended, what other options are there that I can try? Just trying to figure out the best way to maintain hygiene down there.
Using coconut oil under the foreskin can actually lead to a buildup of smegma and increase the risk of infections. A better substitute for keeping the area clean is to use a mild, unscented soap and warm water during daily hygiene routines. Additionally, applying a thin layer of over-the-counter antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day can help prevent smegma buildup and maintain proper hygiene.

I'm a 21-year-old guy, and I've been wondering about something that's been on my mind. I tend to masturbate almost daily, sometimes up to three times a day, or at least once. Also, I've been having sex with my girlfriend, maybe around 32 times. I'm curious to know if this might have any impact on my health now or in the future. Does what I'm doing pose any risks?
Masturbating 1-3 times a day and having sex with your girlfriend 2-3 times a week is generally considered a normal and healthy frequency for a 21-year-old male; however, it's essential to maintain a balance, as excessive masturbation or sexual activity can lead to fatigue, decreased libido, or relationship issues, so prioritize communication with your partner, practice safe sex, and focus on overall physical and mental well-being.

I had ZSR circumcision surgery on 22 July 2020 but the staple pin hasn't fully come off my penis yet. Trying to remove it with tools is really painful is there any home remedy or easier way to get it out without so much pain?
It's understandable that the staple pin hasn't come off naturally after 5 years. While it typically falls off within 10-14 days, it's best to consult your urologist for a professional assessment and removal, as attempting to do so at home can cause further pain and potentially complications
