I'm an 18-year-old guy and I've got this really tight foreskin, like phimosis or something. I can't pull it back when Im hard and not even when Im soft. It moves a little but stops when the opening gets to about a centimeter. Trying to move it further hurts a lot, so stretching it seems impossible. I've never had sex, and Im worried about how this might affect things. Is having sex possible with this condition, or am I going to need circumcision? I'm really hoping to avoid that if I can.

I'm worried because I ejaculate too early and I'm concerned my penis might be smaller and weaker than normal. It's less than 5 inches, which is making me anxious. Can you advise on whether this is something I should be really worried about or if there are any ways to improve this situation?

It's important to know that many factors, including anxiety and stress, can affect sexual performance and perception of body size. If you're concerned about premature ejaculation or erectile strength, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider who can guide you on potential treatments, therapy, and lifestyle changes to improve both physical and mental well-being.

My penis curves to the left and it's been bothering me. Are there any non-surgical options like traction devices that can help straighten it? What would you recommend trying first?

For penile curvature, a common non-surgical approach is penile traction therapy, which uses a device to gently stretch the penis and potentially help straighten it. While many traction devices are available, starting with a device that offers gentle and consistent stretching is generally recommended.
