View alli have phimosis and cant retract my foreskin even when masturbating is it possible to have sex without retracting or do i need surgery i can move the skin a little but cant wear a condom properly
It's possible to have sex with phimosis, even without full retraction, but it may be uncomfortable or painful. Using a condom and ample lubricant can help. However, if the foreskin is severely tight, sexual activity could cause tearing or pain. Surgery (circumcision) might be recommended in more severe cases, but it's not always necessary

I've been trying to get intimate with my girlfriend, but my penis just doesn't seem to want to cooperate and stay erect. I've tried foreplay several times, and even though I enjoy it, I still can't get an erection. Is this something that happens to everyone, or should I think about having it checked out?

While having sex, I've noticed random cuts on the skin of my penis, and my partner experiences a burning sensation around the opening of her vagina. Could this be something serious? Sometimes we don't use protection. Also, I'm curious if there's a chance that kits might give incorrect results. Can you help with this?
The random cuts on your penis skin and your partner's burning sensation around the vaginal opening during sex could be indicative of a sexually transmitted infection (STI), such as herpes, HPV, or genital warts, or other conditions like genital eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis; the lack of protection during sex increases the risk of STI transmission; regarding the accuracy of STI test kits, while they are generally reliable, there is a small chance of false negatives or false positives, so it's essential to consult a urologist
