I'm a bit concerned because my sex life used to be good, but recently I've noticed my penis isn't getting erect like it used to. I'm not sure what's going on and it's worrying me. Could there be an underlying issue causing this?

Erectile dysfunction can have various causes, including stress, anxiety, underlying health conditions, or medication side effects. It is important to consult with a doctor to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, you can consider using medications like Viagra (sildenafil) at a starting dose of 50mg as needed, taken about 1 hour before sexual activity. However, please consult with a doctor before starting any medication for erectile dysfunction.

What are the chances that sperm could survive under my fingernail? I ended up with sperm on my fingers, and after four hours of washing my hands with medium hot water, I inserted my fingers deeply into my girlfriend's vagina. I'm concerned about the possibility of her getting pregnant. I read somewhere that sperm might live in warm places, and I'm wondering if the area under fingernails could be considered warm enough. What should I do?

I'm really curious and a bit worried about the thickness of my penis. It's around 6.8 inches in length, which I'm okay with, but I'm interested in increasing the girth naturally at home. I don't want to use any medical or homeopathic treatments. Are there effective ways or tips you could suggest for this?
