I'm a bit worried about something that's been happening with my husband. We're both younghe's 32 and I'm 21and we've been married for six months. For the first five months, everything was fine, and he was able to insert his penis into my vagina. But for the past month, he hasn't been able to do that because it doesn't get strong enough. He can still release sperm, but the penis doesn't stay firm enough to insert. What could be causing this, and what should we do?

Your husband may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend he consult with a doctor to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, he can try using sildenafil (Viagra) before sexual activity to help with achieving and maintaining an erection. Remember to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions provided by the doctor.

my frenulum feels tight when erect and my penis bends a bit when relaxed but the foreskin moves down fully a surgeon recommended frenuloplasty but I'm not sure whether to go for the stitched or stitchless option how painful is the surgery and how long does it take to recover

Frenuloplasty, a surgery to address a tight frenulum, can be performed with or without stitches, and the choice between stitched and stitchless options depends on individual factors and surgeon preference. The procedure itself is generally minor, with recovery times varying but typically taking a few weeks. While some pain and discomfort are possible after the procedure, it's not typically a painful surgery.
