I'm feeling really worried because after having sex for the first time, I've noticed that one side of my penis is swelling up. How long does it usually take for this kind of thing to go back to normal? Should I be concerned?

The swelling on one side of your penis after first-time sex could be due to a condition called penile Mondor's disease, a thrombophlebitis of the superficial dorsal vein, or other possible causes like trauma or friction during sex, and while it's usually a self-limiting condition

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.

I'm having some trouble during sex because the time we spend in bed isn't as long as I'd likeit's only about 57 minutes. I'm really feeling down about it. What can I do to possibly improve this?
Its normal for sexual duration to vary, but if youre unhappy, techniques like pelvic floor exercises, using the "start-stop" method, or consulting a doctor for guidance on premature ejaculation can help. A healthy lifestyle and open communication with your partner also play a big role.
