I'm having a bit of an issue and really hope you can help me out. I've gotten into the habit of masturbating once a day, but when it comes to being with my girlfriend, I'm struggling to get a second erection quickly. It seems to take about 2 hours for me to be ready for round two. Is this something that might need medication, or are there exercises or other solutions I could try to improve this? Would love some advice on what to do.

The delayed second erection may be due to frequent masturbation, causing temporary desensitization, and to improve your sexual performance, consider exercises like Kegel, pelvic floor strengthening, and techniques like edging, as well as reducing masturbation frequency,

I've been having this on-and-off pain in the lower right side of my abdomen, kind of just above the penis area, and it seems like it's coming from the right testicle area. It's been really worrying me. What could this be? Should I be concerned about something serious?

usually thats normal cramp. no need to worry, practice kaegel exercises and maintain healthy life style. if it becoming worse visit urologist for appropriate management.

My frenulum got cut during sex with my girlfriend and now there's just a little pain left. Is this normal, or should I see a doctor?

Give it a rest for a week, that is no sex or masturbation, it should heal just fine as it doesn't sound deep. Avoid putting any type of cream on it just keep it clean and dry as possible and you will be fine... Don't apply cream as it keeps the wound moist and it will not heal for ages. Stop sex etc and if you see no improvement then as bad as it seems, you need to seek medical advice. .
