I'm having some trouble with my sex life and could really use some advice. Anytime I'm getting close to intercourse, my penis seems to bend and just doesn't stay firm enough to actually penetrate, even though it's fine and hard during foreplay and when I'm being intimate in other ways. I even tried taking Viagra sildenafil 100mg, but it didn't work for me. It's frustrating because I feel aroused, but once we try to actually have sex, it's like my body doesn't cooperate. Do you have any suggestions or solutions for this?

It sounds like you're experiencing performance anxiety or situational erectile dysfunction, where stress or pressure during penetration affects firmness. Since sildenafil didnt help fully, consider speaking with a doctor about potential physical or psychological factors. Techniques like relaxation exercises, improving intimacy, or counseling could also help.

I'm dealing with some itching and redness on the head of my penis, and it really hurts when I pull back the foreskin. I'm not considering circumcision, but I'm unsure if I should see a dermatologist or a urologist for this. What would you recommend?
