I'm having trouble maintaining an erection during sex with my partner, even though I can get one during masturbation and foreplay. Its just during actual penetration where it becomes difficult to keep it up. I even tried taking Viagra 30 minutes before intercourse, but it didnt really help much. What can I do about this?

It sounds like you might be experiencing performance anxiety or a psychological component affecting your ability to maintain an erection during intercourse, even though you can achieve one during masturbation or foreplay. It's important to address any stress or anxiety related to sexual performance. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation, which may include physical or psychological factors, and to discuss potential treatment options beyond medications like Viagra.

View allI've been having this issue where every time I shake my penis, it gets this bulge on it. It's really odd because after about 8 hours, it seems to go back to its normal shape. This has been worrying me, and I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
The bulge on your penis after shaking it, which resolves on its own within 8 hours, might be due to a condition called Peyronie's disease or trauma-induced swelling; apply ice packs, avoid vigorous shaking, and consult a urologist for proper evaluation and guidance to prevent potential long-term damag

I'm keeping my foreskin pulled back all the time, so the head of my penis is always exposed. I'm curious if there's any harm in doing this or if it's better to keep it covered. I don't have any problems with my foreskin, but I want my penis to have that circumcised look. Could you let me know if there's any downside to this?
Keeping the foreskin retracted permanently is generally not harmful if you maintain proper hygiene to prevent dryness, irritation, or infections. However, the foreskin naturally protects the glans, so keeping it covered when not needed is advisable. If you prefer a circumcised appearance, you may consult a doctor to discuss safe options.

My frenulum feels tight when I'm erect but in flaccid state the foreskin moves down fully My doctor said it's frenulum breve and recommended frenuloplasty I'm confused about which option is better stitchless frenuloplasty or the one with stitches What are the pros and cons of each
Frenuloplasty, a procedure to address a tight frenulum (frenulum breve), can be performed with or without stitches. Both stitchless and stitch-based frenuloplasty aim to lengthen the frenulum and allow for normal foreskin retraction.
