I'm really worried because I've noticed this white fungus-like stuff on the head of my penis, and the outer skin isn't moving back like it usually does. I can't pull the skin back to clean it properly. What could this be, and how should I deal with it?

I'm planning to start a family, but I've been struggling with getting a proper erection lately. I've never had problems before, and my sex life used to be good. This has been happening for the past few months. I don't have any medical issues or take any medication, so I'm a bit worried and could really use some advice on what might be going on.

i have phimosis and cant retract my foreskin even when masturbating is it possible to have sex without retracting or do i need surgery i can move the skin a little but cant wear a condom properly

It's possible to have sex with phimosis, even without full retraction, but it may be uncomfortable or painful. Using a condom and ample lubricant can help. However, if the foreskin is severely tight, sexual activity could cause tearing or pain. Surgery (circumcision) might be recommended in more severe cases, but it's not always necessary
