I'm struggling with controlling my urges to masturbate whenever I watch porn. It's like as soon as I start watching, I just can't help myself and end up masturbating. It makes me feel so bad about myself, and I end up punishing myself by doing it even more. How can I break out of this cycle?

It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role. Instead of relying on capsules, focusing on relaxation, communication with your partner, and possibly seeing a specialist for personalized advice can be more effective for improving stamina.

I'm 23 and I've never had sex before. I've been trying to have sex with my boyfriend, but every time he tries to put it in, I start to panic and resist. I think I might have developed a phobia about having sex, and it feels like it's really deep-rooted in my mind. I'm really worried about how this is going to affect my sexual life and relationship. Could you give me some advice?

It's natural to feel anxious about intimacy, especially if it's a new experience. What you're describing could be related to **fear or anxiety around penetration**, potentially vaginismus or a psychological barrier. I recommend starting with open communication with your partner, practicing relaxation techniques, and consulting a therapist or gynecologist to address these feelings in a safe and supportive way.
