I'm thinking about using lignocaine jelly because I've heard it can help reduce the sensitivity of the glans penis, but I'm wondering how this might affect the process of getting an erection. I'm planning to apply it, but I'm a bit confused about how it all works together. Could you explain how lignocaine might impact erection and whether it's safe to use for this purpose?

Lignocaine jelly works by numbing the area it is applied to, reducing sensitivity. However, an erection is primarily caused by physical and psychological stimulation, leading to increased blood flow to the penis, not just sensitivity. So, even if the glans penis is less sensitive, the erection can still occur due to these other factors.

I'm married and have been trying for a month to have intercourse with my wife, but I'm having issues because I can't maintain an erection. It's affecting our intimacy, and I'm worried because I can't satisfy her fully. It's bending and not working as it should. What could be the cause of this? What can I do to resolve it?

You may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend you try using Viagra (Sildenafil) 50mg to 100mg about 1 hour before sexual activity. This medication can help improve blood flow to the penis and support a stronger erection. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm 24 and about to get married, but I'm really worried because my penis is still small like a child's. The foreskin hasn't retracted properly, and it's painful when I try to pull it back. It doesn't seem to reach its full size either. Is there any surgery or treatment that can help increase the size? I'm really scared about how this will affect my married life. What should I do?
