I've been applying olive oil to my penis for about a week now, and I'm wondering if it's safe to use it on the glans too. Can using olive oil daily on my sensitive glans help with the sensitivity issue I'm experiencing?

Using olive oil on the glans is generally safe, but it wont specifically reduce sensitivity. Sensitivity could be due to various causes, like inflammation, irritation, or medical conditions. Its best to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and tailored advice.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with testicle pain for almost two years now. I saw a local sex specialist who just gave me painkillers, but the pain hasn't gone away. It's really affecting my life since I can't have sex with my wife without feeling a lot of discomfort afterward. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?

I'm 26 and my wife is 24. We recently got married and when we tried to have intercourse, I couldn't enter her properly. It feels like my penis bends and slips out, and her vagina seems really tight. Is this an issue with me, or is there something else going on? What should we do?

Its common for newlyweds to face such challenges, often due to anxiety or unfamiliarity. A tight vagina can be due to stress or insufficient arousal. Focus on relaxation, extended foreplay, and communication to help ease the process. If the issue persists, consider consulting a gynecologist or a counselor for guidance.

I've been diagnosed with phimosis and need surgery soon which option is safer and better, laser or ZSR? I'm really worried and want to make the right choice quickly.

Laser circumcision is actually the permanent solution for phimosis. So, if your doctor recommends you undergoing laser circumcision or stapler circumcision, be assured that it is the safest procedure and inflicts minimal pain
