I've been having this issue where the foreskin of my penis tears during sex. It happens when I'm aroused and the foreskin folds back, resulting in itching and sometimes even bleeding. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

How do I properly massage my penis and testicles, and is it safe to use coconut oil for this? I've been curious about whether there's a right technique and if coconut oil is a good option.

To massage your penis and testicles, use gentle, circular motions without applying excessive pressure. Coconut oil can be used as a lubricant due to its moisturizing properties, but ensure you're not allergic. If you have any concerns or discomfort, its best to consult a healthcare professional.
