I've heard that the foreskin should roll back completely, but mine doesnt quite do that. The front part rolls back, but the back seems to stay attached to my penis. How can I get it to roll back completely and expose the red part?

The issue you're describing is related to a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is partially or completely unable to retract over the glans penis; to address this, gently stretch the foreskin over time through manual retraction, using lubricants to reduce friction, and consider consulting a urologist or healthcare professional for guidance on proper technique and potential treatment options, such as topical creams or, in severe cases, circumcision.

I'm concerned about whether masturbation can lead to urethral stricture or any other issues. I've been masturbating and I'm wondering if there are any negative effects I should be aware of. Can you shed some light on this?
Masturbation does not typically cause urethral stricture. However, excessive or vigorous masturbation can lead to irritation of the genital area. It is important to practice good hygiene and use lubrication to prevent any potential irritation. If you experience any pain or discomfort during or after masturbation, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider. There are generally no serious long-term effects of masturbation. In fact, it can have some health benefits, such as stress relief and improved sleep. It is a normal and healthy sexual activity.

I'm having trouble maintaining an erection during sex with my partner, even though I can get one during masturbation and foreplay. Its just during actual penetration where it becomes difficult to keep it up. I even tried taking Viagra 30 minutes before intercourse, but it didnt really help much. What can I do about this?
It sounds like you might be experiencing performance anxiety or a psychological component affecting your ability to maintain an erection during intercourse, even though you can achieve one during masturbation or foreplay. It's important to address any stress or anxiety related to sexual performance. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation, which may include physical or psychological factors, and to discuss potential treatment options beyond medications like Viagra.
