Sprays that contain a numbing agent such as benzocaine, lidocaine or prilocaine are sometimes used to treat premature ejaculation. They're applied to the penis 10 to 15 minutes before sex to reduce sensation and help delay ejaculation.

I'm a bit worried about my foreskin. It only pulls back halfway when my penis is erect, and there's also a tilt towards the left. Do you think circumcision might be necessary? Could you give me some advice on this?

I'm having some trouble with my sex life and could really use some advice. Anytime I'm getting close to intercourse, my penis seems to bend and just doesn't stay firm enough to actually penetrate, even though it's fine and hard during foreplay and when I'm being intimate in other ways. I even tried taking Viagra sildenafil 100mg, but it didn't work for me. It's frustrating because I feel aroused, but once we try to actually have sex, it's like my body doesn't cooperate. Do you have any suggestions or solutions for this?

It sounds like you're experiencing **performance anxiety or situational erectile dysfunction**, where stress or pressure during penetration affects firmness. Since sildenafil didnt help fully, consider speaking with a doctor about potential physical or psychological factors. Techniques like relaxation exercises, improving intimacy, or counseling could also help.
