I'm experiencing an issue with my penis being super sensitive whenever I watch porn or have intercourse with my girlfriend. It becomes so sensitive that I ejaculate just by touching it. I'm really concerned and want to know if there's a way to treat this with medication alone. If there is, how long would it generally take for the medication to fully resolve this problem?
