I'm having this weird cold chill sensation at the tip of my penis every now and then. My urine and STD tests came back normal, which is a relief, but I'm still bothered by this feeling. I've been taking meds for angular stomatitis, and Matilda forte for some rare penis numbness I'd occasionally get when sitting cross-legged for too long, but the numbness has been improving. The chillness is super irritating, and it's hard for me to describe it properly to my GP. I noticed if I drink a couple of glasses of water or wash the area with warm water, it might get a bit better or just disappear, not totally sure. I have this theory that these sensations started after I was on some meds for a minor skin infection, and had to suddenly stop them when I was told to just drink a lot of water, which I never felt this way before. Could you help me figure out whats going on?

Hey, I'm looking for some advice on how to last longer during sex, maybe more than an hour. Are there any tablets you would recommend for increased stamina or extra power during intimacy? Would appreciate any suggestions you have!

For enhancing stamina and duration, medications like Sildenafil (Viagra) or Tadalafil (Cialis) can be considered, but it's important to consult a healthcare provider before use. They can evaluate your overall health and suggest the most appropriate treatment for you.
