I'm 21 and have been masturbating since I was 16, but didn't know the foreskin was retractable until recently. Now when I do it, I pull my skin back to the ridge, but I've never really been able to ejaculate fullyit just sort of dribbles out. Also, I've noticed my penis has a slight left bend from the base when erect. I think that might be due to how I wore pants as a kid. Is there a way to actually shoot sperm, or is there something wrong with what I'm doing?

You may have a condition called phimosis, which is when the foreskin is tight and cannot be fully retracted. This can sometimes affect ejaculation. I recommend you try using a topical steroid cream like Betamethasone to help loosen the foreskin. As for the slight curvature of your penis, it is likely not related to your pant wearing style and is quite common. To improve your chances of ejaculating, you can try using medications like Sildenafil before sexual activity. If these issues persist, it would be best to consult with a urologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really struggling with my flaccid penis size it's around 4.5 inches and almost looks erect all the time. It's causing me so much embarrassment because people keep staring at my groin area, and I can't even tuck my shirt in for work or formal events. It's making me feel really depressed. Are there any medications or surgeries that could help? Would cosmetic plastic surgery be an option for this?

A flaccid length of 4.5 inches is within normal range. If it's causing psychological distress, consult a urologist or plastic surgeon‚Äîoptions like ligament release exist but are controversial.
