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 looking for a medication to help with premature ejaculation that doesn't have any side effects. Could you suggest something safe and effective? I'm really in need of some guidance here.

-For premature ejaculation, **Dapoxetine** (Priligy) is commonly prescribed. It's a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and is generally well-tolerated when taken as needed. Always consult a doctor to ensure safety and suitability f

I've been masturbating after smoking weed for a really long time, sometimes even two or three times a day for several consecutive days, and it's been super satisfying. But I'm starting to wonder if this habit could cause any issues. What could be the possible effects or results of this?

I have partial phimosis and I'm really worried about it can it be treated without needing surgery? What are my options and how effective are they? I'd prefer to avoid an operation if possible

Another effective alternate cure for phimosis is topical corticosteroids in the form of creams, ointments, or gels. Using these steroid creams for phimosis about 6-8 weeks improves the condition of phimosis in most cases. Topical steroids work by reducing the inflammation and loosening the foreskin.
