I'm 27 and I've been noticing something strange. When I masturbate, my penis gets really tight, but when I'm having sex with my girlfriend, it doesn't seem to get as tight. It's got me super worried. Could you help me understand what's going on?

It's normal for the penis to feel firmer or tighter during masturbation due to different levels of arousal and muscle contraction. During sex, the physical and emotional dynamics are different, which can affect how the penis feels. If you're concerned, consider speaking with a healthcare provider for further reassurance.

I've just turned 22 and I'm still a virgin. While making out with my girlfriend, things are usually good until she touches my penis, then I ejaculate right away. I'm comfortable with oral sex and other stuff, but when she touches me, it just happens. I'm worried and kind of embarrassed. We've not had intercourse yet, but I really want to manage this better. Any tips or advice on what to do?

My dad is 61 and was just diagnosed with bladder cancer I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Should we consider surgery or would chemo be a better option for him?

It's understandable to be worried when a loved one is diagnosed with cancer. The best approach for your dad's bladder cancer will depend on the specific stage, grade, and type of cancer, as well as his overall health. Both surgery and chemotherapy can be effective treatment options, and the choice will depend on a variety of factors that your doctor will discuss with you.
