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'm a bit concerned after having sex for the first time this past Friday night. I've noticed some pain in my penis because the skin seems to have peeled. The front part has gotten pretty red too. The pain's a bit better than a couple of days ago, but it's still there. Do you have any advice on what I should do?

To alleviate the discomfort, apply a topical antibiotic cream, keep the area clean, and avoid further irritation if the pain persists, or you experience difficulty urinating, increased redness, or swelling, consult a urologist for further guidance.

I've been noticing some itching at the tip of my penis recently, and it started happening after I got a handjob at a massage parlour. It's been about a week now, and while the itching has reduced to occurring just once a day, I'm a bit worried. Could this be herpes or maybe just a reaction to the lubricant that was used? What should I do next?

I have partial phimosis where my foreskin doesn't retract during an erection but works fine when flaccid. Is there a way to treat this without surgery? Can you suggest any home remedies or medications that might help?

Yes, there are non-surgical approaches to treating partial phimosis. These include gentle stretching exercises, topical steroid creams, and maintaining good penile hygiene. If the condition is mild, daily gentle retraction of the foreskin may be enough
