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.

View allI'm worried because I ejaculate too early and I'm concerned my penis might be smaller and weaker than normal. It's less than 5 inches, which is making me anxious. Can you advise on whether this is something I should be really worried about or if there are any ways to improve this situation?
It's important to know that many factors, including anxiety and stress, can affect sexual performance and perception of body size. If you're concerned about premature ejaculation or erectile strength, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider who can guide you on potential treatments, therapy, and lifestyle changes to improve both physical and mental well-being.

I'm a virgin and recently got pretty intimate with my girlfriend over the weekend. We both decided to hold off on actual sex, so we spent hours fooling around without crossing that line. My penis would go hard for a while and then soften when we stopped, and this cycle happened a few times on Sunday. But when we finally thought about having sex later that day, my penis just wouldn't get hard. I'm wondering if it was because my penis was fatigued from being erect so often beforehand. Is it normal, or could there be another reason like maybe performance anxiety? Im confused because I was able to get erections earlier, so Im not sure whats going on. Any thoughts?
When the penis is repeatedly becoming erect and then returning to a flaccid state without ejaculation, it can lead to temporary difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection. This is because the penis may become fatigued from the repeated engorgement and relaxation of the blood vessels. In such cases, it is important to allow the penis an adequate amount of time to rest and recover before attempting sexual activity again. Additionally, ensuring that you are well-hydrated, well-rested, and not under excessive stress can also help improve erectile function. If this issue persists or if you have concerns about your sexual health, it may be beneficial to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

When my penis gets erect, the skin feels too tight and doesn't move properly. The head doesn't come out fully from the skin, and trying to pull it back causes a lot of pain. What can I do to fix this without surgery?
If your foreskin feels tight and the glans (head of the penis) doesn't fully retract during erections, it's likely you have phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back. While surgery is an option, several non-surgical approaches can help
