I'm a bit confused and worried about something that's been happening during sex with my wife. After intercourse, I notice this thread-like sticky substance coming from my penis, and I'm trying to figure out if it's sperm or just precum because my penis becomes smaller and slips out afterwards. I'm 42 and not sure if this is normal or something I should be worried about. Can you help me understand what's happening?

Based on your description, it sounds like ejaculation occurred, as the sticky thread-like fluid coming from your penis likely contains both sperm and seminal fluid. Precum typically appears before ejaculation and may not always contain sperm, but during ejaculation, sperm is released. If you have concerns about fertility or reproductive health, it's best to consult a doctor for evaluation.

I'm having some trouble with my sex life and could really use some advice. Anytime I'm getting close to intercourse, my penis seems to bend and just doesn't stay firm enough to actually penetrate, even though it's fine and hard during foreplay and when I'm being intimate in other ways. I even tried taking Viagra sildenafil 100mg, but it didn't work for me. It's frustrating because I feel aroused, but once we try to actually have sex, it's like my body doesn't cooperate. Do you have any suggestions or solutions for this?

It sounds like you're experiencing **performance anxiety or situational erectile dysfunction**, where stress or pressure during penetration affects firmness. Since sildenafil didnt help fully, consider speaking with a doctor about potential physical or psychological factors. Techniques like relaxation exercises, improving intimacy, or counseling could also help.

I'm 21 and I've noticed I haven't been having morning erections for almost a month now. I usually masturbate 3 or 4 times weekly, and I'm wondering what might be the cause. How can I achieve stronger erections, and is there an ideal frequency for how often I should be masturbating in a week or month?

Visit Psychiatrist for evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm 17 and have been wondering about how often it's normal or healthy to masturbate. Im a bit worried if there's any harm or risk to my health from doing it too much. Can you give me some guidance?

Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, and there's no specific frequency that's considered "right" or "wrong"; as long as it doesn't interfere with daily life, relationships, or mental health, masturbation is generally not injurious to health, but excessive frequency (e.g., multiple times a day) may lead to temporary physical or emotional issues, so moderation is key.
