I'm a bit worried because I used to have random and morning erections, which I assumed were normal, but for the past month they've stopped completely. I also feel like my sex drive has really decreased. Is this something I should be concerned about, or could it be a normal phase?

It's not uncommon for sexual drive and erections to fluctuate due to factors like stress, lifestyle changes, or hormonal imbalances. However, if youve noticed a persistent decrease in libido and erectile function, it might be helpful to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues like hormonal imbalances or other health conditions.

How do I properly massage my penis and testicles, and is it safe to use coconut oil for this? I've been curious about whether there's a right technique and if coconut oil is a good option.

To massage your penis and testicles, use gentle, circular motions without applying excessive pressure. Coconut oil can be used as a lubricant due to its moisturizing properties, but ensure you're not allergic. If you have any concerns or discomfort, its best to consult a healthcare professional.

I can't pull back my foreskin when I'm erect it hurts if I try to force it, but when it starts going back to flaccid, I can retract it easily since it doesn't feel tight then. Is there any way to fix this without needing surgery?

It sounds like you might have phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight and can't be easily retracted. While surgery (circumcision) is an option, there are non-surgical treatments that can help
