I'm dealing with a problem where the foreskin on my penis is really tight, and I can't pull it back at all. I can't see the inside of my penis, and it seems like others my age can do this easily. I've heard that having a tight foreskin can cause pain and maybe even bleeding during sex. I'm not sure what I should do about it, could you help me out with some advice?

To address this issue, you can try using a topical steroid cream such as Betamethasone 0.05% cream. Apply a small amount of the cream to the tight part of the foreskin twice a day for about 4-6 weeks. This can help to reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. In severe cases where conservative measures do not work, a circumcision may be recommended by a healthcare professional. This is a minor surgical procedure where the foreskin is removed. However, it is important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

Could you help me understand something that happened early this morning around 5 a.m.? I was asleep, and suddenly I had some sexual thoughts. Right then, sperms were ejected from my penis. Is this something normal, or could there be an issue that I need to be worried about?

It's completely normal for sexual thoughts or dreams to lead to spontaneous ejaculation, especially during sleep. This is a natural physiological response, often referred to as a "nocturnal emission" or "wet dream." It doesnt indicate any underlying health issue and is a common occurrence for many people.

Where does sperm go after vasectomy?

The sperm, which are made in the testicles, cannot pass through the vas deferens once they have been cut and tied, so they are reabsorbed by the body.

I'm looking for some advice. Can I have sex with my partner using Viagra or a similar medication on the day her egg ruptures for pregnancy? Last time, we missed that crucial day because of performance stress. Also, I'm wondering, does using Viagra affect the quantity or quality of sperm in any way?

Taking Viagra should have no effect on sperm qualitymorphology. You can use it during your partner's ovulation period safely. If your erectile dysfunction persists or worsens, it may be advisable to consult a specialist.
