I'm having a bit of an issue and really hope you can help me out. I've gotten into the habit of masturbating once a day, but when it comes to being with my girlfriend, I'm struggling to get a second erection quickly. It seems to take about 2 hours for me to be ready for round two. Is this something that might need medication, or are there exercises or other solutions I could try to improve this? Would love some advice on what to do.

The delayed second erection may be due to frequent masturbation, causing temporary desensitization, and to improve your sexual performance, consider exercises like Kegel, pelvic floor strengthening, and techniques like edging, as well as reducing masturbation frequency,

I'm facing a really painful issue. Every time I have sex or my partner gives me oral, my foreskin tears, and it's really hurting a lot. It's especially painful if I try to have sex within the next day or two after it happens. It usually takes around 23 days for it to heal completely. What can I do about this, and is there a way to prevent it from happening in the first place?

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?

I've been dealing with this issue where I have semen with a really bad smell that's coming from my anus. I've seen many doctors about it, but nothing seems to help. It's been so embarrassing that I've barely left my house for the past two years. Do you have any idea what might be going on or how I can fix it?
