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.

I've been doing this thing called bed humping since I was in 6th or 7th grade. Now when I try to have real sex, my penis gets hard at first but then the hardness just goes away. Is this something I should be worried about?

my boyfriend has paraphimosis and we're really worried about it does it always need surgery to fix or are there other treatments also how much would surgery cost if it comes to that

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
