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,

Ive been experiencing this strange pain in the shaft of my penis, like its going to burst. It doesnt happen all the time, but now and then when my penis is erect. The pain seems to start from the middle and pushes out towards the sides. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

It sounds like you might be experiencing penile discomfort, possibly due to tension in the tissues or muscles during an erection. It could be related to conditions like Peyronie's disease, but I recommend seeing a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment options tailored to your situation.
