I'm having a problem with the skin on my penis not retracting during sex with my partner. It seems like it's not opening properly. I've been using oil whenever we have sex, but I'm not sure if that's okay. Is there something I should be doing differently, or should I be worried about this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing tightness of the foreskin, a condition known as phimosis, which can make it difficult for the skin to retract during sex. Applying a lubricant, such as oil, can help reduce friction, but its important to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and explore treatment options, such as gentle stretching exercises or, in some cases, medical intervention.

I'm experiencing this vibrating sensation in my penis, and it's been going on for the last three days. I'm really curious about what might be causing this. Should I be worried that it could turn into something serious?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a sensation of vibration or tingling in your penis, which could be due to nerve irritation, muscle spasms, or an infection. If it persists or worsens, it's important to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues and ensure there's no serious problem.

I had varicocele surgery 10 years ago but still get occasional pain in my testicles - is this normal or could the veins have come back

It's possible for occasional testicle pain to persist even after a varicocele surgery. While the surgery aims to fix the dilated veins, it's not always a complete cure, and some pain can be related to residual or recurrent varicocele, nerve irritation, or other factors. It's also possible that your pain has a different origin than the varicocele itself.
