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.

View allI can't pull back my foreskin when I'm erect it hurts if I try to force it, but when it starts going back to flaccid, I can retract it easily since it doesn't feel tight then. Is there any way to fix this without needing surgery?
It sounds like you might have phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight and can't be easily retracted. While surgery (circumcision) is an option, there are non-surgical treatments that can help

Ive noticed that my sperm seems quite thick, and my partner and I are trying to conceive. I'm really curious and a bit worrieddoes thicker sperm mean somethings wrong, or could it actually be a sign of good health?
Thick semen can sometimes indicate dehydration or a temporary change in consistency, but it doesn't necessarily affect fertility. If you're trying to conceive, it's important to focus on overall health, including hydration, diet, and timing. If you have concerns, I would recommend discussing it with a healthcare provider who can evaluate your specific situation.
