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've been struggling with this issue for the past two years where I can't fully penetrate my girlfriend because my erection doesn't stay hard enough, and I end up ejaculating within just a few seconds, even before actually getting in. The only way I can manage penetration is if I take kutub 30x 50mg or penegra 50mg about an hour before we're intimate. I'm really unsure about what's going on, and I'd appreciate any advice you might have on how to deal with this. Can you help?
