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 having a mild blockage in my urethra, but only sometimes most of the time it's just a bit of trouble starting. There's no pain, burning, or blood, and I don't have issues emptying my bladder. The blockage feeling is right at the tip when I pee. Could this go away on its own without needing surgery?
