I'm having trouble with getting a proper erection, and my penis takes a while to get hard. Even when it does, it's not the firmness I'd expect. Plus, I'm experiencing quick discharge during sex with my partner, which is really causing me some embarrassment. I'm feeling quite ashamed and would appreciate any advice or solutions you might have.

My 73-year-old father has phimosis, and his urologist recommended circumcision mainly for hygiene and to prevent future infections. He's had diabetes for 26 years but it's well-controlled (HBA1C 6.6), and his BP is stable. The doctor suggested conventional surgery under local anesthesia but didn't mention laser surgery. I'm trying to understand the pros and cons of both methods conventional cutting vs laser especially for someone his age with diabetes. Which one would be safer or more recommended in his case?
