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.

I'm dealing with tight foreskin where I can pull it back normally when soft, but during an erection it's really painful and tight around the head almost like a burning sensation. I'm not sure if my frenulum is tight too. Is there any way to fix this without surgery?

It sounds like you may have phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully and comfortably. This can cause pain and discomfort during erections, potentially from a tight frenulum as well. Non-surgical treatments can help, including topical steroid creams and gentle stretching exercises
