I'm married and have been trying for a month to have intercourse with my wife, but I'm having issues because I can't maintain an erection. It's affecting our intimacy, and I'm worried because I can't satisfy her fully. It's bending and not working as it should. What could be the cause of this? What can I do to resolve it?

You may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend you try using Viagra (Sildenafil) 50mg to 100mg about 1 hour before sexual activity. This medication can help improve blood flow to the penis and support a stronger erection. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I've been measuring and my penis is around 7.5 inches which seems decent, but I'm noticing it looks a bit thinner than I'd like. I'm really curious, is there a way to increase its thickness?

It's normal for penises to vary in shape and size. While there are no guaranteed methods to increase thickness significantly, exercises like jelqing or treatments such as dermal fillers may help, but it's best to consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice and to address any concerns.
