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.

My foreskin covers the glans a bit and I can't fully retract it when I'm erect. Is this something that might need surgery or can it be managed another way?

If your foreskin only covers the glans slightly and you can't retract it fully, it might not need surgery. You could try gentle stretching exercises, or a urologist may recommend steroid creams. Surgery (circumcision) is a last resort if the condition causes pain or recurrent infections.

I'm wondering if masturbating twice a day could be affecting my weight. I'm aiming to gain weight and I've been hitting the gym every day. Does masturbation have any impact on building muscles or weight gain?

Masturbation does not directly cause weight loss or hinder muscle growth. To gain weight and improve muscle mass, you should focus on a balanced diet rich in protein and healthy fats, along with a consistent workout routine at the gym. Consider adding a protein supplement
