I'm really having trouble getting an erection lately no matter what I try, from watching porn to sexting or even phone sex, nothing seems to work. It's starting to worry me, and I feel like I've tried everything. Could there be something wrong or something I'm missing?

It's understandable to feel concerned about this. Difficulty in achieving an erection can be due to stress, anxiety, lifestyle factors, or underlying health issues like hormonal imbalances or circulatory problems. Please consider consulting a doctor to evaluate potential causes and explore effective treatments.

I'm experiencing this pinching feeling in my scrotum, kind of like someone poking me with a pin, and it's super embarrassing when I'm trying to sit in public. Adjusting my testicles or penis doesnt seem to help at all, and I just can't resist the urge to itch down there. It comes on at random times and sometimes the pain is just too much to handle. When I look at my scrotum, it seems completely normal. What's going on?
