I'm really struggling with lasting longer during sex and it's been affecting my relationship. I've heard that some medications might help with controlling or delaying ejaculation, but I'm worried about whether this can actually solve the issue permanently. Can anyone give advice on how to increase the time, or if medication is a good route to take? Would appreciate any insights on this topic.

To increase sexual endurance, techniques like squeeze method, start-stop method, and practicing mindfulness can help control ejaculation. Medications like SSRIs or topical anesthetics may temporarily improve control, but they don't offer permanent solutions. Consulting a healthcare provider can help identify underlying causes and create a tailored approach.

I'm worried about my tight frenulumit's making it hard for me to pull my foreskin down. Is there anything I can do at home to help with this? I'm looking for some advice on possible remedies or exercises that might make it easier to manage.

To help alleviate a tight frenulum at home, try gentle stretching exercises: 1) massage the frenulum with gentle circular motions, 2) use a lubricant and slowly stretch the frenulum while pulling the foreskin down, and 3) repeat exercises 2-3 times a day; however, if the frenulum is severely tight or causing discomfort, consult a urologist
