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 24 and dealing with really tight foreskin due to phimosis is there any non-surgical way to treat this? I'm worried about my condition and curious if stretching or creams might help instead of going straight to surgery.

Another effective alternate cure for phimosis is topical corticosteroids in the form of creams, ointments, or gels. Using these steroid creams for phimosis about 6-8 weeks improves the condition of phimosis in most cases. Topical steroids work by reducing the inflammation and loosening the foreskin.

I've been noticing that I get these small scars on the foreskin of my penis. They seem to heal pretty quickly, like in 2 to 3 days, but then they reappear especially after having sex. I'm kinda worried about this cycle. Any idea what's going on and how I can stop this from happening?
