I've been using delay spray for the past 7-8 years to help with PE, but I haven't really paid attention to the instructions all that time. Now my partner and I are trying for a baby and there's a chance we might have conceived, but nothing is confirmed yet. I'm just worried if the delay spray could have any effects on conceiving or on the embryo or fetus that's developing. Could it be a potential issue?

Delay sprays typically contain local anesthetics like lidocaine or benzocaine, which are generally considered safe for external use in small amounts. However, prolonged or excessive use could potentially affect sperm motility. Its advisable to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice, especially when trying to conceive.

I'm really worried because when I'm with my partner, I can only last about 1 to 2 minutes in bed, and it's really making them unhappy. I was wondering if there's any medicine or something that can help me increase my time during sex?

I'm a bit concerned about my penis length, it's about 15cm. I'm not sure if that's enough for a good sexual life and it's affecting my confidence a little. Should I be worried about this?

A penis length of 15 cm is within the average range, and it's important to remember that sexual satisfaction is influenced by many factors, such as emotional connection, communication, and overall health. Confidence and intimacy are more significant than size, so don't worry; focus on building a healthy relationship and self-confidence.

I'm really worried and just need some advice. So, I had a situation where I rubbed my bare penis on the outside of my partner's vagina, and there was some precum involved. I'm really concerned about the possibility of this causing a pregnancy. Is this something I should be worried about?

Yes, you can be pregnant if precum comes in contact which contains sperms
