I've been wondering about a few things and wanted to get your advice. I'm curious if a penis size of 12-13 cm is considered good for sex, and are there any natural ways to increase size? Also, I tend to release sperm quite quickly, often within a minute, and I wonder how I might control that better. Does masturbation actually make your penis size smaller? I'd love some recommendations on foods that could help with penis enlargement and improving sperm health. Is it okay to shave regularly down there, and I also spend a lot of time nude at home; could that be harmful in any way?

I've been struggling with this issue for the past two years where I can't fully penetrate my girlfriend because my erection doesn't stay hard enough, and I end up ejaculating within just a few seconds, even before actually getting in. The only way I can manage penetration is if I take kutub 30x 50mg or penegra 50mg about an hour before we're intimate. I'm really unsure about what's going on, and I'd appreciate any advice you might have on how to deal with this. Can you help?

For a Grade 2 or 3 varicocele, non-surgical options like embolization (blocking the affected veins) and lifestyle changes are available, but no medications can cure it.
