I've noticed that the skin on the upper part of my penis doesn't open up properly, and the last time I had sex, it started bleeding and was really painful. I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you give me some advice?

It sounds like you may have experienced a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully. It's important to avoid any further trauma to the area. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider, preferably a urologist, for a proper examination and treatment options, which may include topical treatments or, in some cases, a minor surgical procedure.

I've been dealing with weak erections and really early ejaculation, which I think might be from a lot of masturbation during my teenage years. It's super frustrating, and I'm just wondering how I can fix this issue now. Any advice on how to tackle this?

To address this issue, you can try using medications such as Viagra (Sildenafil) for improving erections and Priligy (Dapoxetine) for managing premature ejaculation. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, engaging in regular physical exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help improve your sexual function.
