I'm having some trouble during sex because the time we spend in bed isn't as long as I'd likeit's only about 57 minutes. I'm really feeling down about it. What can I do to possibly improve this?

Its normal for sexual duration to vary, but if youre unhappy, techniques like pelvic floor exercises, using the "start-stop" method, or consulting a doctor for guidance on premature ejaculation can help. A healthy lifestyle and open communication with your partner also play a big role.

I'm curious about using coconut oil or Vaseline for anal sex. Are they safe options for lubricant, or should I be looking for a specific gel or oil that's meant for this purpose? Would love some guidance on what's best to use.

As a doctor, I would recommend avoiding coconut oil or Vaseline as lubricants for anal sex, as they can break down latex condoms and may cause irritation. It's best to use a water-based or silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for sexual activity to ensure comfort and safety.
