I'm dealing with an issue where the head of my penis is really sensitive, and it's leading to premature ejaculation. I'm looking for advice on how to address this sensitivity problem. What's the best way to manage this?

One treatment option you can try is using a topical anesthetic cream containing lidocaine. You can apply a small amount of cream to the sensitive area about 10-15 minutes before sexual activity. This can help reduce the sensitivity and delay ejaculation. One brand you can look for is Stud 100, and the recommended dosage is to apply a small pea-sized amount as needed. Remember to wash it off before intercourse to prevent transfer to your partner.

I'm really worried about something and could use some advice. If my penis only goes about 2 inches inside the vagina, is that enough to cause pregnancy? I also have issues with penis erection and premature ejaculation, and it's causing me a lot of stress. What should I do?

A penetration of at least 4-6 inches is generally considered sufficient for sperm to reach the cervix. I have some sexual problems with penis erection and premature ejaculation. For erectile dysfunction, you can try using Viagra (Sildenafil). For premature ejaculation, you can try using Priligy (Dapoxetine). Make sure to consult a specialist before starting any new medication.
