I'm really trying to find ways to last longer during sex. Right now, I'm only able to go for about 10 to 15 seconds. I'm kinda worried about it and just want to enhance my experience and enjoy my life more. Any advice on how I can improve my timing?

I've been dealing with this issue where my foreskin sticks to the glans, and I've noticed there's some whiteness on the glans too. The skin doesn't retract when I have an erection. It used to not retract at all, but I've been gently trying to retract it in warm water, and now it retracts a bit more, but only up to about 25. I really want to avoid circumcision if there's another solution, even if it takes a while. Are there any topical creams or treatments you could recommend?
