Conditions
Erectile Dysfunction
As any glance at your email spam filter will tell you, erectile dysfunction is big business (as is money laundering for deposed Nigerian Princes). A common complaint that will affect many men in their lives, it can be just a one-off occurrence, but for some the problem is long-term. Although you may have a normal sex drive, sufferers fail to achieve or maintain an erection of the penis to enable sex to take place. This can be embarrassing for both you and your partner, leading to plaintive mutterings of ‘but I really do want to do it’. Stress, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking and other conditions such as Peyronie’s disease or a tight foreskin may all be contributing causes, but treatments are available – not through your email inbox – but instead through your GP.

Hi, My boyfriend's parents are both chinese and he told me most chinese people cannot consume alcohol because they lack an enzyme which breaks down alchohol once it has been consumed. My boyfriend drinks occasionally and he turns very red right after drinking, but this calms down after a while. My actual question now is, is he more prone to liver disease because of his ethnicity and should he be worried about damaging his liver? He doesn't drink very often but when he does it's more binge drinking type. Otherwise he is very fit and healthy and he is only 26. Thank you!
I am a male 20 And I have shaved on my penis and under and on my testicals and I have pushed my penis in I need help
Im a 16 year old male, when i was younger i was circumcised. I've never been able to get a full erection. I don't get morning glory, my penis is only semi erected and only goes a little bit hard and 'larger' but not sticking up. I can't get a full erection for sex either. I wondered if it was to do with being circumcised, i have a twin he was circumcised at the same time as me. I don't know if he can get a full erection or not, it's not really the kind of thing you ask your brother. Can anyone advise me on what is causing this, or if there is a possible way to cure it? Thanks.

you said circumcision doesnt affect your penis or your sex life, my god are you wrong. Why not ask some men who have had it done, it has completely ruined my sex life. No feeling in my penis now??? how can you say those lies????
Robert, There are millions of men in the world who are circumcised. It does not affect your penis or your sex life. I was circumcised for religious reasons when I was a baby. Now I am 42 and have a full and healthy sex life. Mate all the Jews and Muslim men are circumcised and have healthy sex life. Please see a doctor as there might be some other reason for your problem.
