I'd avoid the rubbing alcohol. That will have a temporary but very drying effect and sounds painful to me!!
BTW, the head is not the most sensitive part of the penis, in many men (me included). The frenulum and just behind the head on the undersurface is more sensitive.
Hope this helps. Good luck. EugenioView Thread




You might just need to get a physical exam and/or take better care of yourself. Are you a smoker? Drinker? Use any other drugs? Stressed out or exhausted? All those can have an effect as well. If you're not getting your rest, exercising, and eating well, you're more likely to have trouble in bed.View Thread




BTW, 4.5 to 5 inches is NOT abnormal. OK, it's on the small side of average, but it is totally NORMAL. I'm not much longer than you and there are plenty of guys around like us. From what you posted, you don't need medicine OR a doctor. Medicines that delay ejaculation have side effects you might not enjoy. So be confident, take care of your health, get (or stay) physically fit and avoid porn. One other bit of good news is that PE becomes less of a problem as you get into your 40s and beyond. Something to look forward to ; ). Good luck, bud.

Aching balls are a consequence of blood congestion in the testicles and scrotal structures that happens during high arousal. When there hasn't been relief (via orgasm) it is an uncomfortable, heavy sensation that can be painful, as you describe. Usually masturbation to orgasm will provide relief when having sex isn't possible. Admittedly, masturbation is a poor substitute for sex, but physiologically it should help. If not, I'd recommend wearing compression shorts for at least 24 hours and take Ibuprofen for pain relief.
Premature ejaculation is more difficult to resolve. Masturbation orgasms are strong, because you are totally in control of all the movements to maximize pleasureable sensations, etc. I'd recommend masturbating with a very loose grip, so that it takes a long time to orgasm. Gradually that will re-train the pleasure centers of your brain to enjoy going slower, and sexual intercourse will be more pleasureable for your wife. If you use pornography to masturbate with, I recommend avoiding that as it is the kiss of death to a good, strong sex life with a spouse (that's a separate discussion).
You don't have to see a doctor to learn how to do testicular self-exam every month. There are resources on-line that are very good. Of course, if you find some testicular change that is suspicious, you would need to go to a doctor.
Good luck. You sound like a pretty normal, healthy 33 year old man.
