Dr. George Klauber answered

Specializes in Pediatric Urology

Have partner help: Try having your partner apply condom. Or could practice in privacy watching stimulating porno movie. Could discuss with sympathetic dr. Including possible temporary use of viagra (sildenafil) or Cialis until problem has resolved itself. Good luck.
