Here are two ckuess that I've been trying to solve

12a Balls wedged in gorge - relax! (6)

I thought the answer might be "Loosen", with balls referring to the to o's and wedged meaning you put them in the middle of the word, and loosen up refers to relax. I'm not sure where gorge fits in, are the letters lsen a reference to an abbreviation of valley or something?

Also this one

14d Joke's on men cutting tips from reproductive act tackle (9)

Any help would be appreciated

12 Sedate- Ed (Balls)+ Date.

Sorry, that should have been Sate, gorge.

Thanks, should have known that it might be referencing a political figure. Do you have any ideas about 14d, first I thought cutting tips meant remove the ends from the word reproductive, but that gives too many letters for an anagram.

14 Equipment, tackle.

Almost done, all I need now is

9a "Hollywood lets in rotten borough?" (10)

13d "Not fully tumescent from house massage one had" (4-5)

??M?R?G?D

11a "Pure Truss that's brought out on formal occasions" (5,3)

13 Semi rigid

11 White tie
9 Tinseltown anag lets in + town.

Ahh, I thought Tinseltown since it's a nickname for hollywood, I just couldn't see how it fitted the clue, thanks
