Question

I've been masturbating about two or three times a week, and I'm worried if this could lead to impotency. I feel like my penis isn't as big as it was when I was 18, especially when it's flaccid. I can see nerves on it and also on the back of my hands. Does this mean Im getting weaker or is it normal? Am I doing it too often? Could this increase my risk of diabetes, because my mom has it?

Question

I'm experiencing something that's been bothering me. Whenever my penis gets erect, sperm starts leaking, and after a while, it flows out. I also seem to be having issues with night emissions. Plus, when my penis becomes erect, it doesn't stay straight; it bends slightly to the right. Could you offer some advice on how to deal with these issues?
