It's possible to have sex with phimosis, even without full retraction, but it may be uncomfortable or painful. Using a condom and ample lubricant can help. However, if the foreskin is severely tight, sexual activity could cause tearing or pain. Surgery (circumcision) might be recommended in more severe cases, but it's not always necessary

I've noticed my urine has been a light pink color for the past few weeks. I've been masturbating a lot over the last month, and I'm starting to worry it might be connected.

-Light pink urine is usually a sign of blood in the urine (hematuria) and is unlikely to be directly caused by masturbation. It could indicate an underlying issue like a urinary tract infection, kidney stones, or other conditions. It's important to consul
