I'm 17 and have been wondering about how often it's normal or healthy to masturbate. Im a bit worried if there's any harm or risk to my health from doing it too much. Can you give me some guidance?

Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, and there's no specific frequency that's considered "right" or "wrong"; as long as it doesn't interfere with daily life, relationships, or mental health, masturbation is generally not injurious to health, but excessive frequency (e.g., multiple times a day) may lead to temporary physical or emotional issues, so moderation is key.

I'm a gay guy and I'm really curious about ways to increase my penis size. Currently, I'm around 5 inches and I'm hoping to make it bigger. Are there any exercises, oils, or medicines that might help with this?

While there are no proven exercises, oils, or medications that significantly increase penis size, some men report temporary results from pumps or traction devices. However, it's essential to focus on overall health, self-acceptance, and communication in relationships. If you're concerned about your size, consulting a doctor for personalized advice is a good step.

I'm really worried because I've been masturbating for about 5 years, and now my penis looks different, kind of out of shape. I'm not sure if this will affect my ability to have kids in the future once I get married. On top of that, my legs have gotten really thin, and I feel pain in all my joints. My testicles are also quite painful. Did I somehow damage my penis? Could you help me understand what's going on?

Masturbation itself does not typically cause permanent damage to the penis or reproductive health; however, your symptoms, such as penis shape concerns, joint pain, thin legs, and testicular pain, may be related to other factors, including over-masturbation, which can lead to temporary issues like fatigue, muscle strain, or inflammation; consider consulting a urologist
