I'm a bit worried about my habit of frequent masturbation, especially since I'm in the 15 to 22 age range. I've read some stuff on Google saying that doing it often when you're young can lead to early prostate cancer. Is there any truth to this, or is it just a myth? I usually masturbate twice a day and it's got me concerned about my future. Could you provide some guidance on this?

My penis size is very small and thin only 3.5 inches when erect. I really want to increase it. Does jelqing actually work? Also, does low testosterone affect size? And if there's a hormone imbalance, is it possible to grow my penis without surgery?

There's no scientific evidence that it works, and it might cause side effects like pain, irritation, and bruises. Rarely, jelqing can cause curving of the penis or erectile dysfunction. Talk to a doctor or sex therapist before you try jelqing or any other technique you find online

I've been wondering about the effects of daily masturbation over many years. I'm 28 now, could this habit be lowering my testosterone levels? Also, are there other factors or things I should be aware of that might be causing low testosterone?

Daily masturbation does not significantly impact testosterone levels in a healthy 28-year-old. However, chronic stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, obesity, and certain medical conditions (e.g., hypogonadism) can contribute to low testosterone levels. It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle for optimal hormone balance.
