I'm curious about how masturbation might be affecting my body. Does it lead to any health issues, and if so, what kind of effects should I be aware of? I'm also worried about how it might impact my sexual life in the future. Could it affect my sperm count or create problems with intercourse or trying to conceive a child later on?

Can semen really get through clothes? I've heard that sperm can move with seminal fluid and get through two layers of clothing. Should I be worried about this?

Yes, it is possible for sperm to pass through two layers of clothing along with seminal fluid. However, the chances of sperm successfully reaching the vagina and resulting in pregnancy in this scenario are very low. To reduce the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, it is important to use proper protection such as condoms.

I have partial phimosis where my foreskin doesn't retract during an erection but works fine when flaccid. Is there a way to treat this without surgery? Can you suggest any home remedies or medications that might help?

Yes, there are non-surgical approaches to treating partial phimosis. These include gentle stretching exercises, topical steroid creams, and maintaining good penile hygiene. If the condition is mild, daily gentle retraction of the foreskin may be enough
