I'm single and not in any relationships, but I have this overwhelming sex drive that's starting to mess with my daily life. Sometimes it even wakes me up at night, leaving me feeling anxious and nervous with sexual thoughts. I end up masturbating almost every day, and some days it's up to three times! I've noticed that doing it so often is giving me some lower back pain and making me feel really tired. Is this kind of desire normal? I read online that it might be due to high testosterone levels, and there's a test for that. But I'm curious, could there be other reasons for this? And what should I do about it? Can it lead to issues in the future?

Excessive sex desire, frequent masturbation, and associated symptoms like lower back pain and tiredness may be related to various factors, including high testosterone levels, hormonal imbalances, stress, anxiety, or underlying psychological conditions; other possible causes include sleep deprivation, certain medications, or nutritional deficiencies; consult a healthcare professional, such as an endocrinologist or a sexologist, for personalized guidance, and consider discussing the following: hormonal testing (e.g., testosterone, prolactin), stress management techniques, sleep hygiene, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address underlying psychological factors.

View allI've been masturbating since I was 16, and now at 29, I'm dealing with some discomfort. After I masturbate, I feel pain in my knee joints, right side of my back, and lower waist. The weird thing is, the pain sticks around for 2 or 3 days and then just disappears on its own. I'm planning to get married soon and wondering if this could affect my married life. Can you shed some light on why this might be happening and if there's any reason to worry when it comes to my future marriage?
Could be due to muscle strain and tension caused by the physical exertion involved in the act. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen. Additionally, you may benefit from applying a topical pain relief gel or cream to the affected areas. As for your concerns about this impacting your marriage life, it is unlikely to be a significant issue as long as you take steps to address the pain and discomfort you are experiencing. It is important to communicate openly with your partner about any discomfort you may be feeling and to explore different sexual positions or activities that are more comfortable for you. Remember to stay hydrated, practice good posture, and consider incorporating stretching exercises into your routine to help prevent muscle strain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with this tingling sensation and burning at the tip of my penis when I pee for almost a year now. I saw a doctor before, and they put me on antidepressants, which seemed to help, but whenever I stop taking them, the symptoms come back. I've also noticed some pain at the base of my penis. What's going on here? Is there something else I should be looking into?
Tingling in the penile area, burning sensation at the tip of the penis after urination, and pain at the base of the penis could be indicative of a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. Since you have already tried antidepressants without complete relief, I recommend consulting a doctor for a thorough evaluation and possible prescription of antibiotics. In the meantime, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen for the pain.

I've been trying to get intimate with my girlfriend, but my penis just doesn't seem to want to cooperate and stay erect. I've tried foreplay several times, and even though I enjoy it, I still can't get an erection. Is this something that happens to everyone, or should I think about having it checked out?
