I'm wondering if masturbating twice a day could be affecting my weight. I'm aiming to gain weight and I've been hitting the gym every day. Does masturbation have any impact on building muscles or weight gain?

Masturbation does not directly cause weight loss or hinder muscle growth. To gain weight and improve muscle mass, you should focus on a balanced diet rich in protein and healthy fats, along with a consistent workout routine at the gym. Consider adding a protein supplement

I'm concerned because my penis curves downwards like a banana when it's erect. There's no pain, and I don't have any issues except for the curvature. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be affecting me in some way I don't realize?

A curved penis, especially when erect, is typically not a cause for concern if it doesnt cause pain, discomfort, or interfere with sexual function. This is often a natural variation in penis shape, which can occur due to factors like genetics or Peyronies disease, though the latter is usually associated with pain or difficulty during sex. Since you mention there's no pain or other issues, it's likely just a harmless curvature.

I'm experiencing some discomfort and mild prickly pain around my left testicle. It's been going on for about a day, and I can't figure out what's happening. It feels a bit awkward to talk about this in person. Can you help me understand what's going on?
