I've been having some recurring issues after sexual activity, where I notice dryness and tears on my penis. There are also these small red dots on the head of my penis, but they don't seem too noticeable. When I searched online, it suggested it might be related to a yeast or fungal infection. I'm not really sure what to make of it, though. Could you give me some advice or thoughts on what might be going on?

I masturbate once a day and I'm curious if there's any harm in doing this regularly. It's become a nightly habit for me, and I'm just wondering if it might have any negative effects or if it's something I should worry about.

Masturbating once a day is generally considered normal for most individuals, as long as it doesn't interfere with daily activities, relationships, or cause any physical discomfort. It's important to listen to your body and ensure it doesn't become compulsive or negatively impact other aspects of your life. If you have concerns, its always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
