I've been masturbating about two or three times a week, and I'm worried if this could lead to impotency. I feel like my penis isn't as big as it was when I was 18, especially when it's flaccid. I can see nerves on it and also on the back of my hands. Does this mean Im getting weaker or is it normal? Am I doing it too often? Could this increase my risk of diabetes, because my mom has it?

I'm worried because my penis has suddenly gotten swollen, and I dont exactly know why. I was traveling on a bus last night, and this morning I noticed it was a bit swollen. Now, it seems to have gotten worse. There's been no sexual activity or anything else that could explain it. Could something have bitten me, and what should I do about it? Can you help me out with some advice?

I'm really struggling with a masturbation addiction. It seems like every time I have some free time, I end up doing it. Sometimes it's as much as three or four times a day, and it's really starting to affect me. I can't seem to gain any weight either. Could there be a connection, and what can I do to manage this habit better?

Normal,nothing to worry ok.
