I'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 got this small blister on the underside tip of my penis and it doesn't really hurt, but I'm pretty freaked out about it after doing some internet searches. Should I be worried about it, or maybe even consider a consultation with a doctor?

Low sexual desire can be concerning, especially when planning a family. Consider: - Consulting a sexologist or therapist to address psychological factors - Hormone level check-ups to rule out hormonal imbalances - Open discussion with your partner about feelings and desires - Healthy lifestyle changes: balanced diet, exercise, and stress management Don't hesitate to seek professional help. A sexologist or therapist can guide you.

I'm really concerned because it's been two years since I've had morning erections. I can't figure out what's causing this. Can you help me understand what's happening?

It's understandable to feel concerned, but morning erections can vary for many reasons, including stress, lifestyle changes, or underlying health conditions like hormonal imbalances or blood circulation issues. I recommend speaking to a healthcare provider to assess your situation and provide personalized guidance.
