I've been masturbating for the past 6 years without actually removing my clothes, like on my underwear. Is there any chance this could lead to an infection?

Masturbating in this manner may increase the risk of developing a genital infection due to the warm and moist environment created by the underwear. It is important to maintain good hygiene practices to reduce the risk of infection. You can use antifungal creams like Clotrimazole 1% cream to prevent or treat any potential fungal infections.
