I've been struggling with phimosis where I can't pull back the skin during an erection. Is there any Ayurvedic treatment that can help with this? Can it be fixed without needing surgery?

Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin can't be pulled back from the head of the penis. It's normal in babies and small children, and they usually grow out of it. It can also be caused by infections, scar tissue, and skin diseases, and may need to be treated with steroid cream or surgery

I'm really worried because I feel like my part isn't as strong as it used to be. It seems to be getting smaller and losing strength each day. My partner used to say she was satisfied, but now she doesn't feel the same way and she's been direct about it. It's making me feel really sad and I can't help but wonder if this is because of regular masturbation. Is there something I can do about this? Can I get back to how things were before?

I'm curious about whether masturbating twice a week would cause a significant calorie loss. Also, does it have any impact on different parts of the body?

Masturbating twice a week burns about 20-30 calories per session. It's generally not harmful and doesn't significantly affect the body, though it can lead to temporary fatigue or muscle soreness in some people. As long as it's balanced with a healthy lifestyle, it's unlikely to cause any long-term issues.
