I've been wondering about a few things. I'm a 17-year-old guy and I've been masturbating since I was 16. Lately, I've heard some stuff that has me a bit worried. Does masturbating lead to hair loss or affect the levels of protein and calcium in my body? And does the body actually produce semen every day? I'm just curious and would appreciate some guidance.

I've noticed that my glans are really sensitive, to the point where it's uncomfortable to touch them. My foreskin retracts just fine without any issues, but I'm wondering if this level of sensitivity is something normal or if I should be concerned about it.
