I've been wondering about something and could really use some guidance. I'm 17 now, and I've been masturbating for around 2 years. Ive heard that semen contains zinc, and I'm worried if this could actually lower testosterone levels over time. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it just a myth?

I've noticed that whenever I drink water, I end up needing to use the toilet in just about 5 minutes. Because of this, I try not to drink too much water, especially at night. It's kind of worrying me, and I'm not sure what I should do about it. Any ideas?
