I've had this issue for about 20 days now. It started with a light bluish discoloration on my glans, and then turned whitish. Sometimes there's a mild burning sensation over the glans too. Usually, its pink in color. What could be going on? Should I be worried about this change?

I've been masturbating twice a day for the last 45 years, and I've never actually had sex with someone before. Last night, I tried to get intimate with my girlfriend, and I found out that my penis wasn't getting hard enough for sex. It was really disappointing, and now I'm worried. Any suggestions on what I should do?

It's natural to feel worried, but occasional difficulty with erections can happen due to stress, anxiety, or overthinking. Masturbation habits aren't usually the cause. Try to relax, focus on the moment, and reduce stress. If the issue persists, consulting a doctor can help rule out physical or psychological factors.
