I'm 14 and I've noticed for the past couple of years that I get this watery discharge from my penis whenever I watch TV, especially when there's an actress on screen. Could this be some kind of nerve issue with my penis or something? It's kinda worrying me, and I'm not sure what to think.
It's common for young individuals to experience involuntary discharge or arousal when exposed to certain stimuli, such as watching TV or seeing actresses. This is typically a normal part of puberty and not caused by a nerve disorder. If you have concerns, its always a good idea to speak with a healthcare provider for further reassurance.
