I've noticed that my penis bends to the left, and I'm wondering if that's normal. Could this be from masturbating? I'd really like to know if there's a way to straighten it out.

Its normal for the penis to have a slight curve, and a bend to the left isnt usually a problem. Masturbation doesnt cause this, so dont worry. If the bend causes pain, difficulty during sex, or concerns, consult a urologist to rule out conditions like Peyronies disease. Otherwise, no treatment is needed.

I'm wondering if having a habit of daily masturbation is good or bad for me. How do I control or stop it if it's not a healthy practice? Are there any harms associated with it?

Daily masturbation can be a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, but excessive or compulsive masturbation can lead to negative effects such as fatigue, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, guilt, shame, and neglect of responsibilities; to control or stop, try setting boundaries, practicing self-control, engaging in alternative activities, and seeking professional help if needed.

I'm a 21-year-old guy with a tight foreskin, and it's making me nervous about sex because I'm worried it'll hurt. I've been thinking about circumcision but don't know much about the procedure or what to expect after. Should I bring someone with me when I get it done, and roughly how much does it cost in Bangalore? Also, how long does recovery usually take? I really want to get this sorted soon since it's been bothering me a lot.

Consult a local surgeon. It's a minor surgery.
