I've noticed that my penis size seems to have shrunk from 6 inches to about 5 inches, and I'm really concerned. I've gained around 7 kgs recently, and I also drink a few times a week. I quit smoking regularly about two months ago but used to smoke a lot before. Could these changes be affecting my size and stamina? What kind of diet or lifestyle changes should I consider to maybe get back to my original size and boost my stamina?

I'm feeling really down about the size of my penis. It's 5 inches when erect, which I think is around 12 cm. I'm worried if this is normal or if there's something wrong. Can you tell me if my size is within the normal range?

Your penis size of 5 inches (12 cm) when erect is within the normal range. The average erect penis size globally is around 5-5.5 inches, and size does not usually affect sexual satisfaction or fertility. Try to focus on overall health and confidence rather than size.

I'm really curious about how masturbation affects testosterone levels. Like, is there a frequency that's considered okay or safe? I'm just a bit worried because I've read that doing it too much can mess with testosterone, and I want to make sure I'm not unintentionally causing any issues. Can you share any insights on how often it's alright without it impacting testosterone levels?

Masturbation does not significantly affect testosterone levels in the long term. Its generally safe and normal to masturbate as often as you feel comfortable, as long as it doesnt interfere with your daily life, relationships, or responsibilities.
