I've noticed this tiny hard growth on my foreskin, about the size of a grain of sand. It's not itchy or burning or anything, but I'm a bit worried about what it could be. Any ideas on what this might be or if I should get it checked out?

This could potentially be a condition called Fordyce spots, which are small, raised, pale red, yellow-white, or skin-colored bumps that can appear on the shaft of the penis or the foreskin. They are usually harmless and do not require treatment. However, it is important to have it properly diagnosed by a healthcare provider to rule out any other possible conditions.

I'm really curious about how mast**u**rbation 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.

my 2 year old son has a tight foreskin that balloons when he pees and the doctor recommended circumcision but I'm really hoping there's another option besides surgery is there any alternative treatment we can try first
For your 2-year-old’s tight foreskin, many cases improve with gentle stretching exercises. If the doctor recommends circumcision, consider getting a second opinion or exploring non-surgical alternatives first.
