My foreskin is tight and it hurts when I pull it back but I really don't want surgery. Are there other ways to fix this without going under the knife?

I'm really curious about whether masturbation is actually good or bad for my health. I've come across some old texts that mention the importance of preserving semen, and it's got me thinking. If it is okay to masturbate, how many times should I be doing it in a week? And is there a way to replenish semen after losing it?

Masturbation, when done in moderation, is generally considered a normal and healthy activity. It doesn't harm physical health and can even help reduce stress. Ancient texts may emphasize semen retention, but from a modern medical perspective, there is no need to worry about "semen loss" from occasional masturbation. It's essential to maintain balance, and frequency can vary individuallyusually, 2-3 times a week is typical, but it should always be based on personal comfort and well-being.
