My penis curves to the left and I'm a bit worried is this normal or could it cause problems? I'm 20 and male, and I'd like to know if there are any natural ways to straighten it without surgery. What can I do?

A mild curve in the penis, especially if it's present since puberty, is usually normal and not a cause for concern if it doesn't cause pain or interfere with sex. However, if the curve is new, worsening, or causing problems, it could be Peyronie's disease and should be evaluated by a urologist. Gentle stretching exercises or vacuum devices may help in mild cases, but avoid aggressive methods.

I've been wondering and I'm a bit worried because when I was around 16, I used to masturbate a lot and applied pressure on my penis against the bed. Now, my outer skin has kind of opened up, and the inner skin is exposed. I'm concerned if this could cause any issues in the future. Could you give me some advice on whether this might be a problem?

Sounds like you may have experienced some trauma to the skin of your penis. If the inner skin is now exposed to the environment, it is important to keep the area clean to prevent infection. You can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day to the affected area. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol to help with any discomfort. If you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or pus-like discharge, please seek medical attention promptly. It's also important to avoid any further trauma to the area to allow it to heal properly.

Hey, I'm a 14-year-old guy and I've been going through something weird recently. Every time I masturbate, I get these super sharp, cramp-like pains in my stomach. It lasts for about a minute or so, and if I move around too much, I get the pain again but it feels like it's moving up towards my chest. I usually do it every day, so I'm kinda worried and wondering what's going on. Any idea what this could be?

Overexcitement_: Rushing into intercourse can lead to premature ejaculation. 2. _Lack of control_: Insufficient practice in controlling ejaculation can contribute to the issue. 3. _Performance anxiety_: Fear of not satisfying your partner can exacerbate the problem. _Solutions_ 1. _Practice relaxation techniques_: Regular relaxation practices, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation, can help reduce anxiety and improve control. 2. _Exercise pelvic floor muscles_: Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles through Kegel exercises can help improve ejaculation control. 3. _Use the "stop-start" technique_: During intercourse, stop when you feel close to ejaculation, wait for 30 seconds to 1 minute, and then resume. 4. _Try the "squeeze" technique_: When you feel close to ejaculation, squeeze the base of your penis or the head of your penis to delay ejaculation. 5. _Consider counseling or therapy_: A sex therapist or counselor can help you address underlying issues and develop strategies to improve your sexual performance. 6. _Topical anesthetics or delay sprays_: Certain products, like lidocaine or benzocaine sprays, can help reduce sensitivity and delay ejaculation. _Remember_ 1. _Communicate with your partner_: Openly discuss your concerns and work together to find solutions. 2. _Practice patience and persistence_: Overcoming premature ejaculation takes time and effort.
