I'm a 21-year-old male and I've noticed something weird lately. When I used to masturbate, I could really feel the sensation around my penis, but now it seems like the sensitivity has decreased and I'm not enjoying it the same way. Is this something I should be worried about? If it is, do you have any suggestions on what I can do?
educed penis sensitivity can be a concern. Here are some possible reasons and suggestions: *Possible Reasons* 1. *Over-masturbation*: Frequent masturbation can lead to desensitization. 2. *Poor masturbation technique*: Aggressive or rough handling can cause nerve damage. 3. *Circumcision or foreskin issues*: Circumcision, foreskin tightness, or foreskin irritation can reduce sensitivity. 4. *Neurological issues*: Conditions like neuropathy, diabetes, or multiple sclerosis can affect nerve sensitivity. 5. *Psychological factors*: Stress, anxiety, or performance anxiety can contribute to reduced sensitivity. *Measures to Improve Sensitivity* 1. *Take breaks from masturbation*: Give your penis time to recover and regain sensitivity. 2. *Practice gentle masturbation techniques*: Use lubricants and gentle strokes to reduce friction and irritation. 3. *Forearm exercises*: Strengthen your forearm muscles to improve blood flow and sensitivity. 4. *Sensate focus exercises*: Practice mindfulness and focus on sensations during masturbation to increase awareness and sensitivity.

I've noticed a dark horizontal line on my nose that just appeared over the last few days. I'm a bit worried and wondering how I can get rid of it. What might be causing this, and are there any remedies or steps I should take to clear it up?
It can be due to various reasons. some are due to skin irritation or pressure caused by wearing glasses, masks or other items that or against the nose. Repeated rubbing off the nose due to allergies can also cause this. Could be a result of mild trauma, Sun exposure or hormonal changes. So to treat and prevent that avoid all the things I mentioned before . Use a gentle cleanser to clean the area twice daily. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Moisturise the area. Is brightening creams with vitamin c, niacinamide or kojic acid.
