I'm a 19-year-old guy and I've been masturbating for about six years, but lately, especially in the last year, I've been doing it more frequently. Now, I've noticed that my penis seems smaller than it used to be and I'm getting stressed about it. Is there a way to get my size back? Could too much masturbation affect my size? Would appreciate any advice or help.

Masturbation doesn't directly affect penis size, but frequent or aggressive masturbation can cause temporary swelling, bruising, or penile fatigue, creating an illusion of shrinkage; to alleviate concerns, consider reducing masturbation frequency, practicing gentle techniques, and focusing on overall physical and mental well-being, including exercise, healthy diet, and stress management.

I'm 26 and my wife is 24. We recently got married and when we tried to have intercourse, I couldn't enter her properly. It feels like my penis bends and slips out, and her vagina seems really tight. Is this an issue with me, or is there something else going on? What should we do?

Its common for newlyweds to face such challenges, often due to anxiety or unfamiliarity. A tight vagina can be due to stress or insufficient arousal. Focus on relaxation, extended foreplay, and communication to help ease the process. If the issue persists, consider consulting a gynecologist or a counselor for guidance.

I'm dealing with a curved penis that leans to the left, and it's not just a slight bend. It's more like the curvature of a banana. I'm wondering if there's any medication that can help with this issue. Can you provide some advice?
