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 36 and happily married, but I've been running into a pretty embarrassing issueduring sex, my sperm seems to release too quickly. I'm not on any medications right now, but I do smoke about twice a day. Could there be something I'm missing, or maybe a medicine I should consider?

You should visit a sexologist to confirm a diagnosis of PE (premature ejaculation). The treatment of PE is dependant upon the severity of the condition. Lifestyle modifications to help your condition include cessation of smoking, stress control techniques such as meditationyoga and physical activity of at least 30 minutes per day.
