I'm 21 and have been masturbating since I was 16, but didn't know the foreskin was retractable until recently. Now when I do it, I pull my skin back to the ridge, but I've never really been able to ejaculate fullyit just sort of dribbles out. Also, I've noticed my penis has a slight left bend from the base when erect. I think that might be due to how I wore pants as a kid. Is there a way to actually shoot sperm, or is there something wrong with what I'm doing?

You may have a condition called phimosis, which is when the foreskin is tight and cannot be fully retracted. This can sometimes affect ejaculation. I recommend you try using a topical steroid cream like Betamethasone to help loosen the foreskin. As for the slight curvature of your penis, it is likely not related to your pant wearing style and is quite common. To improve your chances of ejaculating, you can try using medications like Sildenafil before sexual activity. If these issues persist, it would be best to consult with a urologist for further evaluation and management.

Can guys feel when sperm is coming out?

What you calls âspermsâ (properly called spermatozoa) are microscopic and so it would be impossible for a male to feel them

I'm trying to figure out the best time to take dutamax 0.5 dutasteride tablets. Is it better to take them at night, or does it not really matter? I've heard different things and I'd just like to get it straight. Any advice?

Dutamax 0.5 (dutasteride) can be taken at any time of day, with or without food, but it's recommended to take it at the same time every day for consistency, and nighttime is a common choice to establish a routine and minimize potential side effects like dizziness.

I've been dealing with some weird side effects from years of masturbating, like joint pain, weaker bones, hair fall, especially around my shoulders which feel weak, and fatigue, and even some pain in my lower back and abs. I stopped for a month, but this morning I had an episode in my sleep, and now I'm back to feeling weak with bone pain and fatigue. What should I do? Any advice would be really helpful right now.

It sounds like your body is reacting to the strain of frequent masturbation. It's important to listen to your body and give it time to recover. Focus on staying hydrated, eating nutrient-rich foods, and getting rest. If symptoms persist, consider speaking to a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
