I'm a 22-year-old guy and I'm having a bit of a situation. My foreskin doesn't seem to retract on its own when I'm erect, and I can't really pull it back manually either because it's too tight. I can pull it back fine when I'm not erect though. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

It sounds like you have phimosis, which is a common condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully during an erection. Regular gentle stretching exercises with a steroid cream prescribed by a doctor can help, but if it persists, consult a urologist to discuss further options like a minor surgical procedure (circumcision or preputioplasty).

Last night I was having intercourse and somehow ended up doing it between his legs. I felt a burning sensation and when I woke up this morning, I noticed two burns on the head of my penis. Ive been using aloe vera gel for now but I'm a bit worried. What could this mean and what should I do next?
You may have experienced some irritation or friction burns during intercourse. To help with the healing process and reduce discomfort, you can continue using aloe vera gel. Additionally, you can also consider using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid any further irritation until the burns have healed. If the burns worsen or do not improve, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

How many times should a person urinate per day?
Most people urinate between six and eight times a day. But if you're drinking plenty, it's not abnormal to go as many as 10 times a day.
