I'm 26 and still a bachelor and a virgin. I've been worried because I've got this habit of masturbation, and I'm curious if it might affect my ability to have kids in the future once I get married. Could this be a problem for me later on?

Masturbation is a normal and healthy activity that does not cause infertility or affect your ability to have children in the future. If you have concerns about fertility, focus on a healthy lifestyle and consult a doctor for reassurance or further guidance.

I'm having this issue where every time I get an erection or after having sex, my penis seems to crack at one particular spot. It heals after a few days, but then it just happens again the next time. Is there any cream or solution I could use to prevent this from happening?

The recurring cracks on your penis, particularly in one position, during or after erection, may be caused by a condition called penile fissures, which can be painful and may lead to bleeding or infection; applying a topical cream or ointment, such as petroleum jelly, aloe vera gel, or a fragrance-free lubricant, may help soothe and protect the affected area

It sounds like you might be experiencing mild inflammation or discomfort in your testicle. This could be due to various causes like infection, inflammation, or injury. I recommend seeing a doctor for a proper evaluation to rule out conditions like epididymitis or orchitis and to get the appropriate treatment.

I'm just kind of curious, how often is it considered safe to masturbate in a week? Like, I dont want to overdo it or harm myself in any way. Is there such thing as a limit I should be aware of? Hope you can help clarify this for me.

There is no strict "limit" for masturbation; it varies from person to person. Generally, it is safe if it doesn't interfere with your daily life, relationships, or responsibilities. Moderation is key, and if you feel any physical discomfort or emotional distress, its worth discussing with a doctor.
