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've been having this issue where every time I get sexual feelings, there's this white jelly-like stuff leaking from my penis, and I feel a burning sensation. It's not just down there but in my legs too, and my body feels hotter than usual. I had intercourse about 10 months ago, got an infection, and even though that got better after 5 months, these symptoms started showing up. The burning in my legs is really bad, and I can't figure out what's going on. I've seen a bunch of doctors, but nothing's worked. Can you help me understand what might be happening and what I should do about it?
