I'm 27 and I've been noticing something strange. When I masturbate, my penis gets really tight, but when I'm having sex with my girlfriend, it doesn't seem to get as tight. It's got me super worried. Could you help me understand what's going on?

It's normal for the penis to feel firmer or tighter during masturbation due to different levels of arousal and muscle contraction. During sex, the physical and emotional dynamics are different, which can affect how the penis feels. If you're concerned, consider speaking with a healthcare provider for further reassurance.

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.

My penis curves to the left when it's fully erect and it makes it look shorter than it is. Is there any way to straighten it without surgery?

A slight curve in the erect penis is common and usually not a concern unless it's causing pain or difficulty during intercourse. If the curve is significant, you might have a condition called Peyronie’s disease. Non-surgical options like oral medications, penile traction therapy, or injections (like collagenase) may help—consult a urologist for proper evaluation and guidance.

I've been noticing extra skin around my penis and sometimes there's a white substance forming around it. Is this something that might need surgery to fix or is there another way to handle it? I'm a bit worried about what's going on
