I'm curious about oral activities and I'm wondering if it's safe. Can you catch any diseases from doing it? If there are risks, how can someone do it safely? If not, is it okay to keep doing it?

Oral-genital contact can carry the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as herpes, gonorrhea, or HPV. It's important to practice good hygiene, use protection like dental dams, and ensure both partners are free of infections for safety. If you're unsure, it's best to discuss this with a healthcare provider.

View allI'm really worried because I've been masturbating for about 5 years, and now my penis looks different, kind of out of shape. I'm not sure if this will affect my ability to have kids in the future once I get married. On top of that, my legs have gotten really thin, and I feel pain in all my joints. My testicles are also quite painful. Did I somehow damage my penis? Could you help me understand what's going on?
Masturbation itself does not typically cause permanent damage to the penis or reproductive health; however, your symptoms, such as penis shape concerns, joint pain, thin legs, and testicular pain, may be related to other factors, including over-masturbation, which can lead to temporary issues like fatigue, muscle strain, or inflammation; consider consulting a urologist

I've been wondering about something and could really use some guidance. I'm 17 now, and I've been masturbating for around 2 years. Ive heard that semen contains zinc, and I'm worried if this could actually lower testosterone levels over time. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it just a myth?
No, masturbation does not lower testosterone levels
