I'm really into fitness and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular gym workouts and a balanced diet. But I'm kind of worried about something that I haven't found a clear answer for. Does masturbation more than twice a week have any negative effects on my health? And if I do it on consecutive days, is that harmful in any way? Just trying to understand if it's affecting my fitness journey or overall health in any way.

my penis is under 5 inches and i want to make it bigger but i don't want surgery or anything with side effects what can i do

Non-surgical options like vacuum pumps or extenders offer minimal, often temporary gains. Be cautious of scams. Counseling may help if body image is affecting confidence.

I'm really struggling with something personal and could use some advice. I find that I'm not getting erections with my wife, but I do with other women. It's been bothering me a lot, and I'm really curious about what might be causing this. Do you think it's something that can be worked on or improved? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

When my penis is normal size I can pull the foreskin back easily but when it gets bigger it hurts to retract it is this normal or should I use some kind of lubrication instead of surgery

If foreskin pain occurs during erection, use of steroid creams or stretching may help; surgery is considered if unresolved.
