I'm wondering if applying olive oil every day to the penis and glans might lead to a loss of sensation there. Just a bit worried and curious about the possible effects it could have. Could this actually make the area less sensitive over time?

Daily massage with olive oil on the penis and glans is unlikely to cause a sensationless penis. However, excessive or improper use of any oil or substance could potentially lead to irritation or sensitivity issues. It's important to consult a healthcare provider if you experience any unusual changes or discomfort.

I'm thinking about using Emla cream to help with premature ejaculation, and I saw it contains lidocaine and prilocaine. Is this safe to use for this purpose? I'm just a bit concerned and would like some advice on whether it's a good idea or if there are any risks I should be aware of.

Emla cream is not typically used for premature ejaculation. It is a topical anesthetic cream commonly used to numb the skin before certain medical procedures. For premature ejaculation, medications like dapoxetine (Priligy) can be more effective.

I'm 25 and I've never masturbated before. I'm wondering if this is normal and if it might lead to any sexual or prostate issues in the future. Also, what would be a healthy frequency for masturbation?

It's completely okay if you haven't masturbated; there's no right or wrong when it comes to personal habits. Not masturbating will not cause sexual or prostate issues in the future. The ideal frequency varies for each person, but the key is whether it feels comfortable and healthy for you. If you ever have concerns about sexual health, it's a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.
