I'm wondering if masturbating too much can cause impotence. I can only get an erection when something is being done to my penis, and I have a hard time keeping it up. I can ejaculate though. I watch porn and get aroused, and I keep fit by going to the gym every day. I don't have any other health problems, so should I be worried?

I've had a circumcision about 20 days ago, and I'm starting to get worried about the incision scar. Is there any cream that can help with scar removal, or are there any other options you would recommend to get rid of the scars?

-I'd advise you to be patient with the healing process, as scars can take several months to improve. Keeping the area moisturized and protected from sun exposure is key to minimizing scarring.
