I've been wondering about a few things and wanted to get your advice. I'm curious if a penis size of 12-13 cm is considered good for sex, and are there any natural ways to increase size? Also, I tend to release sperm quite quickly, often within a minute, and I wonder how I might control that better. Does masturbation actually make your penis size smaller? I'd love some recommendations on foods that could help with penis enlargement and improving sperm health. Is it okay to shave regularly down there, and I also spend a lot of time nude at home; could that be harmful in any way?

I've been feeling really anxious lately because after masturbating a few days back, my penis and testicles suddenly felt numb the next day. I went to see a doctor, and they checked everything and said there's no issue, but I'm still worried because it feels like my testes are kind of lifeless. Can someone tell me what might be going on?
