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'm a 19-year-old guy and I've been masturbating for about six years, but lately, especially in the last year, I've been doing it more frequently. Now, I've noticed that my penis seems smaller than it used to be and I'm getting stressed about it. Is there a way to get my size back? Could too much masturbation affect my size? Would appreciate any advice or help.

Masturbation doesn't directly affect penis size, but frequent or aggressive masturbation can cause temporary swelling, bruising, or penile fatigue, creating an illusion of shrinkage; to alleviate concerns, consider reducing masturbation frequency, practicing gentle techniques, and focusing on overall physical and mental well-being, including exercise, healthy diet, and stress management.
