View allHey, I'm a 14-year-old guy and I've been going through something weird recently. Every time I masturbate, I get these super sharp, cramp-like pains in my stomach. It lasts for about a minute or so, and if I move around too much, I get the pain again but it feels like it's moving up towards my chest. I usually do it every day, so I'm kinda worried and wondering what's going on. Any idea what this could be?
Overexcitement_: Rushing into intercourse can lead to premature ejaculation. 2. _Lack of control_: Insufficient practice in controlling ejaculation can contribute to the issue. 3. _Performance anxiety_: Fear of not satisfying your partner can exacerbate the problem. _Solutions_ 1. _Practice relaxation techniques_: Regular relaxation practices, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation, can help reduce anxiety and improve control. 2. _Exercise pelvic floor muscles_: Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles through Kegel exercises can help improve ejaculation control. 3. _Use the "stop-start" technique_: During intercourse, stop when you feel close to ejaculation, wait for 30 seconds to 1 minute, and then resume. 4. _Try the "squeeze" technique_: When you feel close to ejaculation, squeeze the base of your penis or the head of your penis to delay ejaculation. 5. _Consider counseling or therapy_: A sex therapist or counselor can help you address underlying issues and develop strategies to improve your sexual performance. 6. _Topical anesthetics or delay sprays_: Certain products, like lidocaine or benzocaine sprays, can help reduce sensitivity and delay ejaculation. _Remember_ 1. _Communicate with your partner_: Openly discuss your concerns and work together to find solutions. 2. _Practice patience and persistence_: Overcoming premature ejaculation takes time and effort.

I'm pretty worried because during sex I accidentally cut my frenulum and it bled quite a bit. The bleeding stopped after a while, but it's been a couple of days now, and I feel pain when my penis gets hard. It's strange because the pain comes and goes throughout the day, but there's none when I pee or otherwise. I read somewhere that I shouldn't panic and it might heal on its own in a few weeks, but I'd really like to know if there's any medication or treatment I could use to recover faster. Any advice would be really helpful.
Based on your description, it sounds like you have experienced a frenulum tear. To help with the pain and promote healing, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen. I recommend taking ibuprofen 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area twice a day can help prevent infection and aid in healing. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. In case of persistent or worsening symptoms, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been regularly having oral sex with my wife and I'm wondering if it's safe. Are there any precautions we should be aware of?
Oral sex with your wife is generally safe if both of you are healthy and practice good hygiene. It's important to ensure both partners are free from any infections or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Regular dental checkups and using barriers like dental dams can help reduce risks, along with maintaining open communication about sexual health.
