Want to know if my penis is normal

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi i am 19 years old now. I just want to know if my penis is in good condition. I have only had sex once where i had a bb with a condom like 2 years ago. I have been masturbating heavily 2 to 3 years back and currently trying to control after seeing my meatus looking abit swell at the left side of it compared to the right. But I do not think i have uretheritis cuz i have like no symptoms like itchiness or burning sensation and due to safe sex i would say i do not have stds as well. But I would like to know if it is normal for my meatus to be like this and i would not need to be scared if somebody does a bb. If my meatus has an issue wat solutions should I do. Should i try stop masturbating for one month, should i buy any cream that would help. I just do not want my w*****g lifestyle have a strain on my sex life as well. In the past I have had bad hygeine now I am trying to practice good hygeine. Thanks for reading and hope u can help me and have a good day!imageimageimageimageimage

      AHAHA what a coincidence, when the realisation hits late i guess but if you have a yeast infection i can try creams like clotrimazol.. dont know if the spelling is right. I guess if it is not irritating means its nothing wrong. But as of now I am trying to control masturbation to see if the swelling changes.

    There would not seem to be a particular issue with your meatus, what you have going on could simply be the way it has naturally developed - if you want a specialist opinion on that go see a urologist.

    Really, you recognise what it is that you need to address, such as getting your frequency of masturbation under control - if you are not already, try days where there is no masturbation happening, so take a complete day, or maybe 2 day break, and vary what you do - brief sessions and longer periods, and suchlike

      currently i have stopped masturbating for 5 days and i dun really see a major difference hence it might support the fact that it could be the way it has naturally developed. Thanks for the reply, appreciate it! but now wld be a bit more cautious like just to be safe

      So that you are aware: the skin on the head of the penis is quite unlike skin elsewhere on the body.

      In practical terms this means that when the skin is compromised in some way the process of healing can often take much longer and the conditions need to be right for this to happen.

      Really there are at least two stages to this: initial repair and a longer period in which the health or quality of the skin improves back to what it should be, or, has the potential to achieve.

      I have personally see situations where you would think, anywhere else on the body and it would be fully sorted, and even no scarring, for example in 12 to 18 days - this equates on the head of the penis to probably, most often 3 to potentially up to 9 months.

      So for example, removing the natural friction of masturbation or sex would only be really productive after 3 months as a minimum, in many circumstances ...

      so the example u used, if i was to start using lube for masturbation would that be ok! alongside the fact that i still control masturbation

      The problem with Lubes is it is impossible to know which of them can cause issues for your penile skin.

      Best things to use are natural based ones such as Liquid Coconut Oil that is for use on skin, rather than specifically for hair.

      A bottle would last quite a long time as all you need is a very light coating .....
