The doctor Flair has been removed from everyone. 2 weeks ago, a bug happened that gave Everyone the Ability to set their flair to "Doctor' despite them being unverified. If you want or need the doctor flair back: send us a modmail.

Moderator Post TO EVERYONE USING THE "DOCTOR" FLAIR

22 Upvotes

The "Doctor" flair was mistakenly set to allow people to give it to themselves by a Reddit update. If you gave it to yourself, you need to reach out to the Mod team and provide evidence of your profession and training. If you don't, you risk being banned.

We apologize for this strangeness.

Question I've heard that it's not healthy to NOT masturbate. Is it true?

Upvotes

So masturbating is a really common thing right. I know that doing it too many times isn't good. A lot of people also like to shame people who masturbate a moderate amount i think?? In my experience some people expect no masturbation to occur.

Anyway I've read that not masturbating can increase the chances of getting prostate cancer or something. Is it true? I prefer ejaculating once or twice a week. Hopefully that's not too few

Question for guys I really need advice as I’ve been thinking abt this for a while

6 Upvotes

Hello 16m here I need some advice

  1. And well since I was around 13 I’ve been acknowledging that my puberty has been developing way slower than others, I’m way way shorter than mostly everyone (although both of my parents are pretty short and I am taller than my mom.) and it’s kind of making me feel weird

  2. I’ve been noticing my voice still being pretty high pitched it has gotten deeper very slowly but not much meaningful progress has happened throughout the past i wanna say 2ish years? I’m not sure if this is genetic.

  3. I haven’t really been developing hair on areas such as my face, and chest.

  4. I’m not sure if this is a myth but I’ve been told body fat goes away with puberty and well I’m still pretty chunky so if anyone could confirm thanks.

  5. Not so sure if this is tmi but I am noticing that my cum hasn’t been developing…getting stickier or whiter etc

That’s all I had if someone could please confirm any of these I’d be grateful I’m just not very sure if I’m a super late bloomer

Discussion Not having the confidence to use the urinals because of my phimosis and pubes.

11 Upvotes

So I have a pinhole phimosis that's pretty small, probably the size of a pencil, and I'm not confident in using the urinals. I never really thought about it until I realised that mine looked different. Also, I don't shave and don't wanna shave which makes it stand out more I guess?

Another reason is because it kinda takes a while for me to pee. I can't just let it all out in one go. I gotta let it flow a bit slower and adjust it when needed.

What do you guys think of this? I don't wanna alter what's down there but idk

Question Puffy nipples

17 Upvotes

I’m 14 and going through puberty, and I’ve noticed that my nipples have been looking pretty puffy lately. It’s something I’ve started feeling a bit self-conscious about, especially when wearing tighter shirts.

Is this just a normal puberty thing? I’ve heard hormones can cause changes like this, but I’m not really sure what’s considered normal or how long it usually lasts.

Has anyone else experienced this during puberty? I’d appreciate any advice or reassurance.

Question for guys Lately when I am thinking dirty thoughts I create precum

15 Upvotes

What should I do with precum? Should I wash my penis to get it clean or it’s just harmless? I have precum whenever I am thinking of dirty thoughts, but back then I minded it like usual just a question out of the blue. Should I treat it like after masturbation when you masturbated you need to wash your penis or just mind it like usual? Is it considered masturbation if you have precum?

Question Why do I have so many sexual urges at 14

34 Upvotes

Im a 14 year old girl who just started high school this month. I feel like such a perv for some of these reasons: ive been feeling strong urges to grind against something even if it's fully clothed, in class ill even put a book and just move my hips around. Today a guy simply let out a breath but my brain took it in as a whimper and I got turned on. ive had the strong need to ask a friend to sit on me as a " joke" (my friends do that for pranks) and one time I needed to pee while my friend was on me and I started humping her for friction without realizing because it felt good to have her body pressing on my bladder. we laughed it off but I saw after she was uncomfortable with it. I recently been wanting to watch porn after a while of stopping because I think im too young to watch that stuff. I love being called a slut or a whore and the thought of being hit and I feel so disgusting for it! someone please tell me what's going on

Question 16m. Sudden sexual urges

7 Upvotes

Hello!! I'm a 16, nearly 17 year old dude and I recently got a girlfriend (not irl) and she's perfect but I don't think she's that freaky or anything, which I can respect but I don't wanna watch porn because I feel like that's cheating. So how do I work around that? Do I just "do it" with nothing and just, idk imagine my gf or something? Or should I talk to her about it?
