Question:
i am a 14 year old male who has been masturbating for 3 years. I was wondering if masturbating affects you in the long run? also, is it normal to have a brown line across the shaft area of my penis. also, is it normal to ejaculate after a minute of masturbating?

Yup, everything you asked is normal, thank goodness right?! Masturbating doesn't do anything to your long term health except make you live longer and have a better time while you're living! The brown line you are talking about around your penis is the area where the prepubescent penis was located and the lighter color of the penis, towards the head, is the new penis growth. If you are talking about the sqiggly line underneath the head of your penis, it probably is your frenulum, a very senstive spot, usually the 2nd most sensitive on the males body. As for ejaculating in about a minute once you start masturbating, yup, one minute is completely normal. It's not a race though! Take some time in the shower while you are suddsing everything up (don't get soap in your pee-hole, urethra, though) and mess around with yourself. Try to extend the time from one minute to three minutes. If you teach yourself to come within one minute, that will generally be the amount of time it takes you before you ejaculate when you are with a partner. Train your body to last longer and the benefits will be fabulous! Image that great feeling lasting longer than it already does. So, go forth young man and enjoy! Thanks for writing in- Megan Andelloux
