Patient's question:
My boyfriend used to have a 3-5 year history of masturbation. Could it cause a decline in sperm vitality, male sexual aging, and genital shrinkage? My current boyfriend's penis seems relatively small when flaccid but becomes quite large when erect. Is the difference between individuals really that significant? Additionally, sometimes when we're intimate and things get heated, he doesn't wear a condom and has sex inside. Later, I found out that my period was normal. This is really frustrating! I'm scared of getting pregnant, but I'm also scared of not getting pregnant! Regarding sex, we've always followed the "seven days before and eight days after" rule, meaning it's considered safe during the seven days before and eight days after menstruation. This is something we heard from others, but I don't know if it's a medically reliable safe period.Doctor's answer:
Hello: What you said is very correct. The penis is very large when erect, which is a physiological need. You don't need to worry about masturbation—it won't be a problem.
