hi, im 16 and my penis works fine, the shape the size. but the problem is that i have little spots on my balls not like the ones on the head shown before. and i have a black lump on my forskin, ive had it for as long as i can remember it may ne a birthmark. is it possible to be one?

Hi im 17, i have a problem pulling my foreskin back both when flacid and erect. I rolled it back for a few days but it was painful and then just went back to "normal" again. Any advice?

Hi im 25 and my ball sack is very tight and when im having sex it almost disapairs is this normal.also my penis is about an inch un-erect and not very fat.But when its erect its only about 5 inches, i'am really embarrassed about this and was wondering can you help me.

i'm 16 and i am worried about my penis. It looks like it has too much foreskin and has a big impact in my sexual life, can you please help me or give me some advice. thanks

im 18 and im circumsized . i have white spots on it and its really worrying me cn u please tell me wat they are

Hi I'm 23 now I have a past of drugs and was sadly told I had anxeity after seeing the doctor about sweating to much. Since stoping drugs this problem has stoped but my qwestion is can anxeity make your penis small for example.. Soft I am about 3 inchs and hard 6 and half, but when I feel worrid or stressed I notice my penis size srinks or feels tight to nearly 1 inch! Same when I urineate it starts to shrink to an inch some times makeing it very hard to urineate.. I have desided to start takeing a herb from the shop called calms in an atemped to relax my penis and possibly help me, I'm to awere that the penis is controled by the nerves system so maybe there's logic to what I'm doin. Advise would be very helpfull as I just think the doctor won't know as she's female and not an exspert.

Hi im 16 years old and i have small white spots all over my penis. I have had them checked out and been told they are very normal however its holding me back from sexual contact with my girlfriend. Is there and cream or treatment which may help with them?

im 18 and i have a very small penis..i have pubic hair but how do i no when im going though puberty..I havnt got any hair on my face buh i do in other part.can u help me please and also that i have a very bad skin on my ball sack and i need to scratch it very badly evrytime.

I cant seem to roll my forskin back fully when erect the skin is very tight,i have no problem pulling it back when flacid.

When ever I come in contact with the head of my penis, it is a unbearable pain. I am only 13, and I am really worried. Also, when ever my penis is erect, I cant pull my fore skin back.
