How can I stop masturbation from hurting my dick?

January 20, 2008
I'm a 30 year-old guy who loves to masturbate but now when I do it hurts and my dick gets puffy and swollen. But when this happens I'm still horny and need to masturbate. Help!—Anonymous
My first question for you would be how long and how often are you jacking off? If it's hurting after just a few minutes of jacking off every few days, then there may be a problem. If you're jacking off for hours at a time, that may be the problem! Like any other part of your body, your dick can only receive so much stimulation before it begins to hurt.

How you masturbate may be an issue. Are you using lubricant? Lube eliminates the friction and will help prevent your dick from becoming sore. Also, try buying a few porn tapes of guys masturbating. Watch their techniques and see if you can learn from them. When I first started jacking off I used a style that constantly made the side of my cockhead raw and even slightly bloody. Over time I learned a much better style of jacking off that didn't do any damage to myself.

If the problem persists no matter what you do, schedule an appointment with a urologist and talk to him. He may have some suggestions for you, and at the very least will be able to give you a check to make sure there are no medical conditions exacerbating the problem. You may also want to schedule an appointment to a sex therapist or highly skilled male escort. Both may be able to provide you with some additional insights into solving your issue.—Aaron Lawrence
