Serious Question; help!

[vurt7]

ok so I am 17 and have never had sex. I masturbate regularly anywhere from 1-3 a day. but I was working outside and I had boxers and shorts on and when I got home I noticed the head of my penis is red, swollen, and is very sensitive. I have been wearing briefs so it won't move around but if I have boxers on and it rubs it hurts. I have been putting lotion on it because I thought it was just irritated and dry.

EDIT: I dont know if it might be from rubbing on my boxers, also I have been running and I dont think it helps wearing boxers because it can just rub on them alot

hmmmm....well i'm no doctor. but it could be chafing. that fact that its moving around and it hurts may mean a chafe. BUT i absolutely am not saying this for sure. If you are really concerned, bring it up at your next physical, or make a quick appointment with your doctor. They will tell you for certain what is going on.

Hi there,
This doesn't sound serious at all. This is simply the result of masturbating too hard which upsets your skin. Or it could be that you used a lube that upsets the penis. I don't think you have much to be worried about.

Ok. I don't agree with Zenus. I masturbate up to 3 times a day like OP. I'm never red or chafing, and I have never had sex.

Id wait another day or two, stay off your penis, if you catch my drift, and if it doesn't go away, make an appointment with your doctor immediately.

Yea, I would just wait it out a little and then go see a doctor if it is really that painful. If you are a dedicated runner like I am, I run 3 miles a day, and are wearing boxers, that could be a real problem. Try wearing compression shorts when you run. (Not to mention that last year in track a kid wore boxers to a meet, and happened to fall or something, and he had to go to the hospital because his testicles were all wound up and tangled. It wasnt just embarrassing, but it looked like it HURT! all of the guys were shuttering at his pain)

Before you go to he doctor you should check and wait for a few days and see if whatever happens lessens or stops.. If not, you should go to the doctor

Depends how aggressively you do it really. Maybe the OP likes to treat his penis like a prisoner of war, and that is the reason for it being like that at the moment.

I'd say either masturbate more gently, if this is it, or don't masturbate at all..

Otherwise, see a doctor.

Yeah, you might be going at it a bit hard.

[rain]

it might be the type of material the shorts were made of that irritated your skin

[JackOfClubs]

It might be the rubbing of the boxers against it. Or you could just be masturbating too hard. It doesn't sound too serious though.
