Concerns Over a Mistake During Masturbation
18-year-old male here. I apologize for any slightly inappropriate content, but I’m seeking clarity on a situation that has me feeling uneasy. While I was engaging in masturbation, I unexpectedly reached orgasm. In an attempt to control the situation, I squeezed the tip of my penis to prevent fluid from releasing. However, upon inspecting, I found that nothing had come out. This has left me worried—I’m anxious that I might have caused some harm or made a mistake that has obstructed the release of my semen. Should I be concerned about this? I'm feeling somewhat paranoid, fearing that I might have blocked a crucial passage or something similar.

It's understandable to feel uneasy about your experience, but let me reassure you that what happened is generally not harmful. You likely did not cause any permanent damage. Here’s a breakdown of the situation and what you can do moving forward.
Key Points:
- Squeezing the penis during orgasm is a common reaction, but it usually does not block the passage; it can just temporarily affect the flow.
- Some men experience moments where no semen is expelled, which can happen due to various reasons, including anxiety, physical tension, or simply variations in bodily function.
Explanation:
When you orgasm, the body goes through a series of muscle contractions that typically lead to ejaculation. If you squeezed the tip of your penis, it might have disrupted this process, but this is generally not dangerous. The sensation of not having any semen released can occur occasionally, especially if you are feeling anxious or tense.
Next Steps:
-
Relaxation: Focus on calming your mind and reducing stress. Anxiety can affect sexual function, so try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or mindfulness.
-
Observation: Pay attention to your body during future sexual activities. If you notice that your concerns continue—like persistent difficulty with ejaculation—or if you experience pain, then it may be worth reflecting on further.
-
Open Discussion: If this experience causes you ongoing worry, consider talking openly with a trusted friend or a healthcare professional who can provide reassurance and personalized insights.
Remember, it’s completely normal for experiences like this to happen, and they don’t usually indicate a serious problem. If any new symptoms arise, don’t hesitate to reach out for guidance.

Understanding the White Particles in My Stool
I'm a 28-year-old female and currently do not have any diagnosed medical conditions. For the past two months, I've been taking 20mg of citalopram daily. Recently, I’ve been experiencing frequent stomach problems, particularly watery diarrhea several times each week. On occasions when my stool is firm or merely soft, I've noticed these small white particles resembling tiny balls. Additionally, I’ve observed longer white strands that are similar in size to grains of rice. Upon wiping, I've found what appear to be seed-like particles on the toilet tissue. I may share images separately to provide a clearer idea of what I'm referring to, but please note that they are a bit unpleasant.
How to Eliminate Widespread Warts
Thirty years old and living in Hungary, I have a history with colitis and receive infliximab treatment for it. I lead a healthy lifestyle, steering clear of cigarettes and alcohol, and I have a fair complexion. Approximately a decade ago, I first observed several flat, skin-toned growths appearing on the backs of my hands and fingers. These growths do not itch or exhibit redness, and they seem to grow at a gradual pace. Upon consulting a dermatologist, I was informed that these were warts, although the specific type wasn't clarified. I’m assuming they are flat warts. The doctor prescribed Verrumal, which helped eliminate some of the warts; however, as time passed and my colitis became more problematic, I paid less attention to these skin issues. Fast forward ten years, and I’m now dealing with numerous warts all over my body. They have spread to my palms, chest, neck, lower arms, and even my feet. While not extremely noticeable, they create a rough texture on my skin that I find quite unappealing. Is there an effective method to completely remove all these warts? Spot treatments seem impractical given the extensive coverage of the warts on my body.
