    Question

    I'm 15 and have been masturbating for about a year, just a few days ago when I ejaculated the tip of my penis was burning for a few minutes (I forget how long 30 seconds to 10 minutes). What could this be? I have already searched for it on other Web sites but cant find it exactly.

    Answer

    It is most likely a mild irritation of the head of the penis caused by friction. Be sure to use plenty of a water-soluble lubricant such as K-Y Jelly.
