    Question

    I masturbate, sometimes 4-5 times a day. Recently I've noticed the shaft of my penis seems firmer (when not erect) than before. Is this normal? Has masturbation made it messed up?

    Answer

    Four to five times a day actually IS a problem. I would consider this a form of compulsive disorder; and I advise you to confide in your own doctor for some help.
