Question
Is it normal that when I masturbate urine comes out instead of semen? Will this happen when it is time to have sex?
I have little red bumps that form around the base of some of the hairs on my ankles. I used to pull out hairs on my ankles, but the hair would grow back. Could doing that have caused these bumps? Often the hairs will fall off when a bump has formed around it long enough and it's sometimes itchy. What should I do?
Answer
The urine-like liquid coming out when you masturbate is pre-ejaculate, which is a liquid that men secrete along with semen. It is completely normal and happens every time you masturbate or have sex. The bumps on your ankles are probably a small amount of inflammation in the hair follicles. You may want to show them to your doctor to see if he or she can recommend a medication to help with the irritation.
