Question
Hi, I have developed somewhat of a habit since I started masturbating regularly at about maybe 13. I am now 17. When I masturbate I find it as some sort of a burden to have to 'clean up' after myself as some times I do not have the time or have to be extremely quiet. So I started tightly holding the end of my erect penis the moment I start to ejaculate. Because the tract is on the immediate underside of the penis, tightly holding it blocks the semen from coming out. I still feel the orgasm and all just no mess. I am wondering whether this is physically harmful to me?
