What Are the Sensations and Pain Related to Masturbation? - #60216
I am experiencing some weird issues lately. Like, whenever I, um, masturbate, I start feeling these strange sensations pain afterward, which is totally not normal for me. I mean, I always thought it was supposed to feel good, but now it's like this dull ache or something in my lower abdomen. It kinda freaks me out?? Sometimes it feels sharp, and other times just uncomfortable. I tried looking it up online, but all I found was really general stuff that didn't help. This has been going on for a couple weeks now, and I can't shake the thought that maybe I did something wrong or, I dunno, maybe I’m just overdoing it? But I have always thought masturbation was supposed to be a healthy thing. Has anyone else felt this sensations pain? Is there like a reason for it or am I just being paranoid? I really wanna know if this is common or if I should be worried about it because I don't wanna regret ignoring it later or something. Just looking for some insight before I consider going to a doc or even trying to explain it to my friends—so awkward!
