A member asked:
When i masturbate, my skin rubs on my pubic hair and causes a red painful area over time. is there anything i can do to keep my skin from irritation?

Friction Burn: 2 things that could help. One, you could use lotion or lubricant to reduce friction when sliding back and forth over the area. You might also, if agreeable to you try to trim the hair in the area (shorter hair will not pull as much) or even try shaving that one little area or the hair so it isn't caught. You could stop masturbating but there's no fun in that solution!
