A member asked:
What is inside the head portion of penis is it just flesh or are there any nerves and if present will those nerves get damaged by overmasturbation ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Masturbation: Masturbation is a normal and common part of the human experience. Your penis anatomy consists of tissue, tubing, nerves, etc. There is no negative health or medical consequences to masturbation. Now that does not mean that overdoing it won't lead to abrasion, swelling, and some loss of sensation. But rest should restore those things to normal if they occur.
