You're fine: Most men your age enjoy their bodies around once a day. Anybody who tells you that this will make you short, bald, hairy, smooth, infertile, impotent, unspiritual, antisocial, or stupid is either massively ignorant or deceiving you for their own dark purposes. Don't rush, learn to time your climaxes, and vary your technique to prepare you for different possible partners. Enjoy being a man.
