Specializes in Psychiatry

This is excessive: If you have no contact with herpes - you will not get herpes from masturbating. You may become raw from excessive friction. Spending this much time masturbating means you will likely miss out on other activities - like interactions with other people, sports, etc.

Why do i keep getting pimples on my penis after masturbation? The pimple is usually on a hair and has a thick white almost solid pus followed by some clear liquid. They don't itch or hurt and aren't tender. Can this be herpes?
