Too much masturbation?

---

On the underside of my dick on the center, it's a bit red from tip to balls, not quite sure if it's just from masturbating a lot or what, but =/

Welcome to A2A, kekk.That part of your penis is where the corpus spongiosum runs. That is a tube of erectile tissue that contains the urethra and widens out at the end to form the head. It doesn't get as hard as the two tubes of corpus cavernosum on top of it, but still usually when erect it forms a ridge on the underside. Perhaps that ridge is getting more friction than the rest of your skin; or perhaps it's just that your skin is transparent enough for the colour of the corpus spongiosum to show through?

If there are no other symptoms or problems it's probably just, whatever the hell Ineligible called it, showing through. If they is other shit going on as well you might give wanking a rest for a few days and see if gets better. If it does than to much friction on the underside may be the problem.

Are you using any kind of lube? lotion?I get that sometimes when I have a reaction from something I used as lube in a pinch.... keep it clean, and dry for a few days and it should go away

Hey Ineligible! Isn't there also a natural darker line that runs on the skin right in the middle along the bottom side of the penis? (I was gonna write "along the bottom side of your penis", but I guess I mean on the bottom side of EVERYBODY'S penis!) I think it has to do with when we were developing from an embryo our body parts like came together along that line and somehow fused together? Like this is sort of a SEAM our body has, and it happens to run right along the bottom of our penis? And in some people it doesn't come together all the way to the top and then it's like they get a huge pissing hole at the tip or something like that?? I think that same like or seam runs all through our scrotum and then between our legs all the way to our..."butt opening"?

(I am always SO IMPRESSED with what "Ineligible" knows and I have learned so much from him!)

ScottP14"(I am always SO IMPRESSED with what "Ineligible" knows and I have learned so much from him!)"Me too ScottyP.... Me too!

Thank you Scott! Not just for your kind words, but for reminding me of something I hadn't thought of at all. It may indeed be that kekk is noticing the raphe.

kekk, the raphe is exactly as Scott describes - the seam along which the two halves of your penis and scrotum joined in utero. Its visibility varies a lot in different people. It's more often visible on the scrotum when it's cold, when it often appears as a ridge along the centre. On the penis it may not be visible at all, or as a line, or as a ridge (much narrower than the corpus spongiosum).

Thanks again, Scott!

It should be mentioned that for a few days after conception, we are basically female in form, and that the raphe is where the two sides are fused, as the male develops in utero. That fusion doesn't happen to females, which is why their genitals retain that original separation, as a genital slit.

You are right on the point there kory........That fusion normally happens in the 6th week of pregnancy where all the organs including sex organs start to form and hormones like testosterone and androgens are also produced. This is where the Y chromosome starts its work.

A little trivia :wink: ........that ridge/seam is also where young boys were cut open in ancient times and were used to look after the women in harems/palaces, as they could not keep an erection and even if they could have an erection they couldnt plant their sperm in any of the women's womb and impregnate them.

Yeowch, seriously! The things people did, and in cases, still do, sometimes it's unbelievable.

I read somewhere that a few hundred years ago, I think it was even the Vatican that if you were a very good boy singer they would CUT YOUR BALLS OFF so you wouldn't go thru puberty and your voice wouldn't change! How sick was that!!

Though ancient times are interesting to study/research............they really were some weird times

How sick was that!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castrati This explains it. Yes, people in the past did a lot of weird shit. Come to think of it, they still do.

Well its sorta prevails even today in few parts of Asia and Africa........some even cut and sew the women's genitals when they are still babies its a pretty horrifying act its under female circumcision in wikipedia. It gave me the creeps.
