This is actually a really good discussion because it’s something a lot of guys experience but don’t talk about. Too much friction, whether from dry skin or overuse, can definitely cause irritation and even small cuts. The good news is that the body is great at healing itself, but the bad news is that if you don’t give it enough rest, you can end up with recurring problems.
Something that’s helped me personally is making sure my skin is always hydrated. If you’re masturbating frequently, your skin can dry out, just like any other part of your body that gets rubbed too often. Using a mild moisturizer or even a small amount of baby oil after showering can keep your skin more resilient. Dry, cracked skin is way more likely to get injured, so it’s all about preventative care.
Another trick I’ve learned is to be mindful of grip strength. A lot of guys subconsciously hold too tight because they want maximum stimulation, but that’s where a lot of the problems start. Instead of squeezing like your life depends on it, try to relax your hand and focus on different types of movement. Variety keeps things feeling better and also reduces the risk of overuse injuries.
For now, just let things heal, and don’t mess with it too much. It’s tempting to check or touch to see if it’s getting better, but that can slow down the process. Give it a few days, keep it clean, and before you know it, you’ll be back to business as usual.
