Posted on Thu, 18 Jun 2015
Question: I have 2 cuts/sores under the tip of my penis .. I have only been with 1 sexual partner for the past 1 year and 8 months and she was tested and does not have any sexual diseases .. I do masterbate 4-5 times a day and I caused the skin to rip from masterbating .. I went to a clinic and the doctor said he was 75% sure it was herpes .. are you able to get cuts etc from over masterbation ???
