Question : Hey doc, im very worried about these white bumps an my penis. I was just wondering would you be able to tell me what they are. They do not itch or burn. I've had them for about 2 months now or so.

I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have reviewed the images.
These bumps seem like molluscum contagiosum. It is a viral infection. Genital molluscum is a sexually transmitted infection. Lesions are pearly white, dome shaped and asymptomatic.
Treatment of molluscum is ablation with either electrocautery or chemical cauterization with trichloriacetic acid.
