I masturbate a lot. Like I mean, A LOT. But sometimes I don't have lotion and I just jack off with my hand. But sometimes I use spit. But recently I've been using vinegar because it's the only thing I had handy, and now I have this painful rash on my penis. I think it might be from the vinegar, but my friend tells me that it might be because I jacked off like twenty-six times a day. What should I do?

Vinegar is an astringent and absolutely should not be used as a lubricant. STOP using vinegar now.

Hand lotion if it is scented could also create a problem. The combination if a hand lotion and vinegar on your skin could also be the problem.

You need to use a lubricant designed for sex - or atleast remotely designed for moisturizing.

So now you have a rash and you are going to have to spend some money to fix it up. Go to the store and get gauze - the long strip of gauze that is white and can be called bandage gauze. Buy some bandage tape, You also need to get a first aid (itch or allergy) cream with 1% hydrocortisone. Put the cream on your penis and then wrap it up and tape the end so it doesn't unravel. Skip the masturbating for a week. At the end of the week the rash should be gone and you should be fine.

IF after 3 days of not masturbating and using this cream you see absolutely no change or it gets worse - then you may have severely changed the PH of your skin by using vinegar and developed a yeast infection. Then go buy a jock itch cream and try that for 3 days - wrapping yourself up and still not masturbating for a week.

If on the 7th day you see no improvement - you need to go to a doctor.

While you are at the drug store buying the hydrocortisone cream - buy some lubrication designed for sex - a BIG bottle. Or buy it online- check out my site page http://www.sexsupport.org/toys.html I highly recommend Eros Silcon lube - it lasts a long time for guys who masturbate a lot.

You need to be more careful with the way you treat your penis. There is nothing wrong with masturbating 26 times a day if you are using a good lubrication.

NO MORE VINEGAR!

You masterbate about 26 times a day? That is definitely not normal and will surely leave your poor penis feeling sore. I recommend masterbating only 2 to 5 times per day, if you must. I personally do it maybe once every night or twice a day at most.

Next thing, vinegar as a lubricant? That is one of the worst household lubricants that I can think of, since it is not even slippery and is acidic (5% acetic acid). That is what most likely caused the rash on your penis. You should have came on here and asked Susan about using vinegar as a lubricant before trying it.

Spit generally works fine, if your mouth can produce enough, otherwise, mild handcream is fine too. Lubricants are the best though, since they are designed for this. Susan recommends Eros Bodyglide. Hope your rash clears up.
