The question

Dear TeenHealthFX,

What would happen if I installed a drain in my testes so that they can never fill back up with semen? Would that reduce my will to masturbate?

The answer

TeenhealthFX strongly discourages you from trying to install a drain in your testes. Not only is it dangerous, but could also lead to permanent damage to your reproductive organs. In addition, teenhealthfx cannot diagnose or trest over the internet. If you are having serious concerns, we strongly recommend reaching out to a parent, trusted adult, or school counselor to support on this matter.
