QuestionHitting puberty, I was very self-conscious of uncontrollable, seemingly constant erections. Starting in 6th grade, I used masking-tape to tape-down my penis (and subsequently, my testicles). I continued this through junior high school, then in my high school years, I would wear extremely tight briefs, 3-at-a-time, again to keep my erections depressed. I continued wearing adolescent-sized briefs, in layers, through my 20's. (Due to extreme shyness, I did not have sex until my 40's.) I found my soul-mate and am now considering children with her. Could this activity of taping-down my penis, and wearing extremely tight briefs, permanently and detrimentally affect my sperm health and sperm-production?
AnswerI have never had this question before so I would advise you to talk to your doctor about this. I would also encourage you to consider marriage before continuing your sexual relationship. Let me know what you think and find out from the doctor. Thanks.
