Question:
I am an 18 year old
male
(virgin), and I have been very concerned with several issues with my
penis.
The problem is that I can't figure out how to pose a question to one of
experts in your ask an expert section.
Maybe you would be able to recommend someone to ask as well. The
problems
that I have observed include: severe ingrown hair that grows out of
white
spots (I am not too sure what to do with it and too embarassed to ask
anyone
sorry if that sounds dirty) and when I ejaculate there is not much
being
ejaculated...I recall a "sex with sue" episode where she said that the
regular amount is at least a tea spoon...I do not ejaculate this much
(once
again sorry for the dirtyness)...
what can I do?
Any help would be very appreciated!
Thanks!

There is no need to be embarrassed about asking questions. Sex is a very natural part of life and we need to be able to talk openly about it. Your questions were not in anyway "dirty."
Remember, I am not a dermatolgist, but when you say that the "ingrown hairs" grow out of "white spots," I am thinking they cannot be ingrown since they are growing out! If they are very small hairs burried in the "white spot," then they are ingrown. However, what you describe sounds like something very normal. There are areas on the base of a man's penis and on his scrotum that do not have much fleshy tissue (like on his forearm). The "root" of a course pubic hair would be close to the surface, causing the appearance of a "white spot."
You mentioned shaving... this is unnecessary, a real bother to maintain, and would be a lot harder to explain to a partner than little white bumps! My advice... stop worring about these.
You were also concerned with the amount of your ejaculate. This is a common question. Any report of the typical volume (such as a teaspoon full) is an average, and probably based on a few personal observations rather than a detailed scientific study. Volume, color, and consistency vary among men. There is nothing to worry about. The amount of the ejaculate has nothing to do with the amount of sperm contained in that fluid. You have nothing to worry about.
