So my girlfriends husband has had this a couple times in the last few months.. She has talked to me about it asked me if my husband and I have ever experienced it.. But we haven't so I am at a loss to even offer any advise other than for him to go see a doctor....which as we all know.. men just don't do all that willingly expecially when dealing with the neather lands.. - So the best she could describe it was that while she was stroking him he felt what he said was like a a "pop" and then a small amount of pain..When they looked he had a small tear on the side just below his glands that had started to bleed a little.. apparently the first time it happened it took close to 3 weeks to heal completely ( while using a polysporn cream).. then about 2 weeks after healed it happened again but to the other side!.. Has anyone had this.. or have any adivse? She said she never dry strokes him and always has plenty of lube - cause that was my first opinion.. maybe just too dry and it torn a bit .. but with lube being used.. it just don't make any sense.. Only has happened while stroking.. never during intercourse.. Anyone?

Well, that skin in the area just below the glans is similar to the skin of the eye lids and the skin of the areola, It is very thin and more that likely in the case of a hand job even with lube it simply tore from stretching too much. It does not take a lot of tension to tear that type of skin.

The use of the polysporin ointment is actually why the healing was delayed for so long. If you just keep the wound clean and wash with soap and water it will heal. The first thing to do when the tear occrs is to pinch the skin together and hold it that way for a few minutes so the edges are approximated. That type of skin is hard to repair even with the right instruments as it is so thin.

Good to know about the Poly!.. Would have thought it could actually hinder the healing process...
As for the skin in that area being high senstive/delicate.. Thats a givin.. But I for one know that I am maybe not always the most gentle with my husband.. he doesn't always want a nice slow for lack of a better term fluffy duffy hand/blowjob.. he likes it a lil rough sometimes too.. So it kinda freaks me out that if this could happen to her husband with no vigorous stroking whatso ever.. what the hell. I'm just going to yank my hubbies junk right off one day lol.. Eek! lol jk!

Used to get abraded skin right below the crown if I jacked off to hard and fast without enough lube. Learned to not do that. It takes a while to heal since you're always stretching the skin by getting hard.

There times when i jackedoff so much in one day that i would rub a small raw spot on my cock. Boy, does that hurt if u rub again while strokin it. You have to be very careful to avoid that raw spot next time u jackoff,

As a very heavy masturbator, I've had issues with skin tears over the years. Yes, polysporin helps and also, once the tear happens, you just need to be gentle. Last time it happened to me, I switched to using my fleshlight for a few days, pumped my cock slowly as possible to porn, and used alot of lube.

I agree about the tearing and I have also had veins pop. That's no fun, haha. When you are a chronic, compulsive masturbater like me, those things happen.
