What Causes Pain At Base Of Penis While Masturbating?

Posted on Thu, 11 Dec 2014

Question: when I masturbate, I have a dull,ache at the base of my penis. No burning,itching,or pain when I urinate. Seems that the head of my penis is redder than usual.
I`ve been keeping it rubbed with some of my wife`s lotion.
Seems like the pain has now moved to the area under my scrotum.
Should I worry?
