Testicles, prostate, body hair – you name it!
A few months ago I joined a drum corps, which is like a quasi-professional marching band.
Since I joined, I've lost a lot of weight – it's really physically demanding. I've also noticed that my orgasms have gotten a lot more powerful. I feel like I have more energy, and masturbation is wonderful now. Are the orgasms related to the increase in physical activity?

According to JackinWorld, after you ejaculate you're unable to stimulate yourself because you must "recharge."
After masturbating for years, I have found that even after I ejaculate, I am able to continue without hindrance for several minutes and get what I perceive as a second, third, and fourth orgasm, and sometimes more. I was wondering if I am not counting right or have some sort of problem, or if I am just really lucky. There is a point where I cannot go further, but it's as much as 10 minutes after I start to ejaculate.
According to JackinWorld, it's bad to use your thumb or finger to prevent semen from coming out during ejaculation.
So why do you say to go almost to climax and then hold back? (I wait until I feel the "burning" sensation and then hold back.)
After I masturbate I usually need to urinate to get rid of semen that has "stayed behind" in my penis.
I have not had sex yet, but my question is, when I do have sex, will I have to go to the toilet afterwards to urinate? Is this something that normally happens after ejaculation?
After I masturbate, the next morning, I often pee in two or three different directions. Why is that?
It's probably due to remnants of semen that dry at your urethral meatus (me-AY-tus) – the opening at the end of your penis. If there's a flake of dried semen stuck to the skin there, it will break the urine stream and cause it to go in all sorts of directions.
After masturbating for a while now, I've noticed that my triceps have gotten quite firm.
Is this just my imagination, or is masturbation actually a good workout for your arms?
Probably neither – unless your penis is several feet long, you stroke with both hands, and your technique requires as much effort as using a Bowflex or Nautilus, the "workout" from masturbation is negligible. What may be happening is your muscles may just be developing normally as part of the puberty process – this tends to happen even to guys who don't do strenuous workouts. (If you're in your 50s rather than your teens, though, this probably isn't the explanation!)
Are the Cowper's glands just another name for the bulbourethral glands?
In my Human Growth & Development class, my teacher explained that the bulbourethral glands are small and are found on each side of the urethra. Just curious!
Yes, they're the same thing. I'll give you a third term for these same structures: the glandulae bulbourethrales. Here on JackinWorld we just refer to them as Cowper's glands, because that's the shortest and easiest term to remember.
Currently I engage in a lot of sexual intercourse and oral sex – as often as 3 times a day.
I read that it takes 2 to 3 days for the body to produce mature sperm. So, does this mean that since I am not giving my sperm cells a chance to mature, that I don't need to be as worried about getting a female pregnant?
My god, no. There's a constant supply of sperm cells coming down your body's assembly line; your body doesn't wait for an ejaculation to start producing new ones. You can be certain that even if you're ejaculating very frequently, your semen contains sperm cells that are 100% mature. Please use a condom.
Do all males pre-cum? Because I don't.

No. It's common, but certainly not universal.
Do you recommend having pubic-fat-removal surgery to reveal more of the penis?
If so, at what age should be the earliest to have it, how much do you think it will cost, and how effective would it be?
Oh, I'm all for it! Elective plastic surgery to increase the apparent length of the penis by a half-inch or so? What better way to spend a couple of thousand dollars? As for what age is too early, you can never be too young to have fat sucked out of your pubic region! After all, if you wait too long, you might not be able to fit into the chair where they perform this procedure!
