But the thing is, after I climax my penis gets really swollen and it'll go back to normal the next day. That's one of the reasons why I don't masturbate much. I don't why it does that. I thought maybe because my foreskin is too tight, it barely passes past my head when I'm hard. The frenulem gets too tight. So I've been thinking of the option of getting a circumcision, not now because I'd never talk to my parents about this, I'd wait till I'm on my own. But what do you think about getting a circumcision? Should I?And about my penis being swollen... do you guys know why it does this now, and not years ago when I first discovered masturbation? Has it ever happened to any guys out there? Do you guys use lube to masturbate and do you think it'll help? Would natural lubrication help too? (saliva/persons mouth) I'm just kind of worried about it. And I'm sorry if I have so many questions jammed packed into one. Please consider answering.

 I don't want to start a flame war, but please disregard the comment from MickeySanchez and follow the advice of CaringGuy instead.
I'm no urologist, but I have successfully owned and operated a penis for half a century.
It's NOT NOT NOT normal, and the only possible deleterious effects of frequent masturbation in men of which I am aware are irritation (you wore the damned thing out) temporary disinterest in sex, or in extreme cases, non specific (or non-gonococcal) urethritis.
Of these, NGU is the only actual medical condition, and it's also caused by excessive booze or soda intake. It's just a way of saying the urethra is irritated, but you don't have the clap.
The notion that masturbating more than once a day is the root cause is laughable.
I'm over 50 and I still masturbate at least twice a day - typically, it's a three-peat.
When my wife was still sexually active, it was 1-2/day.
Masturbation is healthy and normal, and you appear to have a medical condition that is precluding you from what is normal sexual activity for males your age.
My advice: first, talk to your father.
Believe it or not, he masturbates too.
Based on the era in which he was born, he's probably cut, and isn't aware of your problem.
Explain to him that when you jack it, it hurts afterward and is swollen until the next day.
I betcha he has you in to the doc with a quickness.
If not, you can take matters into your own hands and look for a Men's Health center in your town.
You don't have to tell them much over the phone, just that you have a problem with your penis hurting.
I can't speak to the decision to circumcise or not at your age - it's really a matter of personal preference.
You *may* need to use lube.
I know lots of guys won't whack it without lube, but I've never used it.
Like I said - I'm no expert on grub worms, but my limited lay understanding is that it does sometimes bind to the point where normal sexual activity is difficult or impossible.
Why is this a problem now and not earlier?
Well, you're a Big Boy now.

But DO seek medical attention.

 If you mean that you are still erect all that time, it is called priapism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priapism) and is dangerous; see your doctor as soon as possible because permanent damage to your penis could result.
The usual advice is that if an erection lasts for more than four hours, you have a problem needing medical attention.
