QUESTION

Dear Doctor,
is there any relation between erectile dysfunction and mastrubation?

REPLY

Masturbation never causes any side effects whatsoever even if a person believes he has begun early in childhood, for long time, too much.

After masturbation means friction on penis skin in a manner that increases excitement until there is orgasm and discharge of semen.

In all male, after discharge of semen there is a ‘time interval’ called the ‘refractory phase’ when even in presence of sexual excitement erection does not happen.

This is not called erectile dysfunction. Not getting erection immediately after sexual intercourse or masturbation is like taking pause to rest so that the tissues and sexual system can restart later.

Masturbation done early in life or any time is not a cause of Erectile Dysfunction.

I hope it answers your query.

QUESTION CONTINUES

Dear doctor,
thanks from your letter,I think that my problem is more psychological than physical.
For example when I am watching porno films (that I watch always when I have time, and it’s my hobby) I have a good erection.
Even I have upto 20 or 30 minutes full ererction.But when I face the real sex( which I had not more than 4 times in my life) I can’t get erection.
So please let mew know if my guess about this problem is right, or I have another problem?
And please show me the solution.

Best Regards

PROBLEM SOLVED
Hi,

Your guess about the problem is accurate.

But when I face the real sex( which I had not more than 4 times in my life) I can’t get erection.

This is performance related where anticipation of possible failure can (not always) cause difficulty in erection. The severity depends upon the extent to which you are conscious about assumed possibility of not being able to do sex while you indulge in sex.

And please show me the solution.

Your solution is in your query itself.

I have a good erection. Even I have upto 20 or 30 minutes full ererction

The above sentence means your sexual apparatus is fine.

Example
You are like a student who has prepared very well for his exams, but some amount of tension remains while you actually go to give your exams. When you sit to write the answer paper everything goes smooth because you are well prepared. The surest and safest method that prepares you for sexual intercourse is masturbation. Be confident because you have direct evidence of good erection in your own hand.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions or issues.
Best regards,
