Regarding ejaculation during masturbation?

I would like to ask why I no longer feel as much pleasure during masturbation as I used to.
Additionally, I often feel the urge to urinate halfway through, which forces me to stop and urinate before I can continue.
The semen I ejaculate also appears yellowish and watery.
These symptoms have persisted for a long time.
My frequency of masturbation is irregular; the shortest interval is every two to three days (which used to be more frequent, but I've reduced it after noticing these symptoms), and the longest is once every few weeks.
Despite decreasing the frequency, why am I still experiencing these issues?

More Info

Changes in ejaculation and urination during masturbation can be influenced by a variety of physiological and psychological factors. Your experience of reduced pleasure during masturbation, the urge to urinate, and changes in the appearance of your semen can be concerning, but they are not uncommon. Let’s break down these symptoms and explore possible explanations.

Reduced Pleasure During Masturbation
The sensation of pleasure during masturbation can fluctuate due to several factors, including:
1. Psychological Factors: Stress, anxiety, or changes in mood can significantly impact sexual arousal and pleasure. If you are experiencing stress in other areas of your life, it may manifest in your sexual experiences.

2. Physical Factors: Hormonal changes, fatigue, or even changes in your physical health can affect libido and sexual pleasure. For example, low testosterone levels can lead to decreased sexual desire and pleasure.

3. Frequency of Masturbation: If you have recently reduced the frequency of masturbation, your body may take time to adjust. Sometimes, a longer gap can lead to heightened sensitivity, while other times, it may lead to a decrease in pleasure.

Urge to Urinate During Masturbation
Feeling the need to urinate during masturbation can be attributed to:
1. Prostate Stimulation: During masturbation, the prostate gland can be stimulated, which may create sensations similar to needing to urinate. This is a common experience, especially if the bladder is full.

2. Bladder Sensitivity: If you have a sensitive bladder or if you are dehydrated, you may feel the urge to urinate more frequently. It’s important to ensure that you are well-hydrated and that your bladder is not overly full before engaging in sexual activities.

3. Anxiety or Distraction: Sometimes, the urge to urinate can be exacerbated by anxiety or distraction. If you are preoccupied with thoughts about your sexual performance or bodily functions, it may heighten your awareness of the urge to urinate.

Changes in Semen Appearance
The change in the appearance of your semen, described as "yellowish and watery," can be influenced by:
1. Hydration Levels: Semen is primarily composed of water. If you are dehydrated, your semen may appear more concentrated and less viscous. Ensuring adequate hydration can help improve the consistency of your semen.

2. Frequency of Ejaculation: If you are ejaculating less frequently, the composition of your semen may change. Sperm and seminal fluid can become more diluted if there is a longer interval between ejaculations.

3. Infection or Health Issues: A yellowish tint can sometimes indicate an infection or other health issues, such as prostatitis or sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If this symptom persists, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

Recommendations
1. Consult a Healthcare Professional: If these symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider. They can perform a thorough evaluation, including a physical examination and possibly lab tests, to rule out any underlying conditions.

2. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Ensure you are eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and managing stress effectively. Regular exercise and adequate sleep can also contribute positively to sexual health.

3. Monitor Your Symptoms: Keep track of any changes in your symptoms, including frequency, intensity, and any associated feelings. This information can be helpful for your healthcare provider.

4. Consider Psychological Factors: If you suspect that anxiety or stress may be affecting your sexual experiences, consider speaking with a mental health professional. Therapy can provide strategies to manage anxiety and improve sexual function.

In conclusion, while changes in ejaculation and urination during masturbation can be concerning, they are often influenced by a combination of physical and psychological factors. It is important to approach these changes holistically and seek professional guidance if necessary.
