Hello: 1) It should not be the case.
2) Moderate daily exercise and ensuring adequate sleep may help; observe for 1-2 weeks to see if there is any improvement.
Continuous masturbation to reduce sensitivity is not something I recommend.
3) Since this is not sexual intercourse, it cannot be classified as premature ejaculation.
4) It is absolutely unrelated.
5) I am not sure where you learned this, but I do not recommend you continue.
As for whether it will cause sensitivity, it's really hard to say.
Wishing you good health.

More Info

Your concerns regarding changes in sensitivity and sexual function after a period of abstinence from masturbation are quite common, especially among young individuals. Let's address your questions one by one while also providing some context and understanding of the physiological and psychological aspects involved.

1. Increased Sensitivity and Premature Ejaculation: After a prolonged period of abstinence, it is not unusual to experience heightened sensitivity in the genital area. This can lead to quicker ejaculation during sexual stimulation. The body can become more responsive after a break from regular sexual activity, which may explain why you feel that you are reaching orgasm more quickly than before. This heightened sensitivity is a natural response and can vary from person to person.

2. Restoring Original Sensitivity Levels: If you wish to decrease sensitivity and prolong the duration before ejaculation, gradually reintroducing masturbation can help. Engaging in regular, controlled masturbation may help your body readjust to the sensations and potentially normalize your response over time. Techniques such as edging (bringing yourself close to orgasm and then stopping) can also help in building stamina and control.

3. Is This Premature Ejaculation?: Premature ejaculation is typically defined as ejaculation that occurs with minimal sexual stimulation and before the individual wishes it to happen. If you find that you are consistently ejaculating within a very short time frame (like under a minute) and it is causing you distress or affecting your sexual relationships, it may be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. However, given that you have recently abstained and are experiencing changes, this may be a temporary phase rather than a chronic condition.

4. Back and Waist Pain: The discomfort you are experiencing in your back and waist may not be directly related to masturbation but could be due to various factors such as posture, physical activity, or even anxiety. If you have been more sedentary during your abstinence, this could contribute to muscle tension and discomfort. Engaging in regular physical activity, stretching, and maintaining good posture can help alleviate these symptoms.

5. Effects of Prostate Stimulation: Engaging in anal examinations or prostate stimulation can lead to changes in sensitivity and sexual response. The prostate is a sensitive gland, and stimulation can affect how you perceive sexual pleasure and ejaculation. However, it is unlikely that this alone would cause the changes you are experiencing. If you are concerned about any lasting effects, it may be beneficial to consult with a healthcare provider who specializes in sexual health.

In summary, the changes you are experiencing are likely a combination of physiological adjustments following a period of abstinence and possibly psychological factors related to anxiety or expectation. Regular, mindful sexual activity can help you regain a sense of control and normalcy. If these issues persist or cause significant distress, seeking advice from a healthcare professional, such as a urologist or a sexual health specialist, would be a prudent step. They can provide personalized guidance and support tailored to your specific situation.
