Masturbation issues?
Previously, I didn't understand and often experienced a lot of pleasure from masturbation, sometimes 1 to 2 times a day.
Currently, I find that just rubbing can be very stimulating, and I can even ejaculate before achieving an erection.
I've been trying to space out my attempts to every 4 to 5 days or every other week, but the situation remains the same, and I feel it's quite problematic.

Hello: In your situation, it is important to approach it with a calm mindset.
Masturbation and sexual intercourse are two different matters, and the effects caused by masturbation may lead to premature ejaculation.
Pay attention to your physical health and try not to put too much psychological pressure on yourself, as this can hinder recovery.
You may want to wait and see for 2-3 weeks.
Wishing you good health.

More Info
Ejaculation issues related to frequent masturbation can be a complex topic, often intertwined with both physiological and psychological factors. It appears that you have been experiencing a change in your sexual response, particularly with premature ejaculation and heightened sensitivity. This can be concerning, especially if it affects your sexual satisfaction or confidence.
Frequent masturbation, especially when done excessively, can lead to a few physiological changes. One of the most common issues is the development of a condition known as "premature ejaculation." This occurs when a man ejaculates sooner than he or his partner would like during sexual activity. In your case, it seems that even the act of rubbing can lead to ejaculation, which may indicate heightened sensitivity or a conditioned response due to frequent stimulation.
There are several factors that could contribute to your situation:
1. Physiological Adaptation: The body can adapt to frequent stimulation, which may lead to a lower threshold for ejaculation. This means that over time, the body may become more sensitive, and the ejaculatory reflex can be triggered more easily, even with less stimulation.
2. Psychological Factors: Anxiety or stress about sexual performance can exacerbate issues with ejaculation. If you are worried about your ability to control ejaculation, this anxiety can create a cycle that makes the problem worse. It's important to address any underlying psychological factors that may be contributing to your concerns.
3. Frequency of Stimulation: Masturbating multiple times a day can lead to desensitization, where the body becomes accustomed to the stimulation and may respond differently during sexual encounters. Taking breaks, as you mentioned, can help reset your body's response, but it may take time to see significant changes.
4. Physical Health: Overall health can impact sexual function. Factors such as hormonal levels, cardiovascular health, and even diet can play a role in sexual performance. If there are underlying health issues, they may need to be addressed to improve your sexual health.
To address your concerns, here are some recommendations:
- Practice Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Engaging in mindfulness or relaxation exercises can help reduce anxiety related to sexual performance. Techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga can be beneficial.
- Consider Behavioral Techniques: Techniques such as the "stop-start" method or the "squeeze" technique can help you gain better control over ejaculation. These methods involve pausing stimulation before ejaculation or applying pressure to the penis to delay ejaculation.
- Consult a Healthcare Professional: If your concerns persist, it may be helpful to consult a healthcare professional, such as a urologist or a sexual health specialist. They can provide a thorough evaluation and discuss potential treatment options, which may include therapy, medication, or other interventions.
- Limit Stimulation: As you have already started to do, spacing out your masturbation sessions can help. Consider setting a schedule that allows for longer breaks between sessions to help your body reset.
- Open Communication: If you are in a relationship, discussing your concerns with your partner can help alleviate some of the pressure you may feel. Open communication can foster understanding and support.
In conclusion, while frequent masturbation can lead to changes in sexual response, there are various strategies you can employ to address these issues. It's essential to be patient with yourself as you work through these changes, and seeking professional guidance can provide additional support and resources. Remember, sexual health is an important aspect of overall well-being, and addressing these concerns is a positive step toward improving your sexual experience.
