Issues Related to Sexual Activity and Herbal Products


Hello Doctor, I am 25 years old and I am a guy who watches adult content and masturbates daily.
I recently had the opportunity to develop a sexual relationship with a girlfriend, but I have two questions for you.

1.
I am unable to maintain an erection until ejaculation.
The duration of intercourse is about 30 minutes, but I often lose my erection before ejaculation.
Sometimes, when I try to penetrate, I become flaccid, and I can only ejaculate with the help of manual stimulation from my partner.
Is this due to masturbation causing increased sensitivity and insufficient endurance? Should I consider purchasing products like Viagra?
2.
My penis measures only 9.5 cm.
A Russian colleague recommended that I use Titan Gel.
Doctor, do these products really have the effect of increasing size?

Hello:
1.
I am unable to maintain an erection until ejaculation.
The duration of intercourse is about 30 minutes, but I lose my erection before ejaculation.
Sometimes, when I try to penetrate, I become flaccid.
The only way I can ejaculate is with the assistance of my partner through manual stimulation.
Doctor, could this be due to masturbation causing sensitivity issues and insufficient endurance? Should I consider purchasing products like Viagra? --> It is advisable to consult a physician first, as there may be vascular issues involved.
Using medication blindly could worsen the situation, so it is more reasonable to undergo some evaluations first.
2.
My penis measures only 9.5 cm.
A Russian colleague suggested that I try Titan Gel.
Doctor, do these products really have the effect of increasing size? --> I do not recommend using such products.
If they were highly effective, they would likely be incorporated into mainstream medical practice by Western medicine.
Wishing you good health.

Sexual performance issues can be a source of significant distress for many individuals, particularly young men who may feel societal pressure to perform. Your concerns about premature ejaculation and erectile difficulties are not uncommon, and it's important to approach these issues with a comprehensive understanding of both psychological and physiological factors.

Firstly, regarding your difficulty in maintaining an erection during intercourse, this can be attributed to several factors. Psychological aspects, such as anxiety or performance pressure, can significantly impact sexual performance. The fact that you mentioned you often find yourself losing erection before ejaculation suggests that anxiety might play a role. This is sometimes referred to as "performance anxiety," where the fear of not being able to perform leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Additionally, excessive masturbation, particularly if it involves a high frequency of watching pornography, can lead to changes in sensitivity and arousal patterns. This can create a disconnect between what you experience during solo activities and partnered sexual experiences. The brain may become conditioned to respond to specific stimuli that are not present during intercourse, leading to difficulties in achieving or maintaining an erection.

As for your question about using products like Viagra (sildenafil), it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any medication. Viagra can be effective for erectile dysfunction, but it does not address the underlying psychological factors that may be contributing to your issues. It is crucial to explore these underlying causes with a professional who can provide tailored advice and possibly recommend therapy or counseling to help manage anxiety and improve sexual performance.

Regarding the use of products like Titan Gel, which claim to enhance penis size, it is important to approach such claims with skepticism. Most of these products lack scientific backing and are often marketed based on anecdotal evidence rather than rigorous clinical studies. The effectiveness of topical gels for penis enlargement is highly questionable, and many such products can even cause irritation or allergic reactions. The average penis size is often misrepresented in media, and many men worry unnecessarily about size. It is crucial to remember that sexual satisfaction is influenced by many factors, including emotional connection, communication, and technique, rather than just size.

If you are considering herbal remedies or supplements, it's important to research their efficacy and safety. Some herbs, such as ginseng or maca root, are often marketed for sexual enhancement, but scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness is limited. Always consult with a healthcare professional before trying new supplements, as they can interact with other medications or have side effects.

In summary, addressing sexual performance issues often requires a multifaceted approach. It is advisable to seek guidance from a healthcare provider who can help you explore both the psychological and physiological aspects of your concerns. Therapy may be beneficial in addressing performance anxiety, while a medical professional can provide insights into any underlying health issues that may be affecting your sexual performance. Remember, open communication with your partner about your experiences and concerns can also foster intimacy and understanding, which can enhance your sexual experiences together.
