Some questions about masturbation?
Since I stopped masturbating last year due to some urinary tract infections, I experienced rapid ejaculation after resuming.
Increasing the frequency of masturbation (starting from three times a day) gradually alleviated these issues.
However, after a 10-day trip without masturbation, I encountered the same situation again upon returning.
I would like to know if my condition is truly premature ejaculation, or if experiencing rapid ejaculation after a period of abstinence from masturbation is a normal phenomenon.
Will this be considered abnormal when I have a regular partner in the future?

In medical terms, premature ejaculation is not defined by the duration of masturbation.
Excessive self-stimulation may lead to inflammation, and repeated inflammation can cause changes in the tissue, making it difficult to return to normal.
It is advisable to maintain both physical and mental health, as these conditions may gradually improve over time.

More Info
Understanding rapid ejaculation, especially after a period of abstinence from masturbation, can be a complex issue that involves both physiological and psychological factors. It’s important to note that what you are experiencing may not necessarily be classified as premature ejaculation (PE), which is typically defined as ejaculation that occurs with minimal sexual stimulation before, on, or shortly after penetration, and causes distress to the individual or their partner.
When you resumed masturbation after a hiatus due to a urinary tract infection, your body may have reacted in a few ways. First, the period of abstinence could have led to a temporary increase in sensitivity. After not engaging in sexual activity for a while, the body can become more responsive to stimulation, which might result in quicker ejaculation. This is a common experience and does not necessarily indicate a long-term problem.
Increased frequency of masturbation, as you mentioned (up to three times a day), can help desensitize the body over time. This means that as you continue to engage in sexual activity, your body may adapt, and you may find that you can last longer. However, this is not a guaranteed solution for everyone, and individual experiences can vary widely.
Your experience during your trip, where you abstained from masturbation for ten days and then experienced rapid ejaculation upon resuming, can also be explained by the body's natural responses. Just as with the initial period of abstinence, your body may have become more sensitive again after a break, leading to quicker ejaculation upon resuming.
As for your concern about future sexual relationships, it’s important to remember that many factors can influence sexual performance, including anxiety, stress, and the dynamics of the relationship itself. If you find that rapid ejaculation persists and becomes a source of concern or distress, it may be beneficial to explore techniques to manage it. These can include:
1. Behavioral Techniques: Methods such as the "stop-start" technique or the "squeeze" technique can help you gain better control over ejaculation.
2. Mindfulness and Relaxation: Reducing anxiety through relaxation techniques can help improve sexual performance. Anxiety about performance can often exacerbate issues like rapid ejaculation.
3. Consultation with a Healthcare Provider: If the issue continues to be a concern, speaking with a healthcare provider or a sex therapist can provide tailored advice and potential treatment options.
4. Communication with Partners: Open communication with future partners about sexual preferences and concerns can alleviate pressure and enhance the sexual experience.
In summary, what you are experiencing may not be classified as premature ejaculation but rather a normal physiological response to changes in sexual activity. As you continue to engage in masturbation and potentially sexual relationships, your body may adjust accordingly. If concerns persist, seeking professional advice can provide further clarity and support.
