Regarding the duration of masturbation?

I have been masturbating since I was very young, typically about once a day, and sometimes even 2 to 3 times a day.
Usually, my masturbation sessions last around 6 to 10 minutes, or even longer.
However, I have been troubled by a particular issue: whenever I return from a trip lasting three days or more (sometimes even over ten days), I do not masturbate during the trip, and after returning, my masturbation sessions are almost instant ejaculation; it only takes a few strokes before ejaculation occurs, and then I gradually return to my usual state.
So, my stamina seems to be developed through daily masturbation, and after three days without it, I revert to my original state.
Am I what you refer to as a "quick shooter"?
I also have another question: if someone has a congenital issue like poor serotonin receptor function, would they experience premature ejaculation even during masturbation, regardless of how often they do it? Is there a relationship between frequency and this condition? I hope you can clarify my doubts.
Thank you!

Hello: DIY and sexual intercourse are different.
Premature ejaculation has its own definition, and individual performance can vary depending on the environment and circumstances.
If it occurs occasionally, such as after a long period without sexual activity, there is no need to worry too much.
However, if it happens consistently, it is advisable to seek medical attention from a urologist.
Wishing you good health.

The phenomenon you're experiencing regarding ejaculation duration and its relationship with abstinence is quite common and can be explained through several physiological and psychological factors.
Firstly, it is important to understand that sexual arousal and ejaculation are influenced by a variety of factors, including hormonal levels, psychological state, and physical conditioning. When you engage in regular masturbation, your body becomes accustomed to a certain rhythm and level of stimulation. This regular practice can enhance your control over ejaculation, allowing you to last longer during sexual activities.
However, when you abstain from masturbation for an extended period, your body may respond differently. The buildup of sexual tension and arousal can lead to a heightened sensitivity when you finally do engage in sexual activity or masturbation. This heightened sensitivity can result in quicker ejaculation, which is what you are experiencing after periods of abstinence. Essentially, your body is not used to the sudden release of sexual tension, leading to what you describe as "秒射" (premature ejaculation).
Regarding your question about whether this makes you a "快槍俠" (a term often used to describe someone who ejaculates quickly), it is essential to differentiate between situational premature ejaculation and chronic premature ejaculation. Situational premature ejaculation, which can occur after periods of abstinence, is not necessarily indicative of a long-term issue. It is a temporary response to changes in sexual activity frequency and arousal levels.

As for individuals who may have a congenital issue with serotonin receptors, such as those with a predisposition to premature ejaculation, the situation can be different. These individuals may experience premature ejaculation regardless of their masturbation frequency. The underlying neurochemical factors, including serotonin levels, play a significant role in ejaculation control. If someone has a naturally lower sensitivity to serotonin, they may find it challenging to control ejaculation, regardless of how often they masturbate.

In summary, your experience of decreased ejaculation duration after periods of abstinence is likely a temporary response to changes in sexual activity. Regular masturbation can help maintain your control over ejaculation, but it is not the only factor at play. If you find that this issue persists or causes significant distress, it may be beneficial to consult with a healthcare professional or a sex therapist who can provide personalized guidance and strategies for managing ejaculation control.
Additionally, if you suspect that there may be underlying physiological issues, such as serotonin receptor sensitivity, a healthcare provider can conduct a thorough evaluation and recommend appropriate interventions. Remember, sexual health is a complex interplay of physical, psychological, and emotional factors, and addressing any concerns holistically is key to achieving a satisfying sexual experience.
