Masturbation issues?


Your question: Can congenital premature ejaculation be delayed by frequent masturbation? Or will ejaculation still occur quickly during frequent masturbation? Response from the physician: Urologist Dr.
Sun Hong-shun suggests: Hello, you are only 18 years old; is the diagnosis of congenital premature ejaculation too heavy? If this is truly the case, frequent masturbation will not delay ejaculation.
In fact, it may ultimately lead to physical and mental exhaustion due to the inability to ejaculate.

Thank you, doctor, for your response.
The reason I mentioned this is that I rarely go more than two days without masturbating.
Whenever I go more than two days without it, I become very sensitive and ejaculate quickly.
Masturbating once a day is generally manageable for me.
That’s why I’m so concerned about whether I might have a problem with congenital premature ejaculation.

Hello: If you are able to control it once a day without any issues, then there is no problem with congenital premature ejaculation.
"Really, really" don't worry about it.
Based on what you described, it seems that you are just very young and easily "burning with desire," especially when you haven't engaged in self-stimulation for two consecutive days, making it harder to resist (of course, the amount after two days will definitely be more than after one day, just like a full glass of water is prone to overflowing).
Enjoy your youthful vitality at 18 years old and don't overly stress about this matter.

More Info


Frequent masturbation is often discussed in the context of sexual health, particularly concerning issues like premature ejaculation (PE). Premature ejaculation is defined as a condition where ejaculation occurs with minimal sexual stimulation, often before the individual wishes it to happen. This can lead to distress and dissatisfaction in sexual relationships.

To address your question, frequent masturbation does not inherently help in delaying ejaculation for those who experience premature ejaculation. In fact, for some individuals, the act of masturbation may reinforce the patterns associated with premature ejaculation. When a person masturbates frequently, especially if they are sensitive or anxious about their sexual performance, they may find that they ejaculate quickly during these sessions. This can create a cycle where the individual feels increasingly pressured, leading to heightened sensitivity and quicker ejaculation.

The physiological response during masturbation can vary widely among individuals. Some may find that they can control their ejaculation better when they are more relaxed or when they engage in techniques such as edging (bringing themselves close to ejaculation and then stopping). However, for those with a tendency toward premature ejaculation, frequent masturbation may not provide the desired control and could potentially exacerbate the issue.

It is also important to consider the psychological aspects of premature ejaculation. Anxiety, stress, and performance pressure can significantly impact sexual function. If an individual is overly focused on the act of ejaculation during masturbation, this can lead to a conditioned response where they feel they must ejaculate quickly, reinforcing the cycle of premature ejaculation.

For individuals concerned about premature ejaculation, there are several strategies that may be more effective than simply increasing the frequency of masturbation. These include:
1. Behavioral Techniques: Techniques such as the "stop-start" method or the "squeeze" technique can help individuals learn to control their ejaculation better. These methods involve stopping stimulation before ejaculation and then resuming once the urge has diminished.

2. Desensitizing Products: Some over-the-counter creams or sprays can reduce sensitivity and help delay ejaculation. However, it's essential to use these products as directed and consult with a healthcare provider if unsure.

3. Pelvic Floor Exercises: Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles through exercises like Kegels can improve control over ejaculation. These exercises involve contracting and relaxing the muscles used to stop urination.

4. Counseling or Therapy: If anxiety or psychological factors contribute to premature ejaculation, speaking with a therapist or counselor can be beneficial. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has been shown to help with various sexual dysfunctions.

5. Medical Consultation: In some cases, medications may be prescribed to help manage premature ejaculation. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are sometimes used off-label for this purpose.

In conclusion, while frequent masturbation may not be a solution for delaying ejaculation in cases of premature ejaculation, understanding the underlying factors and employing various techniques can help individuals gain better control over their sexual responses. If concerns persist, seeking professional advice from a urologist or sexual health specialist is advisable to explore tailored treatment options.
