Masturbation issues


Hello, doctor! Recently, I have to stretch my legs straight while masturbating to feel the urge to ejaculate; when I lower my legs, I feel nothing at all.
Also, is it better to use the foreskin to rub the glans during masturbation, or should I keep the foreskin retracted below the glans?

Xiao Sen, 10~19 year old female. Ask Date: 2022/07/05

Hello, Xiaosen: Feel free to try any position or activity that increases your comfort and pleasure, as there is no right or wrong.
I hope you have an enjoyable sexual experience.

Understanding ejaculation sensation and techniques in masturbation involves a combination of physiological, psychological, and anatomical factors. The sensations experienced during ejaculation can vary significantly from person to person, and changes in these sensations can sometimes indicate underlying issues or simply reflect changes in technique or arousal.

Firstly, the sensation of ejaculation is primarily mediated by the nervous system. The pelvic nerves play a crucial role in transmitting sensations from the genital area to the brain. If you find that you need to stretch your legs or adopt a specific position to achieve the sensation of ejaculation, it may be related to how your body is responding to stimulation at that moment. This could be influenced by factors such as muscle tension, blood flow, or even psychological states like anxiety or distraction.
When it comes to masturbation techniques, both methods you mentioned—using the foreskin to rub against the glans (the head of the penis) and retracting the foreskin—can be pleasurable, but the preference often varies among individuals. Some men find that using the foreskin to create friction can enhance pleasure, while others may prefer the sensation of direct contact with the glans. The key is to explore what feels best for you.
If you are experiencing a significant change in sensation or difficulty achieving ejaculation, it might be worth considering a few factors:
1. Physical Health: Conditions such as diabetes, hormonal imbalances, or neurological issues can affect sexual function and sensation. If you have any underlying health conditions, it may be beneficial to discuss these with a healthcare provider.

2. Psychological Factors: Stress, anxiety, or changes in mood can impact sexual arousal and sensation. If you are feeling anxious or distracted during masturbation, it may affect your ability to achieve the desired sensations.

3. Technique and Comfort: Experimenting with different techniques and finding what feels most comfortable can enhance your experience. If you find that certain positions or methods yield better sensations, it may be worth incorporating those into your routine.

4. Hydration and Lubrication: Sometimes, dryness can lead to decreased sensation. Using a lubricant can enhance the experience and make it easier to achieve pleasurable sensations.

5. Consulting a Professional: If you notice persistent changes in sensation or ejaculation that concern you, it may be beneficial to consult a healthcare professional. They can provide a more thorough evaluation and help identify any potential underlying issues.

In summary, the sensations experienced during ejaculation and masturbation can be influenced by a variety of factors, including physical health, psychological state, and technique. It’s important to explore what feels best for you and to seek professional advice if you have concerns about changes in your sexual function. Remember, sexual health is an important aspect of overall well-being, and addressing any issues early on can lead to better outcomes.
