Ejaculation Control: The Impact of Masturbation Frequency

Masturbation and premature ejaculation issues?

I have been masturbating since I was very young, usually about once a day, and sometimes even twice a day.
Typically, 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, during which I do not masturbate, my first session after the trip is almost instantaneous, with ejaculation occurring very quickly.
Gradually, I return to my usual state.
It seems that my endurance is developed through daily masturbation, and after three days without it, I revert to my original condition.
Am I what you refer to as a "quick shooter"?
I also have another question: if someone is a "congenital premature ejaculation patient" due to poor serotonin receptor function, would they experience premature ejaculation during masturbation regardless of how frequently they do it? Is there a relationship between frequency and this issue? I hope you can clarify my doubts.
Thank you!

This question has been raised before, and I have already informed you that there is no issue.
Even if your questions have answers, they will not alleviate your concerns.
From a doctor's perspective, the key point is whether treatment is necessary.
Currently, you do not have any need for treatment; you are simply worrying in advance.
If you encounter any problems in the future, you can consult a doctor to address them appropriately.

Understanding ejaculation control and its relationship with masturbation frequency is a topic that intertwines both physiological and psychological aspects. Your experience of noticing a significant change in your ejaculation timing after periods of abstinence from masturbation is not uncommon and can be explained through several mechanisms.

Firstly, frequent masturbation can indeed help individuals develop a certain level of control over their ejaculation. This is often due to the repeated exposure to sexual arousal and the practice of managing that arousal, which can lead to improved endurance during sexual activities. When you masturbate regularly, your body becomes accustomed to the sensations and the timing involved in the process, which can translate into better control during sexual intercourse.
However, when you abstain from masturbation for a few days, your body may experience a buildup of sexual tension. This tension can lead to heightened sensitivity and a quicker response during subsequent sexual activity, which may explain the phenomenon of "premature ejaculation" or "秒射" (quick ejaculation) that you experience after a break. Essentially, your body is reacting to the increased arousal and sensitivity that comes from a period of abstinence.

Regarding your question about whether this makes you a "快槍俠" (quick shooter), it's important to note that many factors contribute to ejaculation timing, including psychological factors such as anxiety and excitement, as well as physiological factors like hormonal levels and nerve sensitivity. If your experience of quick ejaculation is primarily linked to periods of abstinence, it may not necessarily indicate a permanent condition but rather a temporary response to changes in your sexual habits.

As for the question of whether individuals with a genetic predisposition to conditions like early ejaculation (such as those with serotonin receptor issues) would experience similar challenges regardless of their masturbation frequency, the answer is nuanced. While regular masturbation may help improve control for some individuals, those with inherent physiological differences may still face challenges with ejaculation timing, regardless of how frequently they engage in masturbation. This is because their body may respond differently to sexual stimuli due to their unique neurochemical makeup.

In conclusion, your observations about the relationship between masturbation frequency and ejaculation control highlight an important aspect of sexual health. Regular masturbation can indeed help improve control over ejaculation, but periods of abstinence can lead to heightened sensitivity and quicker ejaculation. If you find that this issue is causing you distress or affecting your sexual relationships, it may be beneficial to consult a healthcare professional or a sex therapist. They can provide personalized advice and strategies to help you manage your concerns effectively. Remember, sexual health is a complex interplay of physical, emotional, and psychological factors, and seeking guidance can help you navigate these challenges more effectively.
