Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.

Your penis size is within normal limit.

Metoprolol can cause erectile dysfunction as side effect but it is very rare (0.01-0.1%). No need to worry about that if you are taking since 3 years and no side effects.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

When I think for XXXXXXX in very hard it get not very hard I think that is performance anxiety due to which and sometimes my mood is good for sex it is very hard and I have enjoyed full last week with very hard erection

Answered by Dr. Chintan Solanki (18 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
it is good that you are aware

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for follow up. It is good that you are aware about performance anxiety. it is possible. You do not have major problem. I would like to mention about performance anxiety.
Sometime due to fatigue, lack of mood, situational problem or environmental changes man can fail in sex. It is normal phenomenon. However when this failure makes person apprehensive about erection, sex life is affected. This is called performance anxiety. After such failure when person actively thinks about erection or success of intercourse during sex his mind is likely diverted to such thoughts. For constant erection continuous exciting/romantic/erotic feelings should be there in mind. If mind diverted to concern about erection, erection would not be possible.

To get rid of performance anxiety help of partner is also an important aspect.
Whenever you go for sex, spare enough time in foreplay. You should not think actively about erection, your mind must be occupied with sexual/romantic feelings. During foreplay your partner should try to arouse you and note that your penis gets erection or not. When she feels that penis is sufficiently erect she herself should try to put erect penis in vagina gradually and you should continue your foreplay feelings without being conscious about erection. You must try to enjoy and only enjoy. Once penis is able to enter in vagina and strokes starts it is easy to complete successful sex.

If your partner is not aware about this situation you can do on your own. You just should try to do sex without being conscious about erection. Enjoy without thinking of your ability of maintaining erection and you will succeed or not.

All the best and wish you good health.

Hello doctor,

I have one more concern and want to ask,whether masturbation lead to problem

general I daily masturbate and not feet very hard on daily basis I found very hard sometimes but hard not very hard all time.

Just want to know what is normal hardness so that I can stop worrying on this .

Answered by Dr. Chintan Solanki (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
masturbation does not cause any problem

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for query.

First of all clarification about masturbation.

Masturbation is natural and normal thing. It is done by 95% of the males in the world, mostly before marriage as well as when wife is away, in menses or pregnant after marriage. It is not at all harmful. Frequency of masturbation done by an individual varies from once a day to once a week. It depends upon individual libido, wish and timing. It neither causes any weakness nor any problem in sexual activity.

Erection depends on many factors: age, time of the day, fatigue, stress, mood of self and so on. Your erection sometime is very good means you do not have any physical problem at all. Occasional less hard erection is not a problem it is normal phenomenon.

Hope this answers your concern.

Wish you good health.

so when we are consisous about erection that we would not erect correctly or erection does not happen lead to not erection is it normal

Answered by Dr. Chintan Solanki (29 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
yes it is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Yes you guesses it right. When someone consciously think about erection while masturbation or sex brain circuit for erection is not able to work properly and good erection will not be there.

Enjoy masturbation or sex without active thinking about erection and keep your mood romantic while doing so.

Take care.

Hello doctor,

if I stop masturbating for 10 days it will cause any effect as I have read use it or loose it

Answered by Dr. Chintan Solanki (3 hours later)

Brief Answer:
not at all, you can stop masturbation for 10 days without problem

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I appreciate that you are clearing your doubts.

Stooping masturbation for 10 days does not cause any problem. Even stopping the same for few months is not all problematic. Body can resume process again normally without any problem.

It is possible that if you stop masturbation for long semen may come out on its own when seminal vesicles are filled up completely. It can happen during sleep, passing urine or toilet.That is totally normal.

All the best.

Hello doxtor,

today I am not in moond of sex and try masturbate and not able to erect my penis and my penis shrikages due to anxiety and fear of erection I jave try many time in day and not able to erect after watching porn and got very much fear waht to do to relax so that I can able to achieve erection

Answered by Dr. Chintan Solanki (11 hours later)

Brief Answer:
avoid masturbation for 2 days

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Sorry for delayed response.

You yourself mentioned that you were not in mood of sex. Sex or masturbation is not only physical activity it also requires relax mind. You have actively tried much for erection and you were concentrating on erection while enjoying so brain circuit for erection cannot work well during apprehension and erection would not be feasible.

Just avoid masturbation for 2 days. After that when your mood of sex is there, you feel excited, and your mind is relax go for masturbation. Even at that time do not think about erection. Just try to enjoy and you will succeed.

All the best.
