Does Excessive Masturbation Lead To Erectile Dysfunction?
Question: I m suffering from ED.Which i think is due to masturbation excess.I m able to work properly during masturbation but during sex im loosing erection during penetration.Can you help me to get a solution
Brief Answer:
Erectile dysfunction is due to Psychological issues
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing through HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concerns.
Excessive masturbation is not responsible for your erectile issues. Masturbation is normal habit and up to 90% of young boys practice it but all of them do not have erectile problems.
Losing erection while sex is because of distractive impulses. Most common distractive impulses are because of stress and anxiety.
Anxiety because of past failures in bed, poor partner satisfaction, conflict with partner, stress at job, financial issues etc. all can cause psychological erectile dysfunction.
I here suggest you to stop thinking about poor erection and make a new beginning. For control of anxiety you can perform yoga, meditation and exercises.
Spending more time in foreplay will help you maintain erection for longer time. Sex is more than just penetration. It involves identifying the sensitive areas in your partner and concentrating on it. During penetration also foreplay should continue. Your partner can help you maintain erection by doing oral sex or masturbation.
You are not weak and you do not have any sexual weakness. You feel weak because you think you are weak. Eat healthy food like eggs, fruits, leafy vegetables.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have further query then I shall be happy to help.
Wish you good health.

However i have read about ED where mind gets accustomed to Porn or masturbation arousal and hence during sex its difficult to get aroused. How do i get sure if this ed is not physical problem?I have tried less stress and good sleep before meeting my gf and still failed last 2 times in 2 months.Should i consult a sexologist?
Brief Answer:
That is what you need
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing again.
Whatever I have told you, is the part of sexual counselling and therapy. You need a consultation to sexologist.
Getting accustomed to something is a conditioning behavior that is governed by person's mind and more specifically psyche. If a person does the same behavior repeatedly then he gets accustomed to it. The same thing is happening to you, you said that. But as long as you think you have problems, problems will not go.
I just wanted to suggest that You do not need drugs. What required is just the change of thinking and behavior. I feel you should meet a sexologist and discuss all of these in person with him.
Hope I have answered your query. If you do not have further query then close the discussion and rate the answer.
