Brief Answer:
yes it healthy

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I would answer your queries kindly read along.
1. For premature ejaculation i would like to suggest you a method which is called as start and stop method. In this while your are reaching the climax state you stop the action or masturbation and pause. Let the feeling of climax go away. Once you feel you do not want to ejaculate then restart the action until you again reach climaxand repeat the stopping method again. By this you will surely prolong your problem of premature ejaculation.
2. Masturbation is a natural process to relieve pf the pent up sexual urge or energy. It is completely normal natural and healthy. But overdoing it won't be harmful for your health but for social and career life. You need to restrict yourself to 3 or 4 times a week which is ok. Try doing other things or hobbiesthat you have to divert yourself. If you have a wife then increase your sexual frequency or if you have a girlfriend then same can be applied. It will not have any harm on your health at all.
I hope i have answered your query well.
If you have any more query kindly write back to me will be happy to answer them.
Thank you

Thank you Doc .
I would like ask a follow up question for point no 1 . Although I did not know about it but tried the start n stop process . However , it creates two difficulties
A . While I stop to stop ejaculation - irrection of penis goes down - which takes of the entire mood
B . During sex , if I stop from a particular posture - partner have a chance to get upset because she is also trying for orgasm .
Just to know - what is the natural time duration of sex
Thanks

Brief Answer:
natural time is around 3- 5 mins

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for following up with me.
In start and stop method you should pause for maximum 5-10 secs only. that much time is enough for loosing out the urge to ejaculate. You should not wait till the erection is lost or the mood of your partner is lost. Very short break of even 5 secs can help you loose the urge to climax. As climax happens due to continuous excitation and ends with ejaculation. So if you break the continuity of the excitation momentarily, the climax will be lost. But you wont loose the erection nor your partner will loose the mood.
It will take time to master this method and some trial and error methods. But this is the safest and healthiest method for this.
Natural time for actual sex excluding the foreplay is about 3-5 mins. But you can extend it by start and stop method. Also too long activity is tiresome for partner too.
I hope i have answered your query well. If you have any more questions kindly write back to me.
Thank you

Detailed Answer:
Hello, thanks for following up with me.
the group of medicines you are referring to are called aphrodisiacs. I do not have idea about any herbal preparations but can enlist you few natural ones which have same effect.
1. chocolates
2. garlic
3. onions these food stuffs are good for increasing sex drive.
One medication available is viagra which contains sildenafil but it has side effect of headaches and low BP. But it is potent and only for males. Not to be used by females. But as you are already patient of hypertension taking meds for the same just consult your doctor once about use of viagra.
I hope i have answered your query well. If you have any more questions kindly write back to me.
Thank you
