Brief Answer:
masturbation is safe thing
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.
First of all I want to clarify about the 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. No need to worry about your habit of masturbation.
According to DSM - 5 definition, ED can be diagnosed when person fails most of the time (say more than 50%) in last 6 months during intercourse. You are able to masturbate that means there is no major issue.
Yes smoking and alcohol affect erection in long run. You have stopped just since 4 days. it will take 8-10 weeks to clear them completely from your body if you have taken for more than 1 year.
As your problem is more psychological, L-arginine will help. No need of taking pycnogenol.
Continue work out and healthy diet.
Give yourself rest for 1 week and regain sexual activity without any apprehension about erection. You will succeed for sure.
Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
