Psychiatrist 's  Response
Dear Farooq,
Thanks for writing to healthcaremagic
I got your question and understand the concerns regarding perceived lazy erections. It is very unfortunate to learn that you are facing this problem for last 5 years.
First of all, let me convey you that there is no such thing as excessive masturbation or over-masturbation. Just as 'excess' of sexual intercourse cannot lead to weakness, so also 'excess' of masturbation. This is a natural activity and I would say a 'healthy' activity and does not either affect or deter sexual performance.
Masturbation in private or with a partner is a normal and healthy part of sexual enjoyment. A single act of masturbation on a particular day cannot lead to erection problems. Lack of knowledge causes anxiety.
You said that you consulted many psychotherapists, urologist and some herbal medications. I recommend you to see a trained psychiatrist who is practicing psycho sexual medicine.
There are several causes of insufficient erections. The common reasons are
1. Diabetes (nerve damage and vessels narrowing)
2. Some medicines like anti depressants and anti psychotics
3. Performance anxiety (the most common reason)
4. Psychiatric disorders (depression, anxiety)
5. Alcohol use (nerve damage and testicular injury)
6. Smoking (vessels narrowing)
7. after some surgical procedures (nerve damage).
Let me know whether you achieve and maintain a good quality of erection in sleep, in the early morning, during masturbation but not at the time of coitus? If you are able to achieve and maintain erection in any one of the above mentioned situations than your problem is more likely psychological rather than physical.
There are potential effective treatment options for erectile dysfunctions.
A psychiatrist will help you to find BEST SUITED FOR YOU.
I hope this will help you.
Get well soon. Wish you good sexual health ahead.
