This question is related to one of my friend. He is doing masterbate 3-4 times in a week from last 2 years. He never did masterbate before this. Now he find that foreskin of his penis has been loosen to some extent and he finds he has to masterbate with hand to get erection.
Doctor, Is it a psychlogical factor?
He is going to marry in this december 2014. He is afraiding that what will he do after marriage.
Doctor, Will he able to do intercourse after marriage or regain the firmness or hardness of the penis if he stops or does not do masterbate for next 3 months till his marriage ??
According to me it can not be a erectile dysfunction because if it was a erectile dysfunction then he would not be able to get erection with hand. According to me it's a psychlogical factor.

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your friend is indulged in masturbation very frequently since 4 years and now facing problems related to sexual activities.

Please note that to masturbate is common at the age of adolescence and it is one of the safest way of getting sexual satisfaction in absence of a female partner.

Following measure will help him to boost up his confidence and getting good erection.and to have enjoyable sex after marriage.
1) Practice regular exercise for 45 minutes followed by meditation for 1/2 an hour in the morning.

Doctor i have some more queries. Please give your valuable advice

1. Doctor, To get the erection, he has to do masterbate. On erection, he feels that he is not getting firmness or hardness in the shaft of penis. Is it a normal thing?????
2. Will he be able to regain the firmness or hardness of the penis within 3 months before his marriage if he stops masterbation?
3. Due to masterbate his skin has become loose. Wrinkles have been appear on the foreskin of his penis. I think its due to masterbate. Will these wrinkles go away or disappear by itself with the time or Does he needs to take any treatment for these wrinkles?? Is there any treatment for these wrinkles??
