Does Masturbation Cause Erectile Dysfunction?
Question: Hello doctor,
I am a 28 year old male. My height is 5'10, and I weigh 76 kgs. I don't exercise too much, and have a sedentary lifestyle. My main issue is that I am not able to get a hard enough erection even when I am sexually excited. I have been masturbating one or two times everyday for a long time now. Sometimes in the mornings or when I am masturbating, my penis does get a little hard but it softens very soon and is not able to sustain its (semi) hardness. I am beginning to feel worried as I am engaged and will get married very soon. Will regular exercise and lifestyle changes alone help me solve this issue? Please advise.

ED is not caused by masturbation. where as anxiety and guilt can be dangerous and can trouble a hard erection. Active life style is definitely helpful. Try to relax and see

Hello doctor,
I was advised by another doctor that excessive masturbation is bad and causes premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. So I'm a bit confused now.
Also, does cycling as a form of cardiovascular exercise have any harmful effects (like constricting the blood vessels leading to the penis) due to the narrow seat?
