Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query. At a younger age people usually have more sex drive and their frequency of masturbation is maximum. You can indulge in this activity as long as it is pleasurable and you have the drive for it. From the symptoms it looks like you have the problem of premature ejaculation and considering your age it looks psychological to me.
The most common psychological problems which are be related to masturbation are inhibited sexual desire, anxiety disorders, mental fatigue, stress, guilt etc. Another issue could be feeling of guilt about how often you masturbate which seems likely in your case and this could be the real issue for the onset of premature ejaculation. If you are experiencing negative emotions/thoughts related to the frequency of masturbation, masturbating less often may solve the problem.
Try distracting yourself when you feel you are about to ejaculate. Take a XXXXXXX breath and stay relaxed during mastrubation. Other treatment methods which can be followed are stop-start or squeeze-pause technique. In stop start technique, near ejaculation, stop stroking and relax and think about something else. In squeeze- pause technique, squeeze the end or the tip of the penis for 10 to 20 seconds when you are close to ejaculation and then resume stimulation after withholding for half a minute. If the symptoms persist then desensitizing creams and SRRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) may need to be prescribed for which you have to consult a urologist.
Although there are other medical problems of premature ejaculation but from your symptoms these seem unlikely. These include abnormal hormone level, reflex activity of ejaculatory system, thyroid problems, diabetes, hypertension and neurological causes. You may need to undergo certain medical tests like for diabetes, thyroid profile and hormonal assay to completely rule them out.
Hope this answers your query. I am available for follow ups as well.
Wish you good health.
