Hi XXXXXX

Thanks for the query

Masturbation (infrequent, frequent or habituated masturbation in less erected state) has nothing to do with erection problem.

Breaking up with your girlfriend could be an issue ( even if there is no emotional issue about that you say, but sometimes this may not be true ,too ). This can better be come to conclusion weather this factor is playing a role is by knowing the details and circumstances of it to a mental health professional. Also, your interaction with new partners.

Or, sometimes developing depression may manifest as erectile problem.

Also, as because you say it has developed gradually, you need to check for diabetes, too.

Hope this could address your query
and I am available for further clarification

Wish you a happy sex life

Hi XXXXXX

I am sorry for late response for some unavoidable reasons

Thanks. Below are answers to your queries:

1. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction is not very uncommon rather usual to the extent 0f around 10%

2. Masturbation has no role in such cases, though you may find such information in newspapers, internet etc. This is a myth.

3. This is not a permanent serious problem so that you need a permanent cure. In stead, understanding stages of sexual cycle, applying principle of "sensate focus technique" during sex should help.

4. One should not take viagra often (not more than thrice a week, not for months together) as it is not safe for heart. Moreover, if the principles enumerated in point 3 is not combined with viagra, it may not work in the long run, though it may work in the initial period.

hope this answers your queries
