Does Excessive Masturbation Cause Impotency?
I ve been masturbating for almost 5 years daily and at times even 3 times a day, I became a maniac as such. But now have controlled it. I am not not getting any erection even when watching porn or in the morning, please suggest if this is impotency and if this is recoverable? I am 24 can it be cured and how?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Excessive masturbation does not lead to impotency.
However, excessive masturbation can lead to decreased libido and decreased desire to have sex and thus decreased erection even on stimulation.
Avoiding masturbation for some time and preventing overindulgence in sexual activities can improve your libido and erection on stimulation.
Sexual activities can be avoided by indulging in some other useful activities like sports, exercising, gardening, etc.
Thanks and take care
