Does masturbation cause premature ejaculation?

Patient's question:

I started having sexual habits since I was 16 years old. Every time after having sex, I would feel a sense of deceit and swear that I would never do it again. But sometimes, when I browse some stimulating images or movies online, I can't help myself. Now I'm divorced, and my wife has some degree of sexual apathy. Occasionally, I still have sex with her, basically twice a week.

Doctor's answer:

General sexual activity less than once a week is considered frequent. On the other hand, overly frequent sexual activity can boost mental and physical energy, but it can also excessively stimulate the genital organs, potentially leading to premature ejaculation. Premature ejaculation may affect fertility. To reduce sexual activity, one can start by increasing the frequency of other activities, spending more time outdoors, less time alone indoors, and engaging in more social interactions to meet new friends and fill free time. Gradually, the urge for sexual activity will diminish. If the urge remains uncontrollable, it is recommended to consult a regular hospital for treatment. For patients with premature ejaculation, if the condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary, otherwise, the condition may recur. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and stay in a positive mood. It is hoped that the answers provided above can assist everyone.
