Patient's question:
I am 26 years old and have had a masturbation habit for almost over 10 years. I have always struggled to quit it. Later, when I moved in with my girlfriend, I experienced premature ejaculation. On a few occasions, I climaxed without penetrating, and after resting for a while, I was able to complete intercourse normally. After breaking up with my girlfriend, I resumed masturbation. So I bought a sex toy, specifically a realistic vaginal simulator, to consciously practice controlling ejaculation in hopes of improving premature ejaculation.Now, I have little interest in masturbation, but I am also afraid that using the vaginal simulator might have negative effects. I want to know if using a vaginal simulator is essentially the same as masturbation.
Doctor's answer:
This needs to be looked at specifically, as there are many types of adult products. However, in general, it is important to pay attention to hygiene and use them exclusively for one person. This can prevent the spread of infectious diseases. As long as you pay attention to the above issues, there is no harm, mainly the issue of hygiene.
