Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Doctor, hello! I would like to consult you about male sexual intercourse and ejaculation. I started having sex this year, and at first, I would ejaculate in less than 5 minutes. Later, I learned to masturbate, and now during sexual intercourse, it almost takes an hour for me to ejaculate, and sometimes I don't ejaculate at all until the penis becomes soft! What could be the reason for this? How can it be resolved?Doctor's answer:
Hello:It is likely caused by masturbation, so it is recommended to actively abstain.
To abstain from masturbation, follow these steps:
（1）Have enough perseverance and confidence in your mind to make a firm decision to abstain.
（2）Pay attention to a regular lifestyle and routine, go to bed and wake up on time, and avoid overthinking. Do not eat a full meal for dinner and avoid stimulating foods; do not read pornographic or obscene materials; it is best to wash your feet with warm water before bed to help you fall asleep. When sleeping, do not wear tight pants, keep the bedding from being too warm, do not press the blanket too heavily, and do not sleep on your stomach. If sexual urges occur after falling asleep and you cannot sleep, you may get up and sit quietly to calm your mind. Once the urges pass, you can go back to sleep.
（3）During free time outside of study, participate more in physical exercise and group activities, such as long-distance running, practicing Tai Chi, swimming, etc., to forget about masturbation. If you are tired during the day, it will be easier to fall asleep at night. This not only strengthens the body and eliminates mental tension but alsos willpower and perseverance.
（4）Cultivate a noble character, care about the collective, and love life. Establish a correct view of love, and take relationships, marriage, and family issues seriously and solemnly.
