I'm 21 and I'm having some trouble because I can't get it hard during sex. I used to masturbate a lot, and now I'm worried if all that is causing erectile dysfunction. Could that be the reason?

Excessive masturbation, especially if it becomes a frequent habit, can sometimes lead to temporary erectile dysfunction (ED) due to overstimulation or desensitization. However, ED at your age can also be influenced by factors like stress, anxiety, or relationship issues. It's important to focus on a balanced lifestyle and consult a healthcare provider if the issue persists.

I'm really worried about something that happened yesterday. After I masturbated and ejaculated, my penis went numb and shrank. The foreskin got really loose, and it feels super short and cold now. I can't quite feel it right, and I'm also feeling really dizzy and depressed. I'm attaching a picture of my penis for you to check. Is there something wrong, and can it be fixed? Please let me know what's happening and what I should do.
Dont worry. It looks normal. Vigorous masturbation can cause pain and numbness just like if you rub your skin very roughly. It will get better on its own
