I'm a 21-year-old guy and I've been able to get good erections when I'm having sex or masturbating, but I never have morning erections. I'm wondering why that might be. Recently, I've also noticed that when I'm standing up and masturbating, I can't quite get a full erection. I feel like this could be psychological because I've always masturbated while sitting down. But reading stuff online just seems to make me more stressed about it. Is there really something like position-dependent erections? And is watching porn and masturbating harmful in any way?

It is not uncommon for some men to experience variations in their erections based on different positions or situations. The absence of morning erections can sometimes be due to hormonal factors or changes in sleep patterns. As for your difficulty achieving full erection in a standing position during masturbation, it is possible that your body is simply adjusting to a new position. Position-dependent erections can occur due to changes in blood flow and muscle tension. Regarding the impact of porn and masturbation, excessive consumption of pornographic material and frequent masturbation can potentially lead to desensitization and performance anxiety. It is important to maintain a healthy balance and not rely solely on these activities for sexual satisfaction. If you continue to experience concerns about your erections, it may be helpful to speak with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm really confused and concerned about my semen analysis results from a couple of days ago. The report showed a count of 8 million per ml and motility at 45%. This morning, I tried a home test by adding semen to water, and I noticed that about 90% of it sank. Could you explain what it means when semen sinks or floats? I'm really curious and worried.

Thank you for your query. Typically, semen that sinks in water may indicate lower sperm motility or vitality, as healthy sperm are more likely to float. However, it's important to consider that a home test may not provide an accurate representation of sperm health. I recommend discussing these results with a healthcare provider for further analysis and guidance.

I'm dealing with erectile dysfunction and my doctor suggested I use nano leo sachet and tazzle 10. I'm wondering if these medications are actually effective for treating it or if I should be considering other options.

The medications prescribedNano Leo sachet and Tazzle 10 (Tadalafil)are commonly used to help manage erectile dysfunction. While they can be effective for many, it's important to follow your doctor's guidance and discuss any concerns or side effects. If you feel the treatment isn't working as expected, a follow-up consultation is recommended to explore other options.
