I'm 23 and sometimes I struggle to control this habit. I've heard from others that doing this can mean losing sperm in the future, and it's really worrying me. Could you help clarify this for me?

If you are concerned about excessive masturbation or it is interfering with your daily life, you may consider reducing the frequency. It is important to maintain a healthy balance in all aspects of life. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that masturbation leads to loss of sperm or infertility in the future. It is a natural and normal part of human sexuality. If you have any concerns about your sexual health or habits, it is always a good idea to speak with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

Dengue is not contagious in the classical sense, as it cannot be spread directly from person to person. However, it can be transmitted through: 1. Mosquito bites: The primary vector for dengue is the Aedes mosquito, which feeds on the blood of infected individuals and then transmits the virus to others. 2. Blood transfusions: In rare cases, dengue can be transmitted through blood transfusions from an infected donor. 3. Organ transplantation: Dengue can also be transmitted through organ transplantation from an infected donor. To prevent dengue, take the following precautions: 1. *Eliminate mosquito breeding sites*: Remove standing water from containers, flowerpots, and other areas around your home. 2. *Use mosquito repellents*: Apply insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus to exposed skin and clothing. 3. *Wear protective clothing*: Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and socks when outdoors, especially during peak mosquito hours. 4. *Use mosquito nets*: If you're sleeping outdoors or in an area without screens, use a mosquito net to cover your bed. 5. *Install window and door screens*: Make sure screens are in good condition and free of holes. 6. *Use air conditioning*: Mosquitoes are less active in cooler temperatures, so using air conditioning can help reduce the risk of bites. 7. *Get vaccinated*: If you live in or plan to travel to areas with high dengue transmission, consider getting vaccinated. The Dengvaxia vaccine is available in some countries for individuals aged 9-45. Symptoms of dengue typically appear within 3-14 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. The symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include: 1. *Fever*: High temperature, usually above 104F (40C). 2. *Severe headache*: Pain is often described as piercing or burning. 3. *Pain behind the eyes*: Eye pain is common, especially when moving the eyes. 4. *Joint and muscle pain*: Pain and stiffness in the joints, muscles, and bones. 5. *Rash*: A red, patchy rash may appear on the skin, usually 2-5 days after the onset of fever. 6. *Nausea and vomiting*: Some people may experience stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting. 7. *Fatigue*: Feeling extremely tired and weak. In severe cases, dengue can lead to: 1. *Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)*: A rare but life-threatening complication characterized by severe bleeding, low platelet count, and blood plasma leakage. 2. *Dengue shock syndrome (DSS)*: A severe complication of DHF, characterized by a sudden drop in blood pressure, leading to shock and potentially life-threatening complications.

I'm a bit concerned because this is my first time trying to have penetrative sex with my girlfriend, and I couldn't maintain an erection after getting one during foreplay. Could this be related to my masturbation habit? I've been doing it almost daily for about 10 years, so I'm wondering if that might affect things. What do you think?
It's common to experience difficulty maintaining an erection during first-time penetrative sex due to nerves or anxiety. Masturbation, especially if done frequently, can sometimes affect sensitivity or performance, but it's usually not the main cause. If this continues, consider talking to a healthcare professional to address any underlying concerns and reduce anxiety.
