I'm a bit worried about my habit of frequent masturbation, especially since I'm in the 15 to 22 age range. I've read some stuff on Google saying that doing it often when you're young can lead to early prostate cancer. Is there any truth to this, or is it just a myth? I usually masturbate twice a day and it's got me concerned about my future. Could you provide some guidance on this?

I've been wondering if masturbation has any connection to premature ejaculation. Like, does it cause it or make it worse? Also, how can I tell if I'm actually dealing with premature ejaculation? It would be great to get some clarity on this.

Masturbation itself doesn't cause premature ejaculation, but excessive or hurried habits may affect control. Premature ejaculation is typically defined as ejaculating within a minute of penetration or before the person wishes, and it often causes distress or relationship issues. If this happens frequently, it might be helpful to consult a healthcare provider.

Can I take Duralast 30mg twice in one day if I want to use it once in the morning and again at night? And is there a stronger pill out there that can help with delaying ejaculation just for one-time use?

Duralast (30mg) is typically prescribed for once-daily use, and taking it twice in one day may increase the risk of side effects. For delaying ejaculation, there are other options like **Priligy (dapoxetine)**, which is specifically designed for on-demand use. It's important to consult with your doctor before adjusting the dosage or trying new medications.
