I'm struggling with controlling my urges to masturbate whenever I watch porn. It's like as soon as I start watching, I just can't help myself and end up masturbating. It makes me feel so bad about myself, and I end up punishing myself by doing it even more. How can I break out of this cycle?

It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role. Instead of relying on capsules, focusing on relaxation, communication with your partner, and possibly seeing a specialist for personalized advice can be more effective for improving stamina.
