I've been dealing with a problem that's really starting to worry me. I'm a 23-year-old guy, and I think I've kind of overdone it with masturbation over the past few yearslike three times a day for seven years. Now I feel like my penis has lost a lot of its sensitivity, and it's causing me erectile dysfunction and making it hard to enjoy sex. I've been searching everywhere online, but I just can't find any meds or treatments that might help with this. Could you let me know if theres anything I can do about it? Maybe some medicine or something to regain sensitivity?

To help improve sensitivity and address erectile dysfunction, you can try using a topical medication called Lidocaine gel. Apply a small amount of Lidocaine gel to the tip of your penis before intercourse to help increase sensitivity. Additionally, you can also try medications like Sildenafil (Viagra) or Tadalafil (Cialis) to help with erectile dysfunction. These medications work by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping you achieve and maintain an erection. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe for you.

View allI'm really concerned because while I was masturbating, my foreskin's seal broke, and it started bleeding. It's not bleeding now, but it's pretty painful and hard to pull back. I'm struggling to clean it because of the pain. I'm also worried I won't be able to have sex with my girlfriend until it heals. I've just been rinsing it with water for now. Do you think this is serious? How can I make it heal faster, and once it does, will I be okay to have sex again? I'm pretty worried about this situation and would really appreciate some advice.
Sounds like you may have experienced a tear in your foreskin, which can be quite painful. To help with the healing process and reduce pain, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to manage the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. Once the tear has healed, you should be able to resume sexual activity with your girlfriend. However, it's important to give it time to heal properly before engaging in any sexual activity to avoid further injury or discomfort. If the pain persists or if you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, it's important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

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.
