Question

I've been masturbating since I was 15 and I'm 17 now. I've heard that it might lower zinc and testosterone levels, and it's really got me anxious. Could you please tell me if that's actually true?

Masturbation does not decrease zinc or testosterone levels significantly. It is a normal and healthy activity. To maintain healthy levels of zinc and testosterone, you can include zinc-rich foods in your diet such as oysters, beef, and nuts. If you have concerns about your testosterone levels, you can consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question

Hey, I'm dealing with some issues that I think are linked to porn and masturbation. Whenever I engage in sexual activity, I get overly excited, leading to pre-cum and premature ejaculation. The thing is, when it comes to actual sex, I'm not really feeling that emotional connection or excitement, but I still end up ejaculating. Can these problems be permanently resolved? Also, how long would I need to continue taking medication if that's part of the solution?
