Not ED. If you are becomming erect at all and ejaculating that is the function of your penis.

This is not abnormal. At 25 your are at sexual peak your interrest in sex should be very high. Masturbating 3 times a day is just about right. If your urge to touch yourself is something you do unconsciously it sounds like a normal reaction to elevated libido.

1. Current medical theory is that masturbation does not impact sperm production, but it is suspected that if it does, it increases it. If you're masturbating daily or multiple times a day your prostate is being depleted of sperm, unable to bring your semen to full potency. Abstaining from ejaculation for 20 hours prior to sex should leave you at full potency.

2. Any part of you that you work out rigorously 3 times a day is going to be a bit wobbly. If you are concerned about having softer erections restrict your masturbation to once daily. Dropping down to this frequency won't present any health risk to you and will likely allow you to increase your sexual ardor. You should be prepared for the fact that your erection is going to change as you grow older. That's just part of the fun of being a man.

Cut it back...You are doing this way too much...How do you expect a woman to be able to equal the passion that you have found in yourself...You have become your own favorite lover...Porn is your harem and eventually this could be trouble....Masturbating in moderation is fine, but I think you know this in your mind...Get a hobby...Read...Become active in sports....Your first step in the right direction was asking for help...Now do it...Have a happy life....

Good luck,

Yes the truth is that Overmasturbation does cause ED. Each time you ejaculate you are depleting your body of vital nutrients. It can take 6 months to a year of abstinance with good diet and excercise to fully heal. An ideal ejaculation frequency would be 1 to 2X a week if you go over this you may not progress in your healing.

I am a doctor and a 25-year-old who masturbates three times a day falls well within the normal range. Anyone who says otherwise has a non-medical viewpoint.

Short of low testosterone levels (and your doctor can test for this), frequent masturbating in itself should not decrease erection strength. Most men do not see a substantial reduction in erection intensity until their 40s.

You mention your erection is not as strong as you feel it should be - is this when masturbating or during sex?

All men have different ways of masturbating. Some use a very firm grip and use a very quick stroking tempo. In sex, if the vaginal/oral/anal action of your partner does not equal what you've trained your penis to enjoy, you may find your penis is not stimulated enough.

If you are experiencing this only in masturbation, there could be a couple of factors associated with a weaker erection. Your penis may have become "bored" with the same old thing.

In either situation, consider using a lighter grip and a slower stroke. You might try different forms of lubricant. Your masturbation sessions will last longer and you may find that your erections will return to the level you desire.

The other thing you may want to consider is limiting your use of pornography in masturbation. The use of porn may cause you to look for newer and newer media with which to stimulate your mind. Use your imagination - it offers infinite variety.

Good luck.

I disagree with what you say in your post...Actually in quite a few instances....However, the one thing that upsets me is that you say that you are a doctor...Now as far as I am concerned and all posters on this site should be aware of, is that the only real doctors or specialists that are the ones that the site has in bold pictures on the front pages...Anyone who writes on their Profile or shows a picture of themselves in a "doctor uniform" is not necessarily a doctor...They are a picture of a person with a doctor gown on...The rest of the people could and probably are imposters..They can say they are lawyers, psychologists, preachers or any other medical staff with any degree that they choose to give themselves...They can write anything at any time in their Profile that praises themselves...They can be a man hiding behind a woman's name or a woman hiding behind a man's name...A gay man may be pretending to be straight and a straight man, gay...The same thing goes for a woman...She may be lesbian and profess some other sexuality or anything or anyone that she wants to be...The Internet is the Internet...Need I say more......

I believe this is important information that should be said...Youth is our future...

I agree with Caroline, and as far as I am concerned, a 25 year old man who masturbates as many as three times a day, has no need for a woman, or anything else, as they will not be able to provide the exact same kind of satisfying stimulation he is giving himself. If you want a REAL partner, stop letting "Rosey Palm" satisfy you, and go out and find a REAL partner.

This is the first I've ever heard of this. In fact current medical thinking is that masturbation can help prevent some forms of ED. Can you supply the study that supports this or point to the medical body that supports this statement?
