Does Masturbation Affect Fertility?

default
Posted on Fri, 9 Jun 2017
Question: Hi Doctor,

This is XXXXXXX I am 24 years old. I don’t smoke. I don’t consume alcohol. I exercise 2 -3 days in the week at the gym for 1 hour daily. I drink tea 1-2 times a day.
My first problem is I used to masturbate 7-10 times in a month. But for the past one year I have reduced the masturbation to 5 times a month
About 5 months I found that I ejaculate within 20-30 seconds of starting masturbation. So in order to increase my sexual stamina I started practising the start and stop technique of masturbation from May.
I have few doubts regarding that
I practice the start and stop technique of masturbation technique daily. I start stroking my penis to make it erect. Then I continue stroking my erect penis.I continue stroking for about five minutes but during this time I divert my mind away from sexual thoughts and think about multiplication tables etc.At the brink of 5 minutes I imagine about something sexual and stroke my penis .I stop when I am about to ejaculate. I rest for 30-60 seconds and repeat the steps. Finally at the end of 15 minutes I ejaculate.
I do this technique daily.So I ejaculate daily.But for the past few days I feel tired,get cramps in my legs and have hip pain,hand shivering.Is this due to the daily ejaculation?
Plus one day I did not ejaculate. That night I felt a pain in my balls and pelvic region. So the next day I did the start and stop technique of masturbation technique twice and ejaculated twice.
Is this the correct way of practicing? Should I ejaculate every day during start and stop technique of masturbation?
Will ejaculating everyday during start and stop technique of masturbation affect my sperm count and make me infertile, impotent.Will it weaken my nerves?.Will it affect my sexual stamina?
Should I divert my mind while practicing or should I imagine sexual thoughts throughout the entire time I practice?
I read in magazine that if don’t ejaculate while doing start and stop technique of masturbation. It will affect our body. Is it true?
Kindly check the entire note and provide you suggestions.

Brief Answer:
Masturbation doesn't make you impotent.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. Masturbation doesn't make you impotent. If you masturbate so often then the further ejaculation can contain less number of sperms. But this is temporary. It will come back to normal when you have abstinence for 2 to3 days.
Start and stop technique is usually used in normal sexual activity. Using this excessively in masturbation is not good. As your hand is hard compared to vagina during sexual intercourse it can give some physical trauma. This can be the reason of the pain you experienced.
Take protein rich foods. Taking various nuts, citrus fruits, eggs,sea foods and meat are good to get enough zinc and sexual stamina.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
