Brief Answer:
Masturbation in prone position should be avoided

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing through HCM.

I have read your query and understood your concerns.

Sometimes masturbating while watching porn movies can cause exhaustion particularly when you masturbate for long duration without allowing ejaculation to come out. This can be one reason.

Person should not masturbate in prone position because there are chances of 'Traumatic masturbation syndrome'. Try to avoid that.

If you are not confirmed about your morning erection then you can perform a bed side test like paper test. In this test you have to apply a strip of paper [about 1 cm] around your penis base while it is in flaccid state. It should be tight enough and use gum to stick both the ends of paper around penis base.

When your penis gets erection during early morning the paper will be ruptured and this will be the positive finding that it gets normal morning erection.

The causes like venous leak and others can not be present in a boy of 18 years so don't worry.

Anxiety can be the reason. Stress and worries can make a person distracted even while masturbation. When a person watches a porn movie because of the visual content, a person can not have much distraction but when a person is doing masturbation while fantasizing he may have distraction because of stress.

The swollen veins over penis is a normal finding even when you see it during flaccid state of your penis. Don't worry about venous leak and swollen veins you do not have any abnormality.

When a person notices that there is some problem with erection then every time he goes for masturbation, he becomes more conscious about previous problems and develops poor erection. This is a vicious cycle which continues.

So try to ruminate less about your past poor erection while masturbation. Believe that you do not have any abnormality. Do exercise and yoga for relaxation. Eat healthy diet and concentrate on studies. Try to avoid frequent and excessive masturbation.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further query then I shall be happy to help.
Wish you good health.

Brief Answer:
Avoiding masturbation is not the answer

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing again.

Avoiding masturbation completely is not the answer. It will cause nightfall because whatever semen is made, it has to be brought out by masturbation or sex. So if you completely stop masturbation then semen will leak in night or during urination, passing stool or whenever abdominal pressure is high.

These thoughts of previous erectile problems will not do any damage to the brain. It is just psychological, nothing else. Masturbation does not cause any problems in sex after marriage, but avoiding it can cause nightfall.

I would not advise my patient to stop masturbation completely.

Hope I have answered your query. If you do not have further query then close the discussion and rate the answer.
Wish you good health.
