Thank for the useful information. Does the ejaculation then passes out during urination. How long will dry ejaculation continue and will it then at a later stage go back to the old process? Will masturbation lead to burning while urination!
Brief Answer:
Will remain the same
Detailed Answer:
Yes, the ejaculate is mixed with and passes out with urine at urination.
This may continue life-long.
May not go back to the normal process.
But the pleasure at masturbation or sex will remain the same.
Masturbation can cause burning urination if the act was harsh enough to traumatize the urethra. Be tender the problem may not occur.
Take care.
I hope this information helps you.
Have a great day.
