Hi,

I am 25 yr old male. I am still a virgin and never been in a relationship, but do masturbate a lot. I feel I am suffering from sexual weakness or youth impotence.

I started masturbating at 12 - 13 and initially was very active like cumming once per day. Many times I have done it forcibly when I havent fully recharged after one ejaculation like sometimes four times a day. To this date I feel I have over masturbated.

I dont know weather its because of over doing it, I have noticed some changes in my sexual health.

1) Prolonged recovery period :To feel fully recharged after an ejaculation, initially it was just 3-4 hours, gradually it became like a overnight's time and then one day, then two days and since a year's time it has now prolonged to like 3-4 days!. I can get the erections but its weak and not pleasurable and not fully recharged.

2) Also when I do feel recharged after 3-4 days and can get good erections, I dont feel sexually that strong and pleasurable as before.

3) When I was 18-19, in non-erected mode penis started to hang down. It doesnt stand upright.(but can still get erections). Later masturbations were not that pleasuring. Overtime I feel gradually there is a drop in sexual strength.

4) But it kind of goes in cycles and once I am fully recharged and ejaculate, I can recover within a day's time and like this it goes for next 4-5 times and again it recovery period goes to prolonged 3-4 days.

5) I also feel I might be suffering from pre-mature ejaculation. I do feel if I go to bed with a woman, I wont be able to hold it for long.

It all looks like one complex mess. Overall I feel because of unhealthy and excessive masturbation habits, I have become sexually weak and kind of impotent. I was shy and stupid to talk about it all along. I feel frustrated and little depressed now thinking about it. I am really worried about it affecting my future sexual and emotional relationships when I do get into a relationship.

Pls make a comment on what could be wrong and what steps I should be taking now. Is it kind of late or can I still have hope that I can still be sexually strong, normal and successful again?

Thanks
BN
