I am age of 21 .I used to frequently masturbate since my 15 years of age. recently I came across an article regarding the harmful effects of masturbation.in that I came to understand that it would cause premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. Later I realized that I was facing this problem when I had intercourse with my girlfriend and when ever I get aroused I lose white droplets involuntarily. Is it what I fear it is? Are these effects reversible? Can I be potent again? What are the remedies. And to whom I should refer? N how should I approach elders regarding this?

Dear Lybrate User, First of all, relax. Masturbation is not bad. It is in fact a good way to release your sexual urge. But, if you are masturbating just because it has become a habit or if you are addicted to it, then there is a cause of concern. In my opinion you need "sex education" Please consult any elder person whom you are comfortable talking about it or best is to seek Professional help. Kindly talk to a Counsellor who is trained in "Sexual Health" or a "Sexologist" Please do not try to gather information from the internet, instead seek help from people who have the knowledge and expertise in this field. All the best.
