maybe I have a weird body.. but does anyone ever feel really restless unless they....masturbate? it's like one good release, and you have instant 6-10 hour uninterrupted peaceful rest. is that weird overall...or just weird science?

- I’ve had 3 post ejaculation urinalysis done and the results don’t fit the criteria for retrograde ejaculation.
- Transrectal ultrasound did not show any blockages.
- Semen Analysis has consistently shown 0.6ml volume.
Sperm concentration is 57 and count is 41. PH is 6.7 (slightly acidic in all tests so far) and motality is 17 in the recent most test.
- My hormones are all normal.
- Did a Prostate antigen test, also normal (I’m 33, otherwise healthy individual).
- I do not have diabetes and I’ve never had surgery.
- Never had this issue before, it was a sudden onset during H pylori treatment (doctors say antibiotics do not cause this and could be unrelated or coincidental).
- I noticed it last year during H Pylori (quadruple treatment, which is basically antibiotics for 2 weeks) and since then the volume has reduced significantly in a year.
- very confused ( Fertility doctors are confused as well)

Anybody had a similar situation? Any suggestions?

I’m a 24M, I’ve been lifting for 5–6 years, natural lifter and built a decent physique. I’ve also had a pretty heavy porn and masturbation habit for years(still having ngl).

About 3 years ago, I was in a relationship and tried having sex for the first time, but I couldn’t maintain an erection long enough. I assumed it was just first-time nerves.

Fast forward 3 years, I recently hooked up with a casual fling. I got a natural erection, we were able to start having sex, but as soon as we stopped to switch positions, I lost my erection completely. We tried again on another occasion, and the same thing happened. I even tried 50 mg sildenafil once, but it didn’t really help. The confusing part is that I have no problem getting and maintaining a full erection while watching porn.

I’m honestly frustrated. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Could this be porn induced ED, performance anxiety, or something else? Any advice on what I should do next would really help.

Hallo everyone. I'm a 45 year old Male living with type 1 diabetes for the past 35 years. I'm on prexium plus for blood pressure and aspavor for cholesterol and serlife for depression reasons. I would like to know if there is any male type 1 that can tell me what you did to get your libido and sex drive back to where it was many years ago? I know I'm not 21 years old any more but I crave for the feeling again.

Hi everyone. I'm a male in my early 20s and I'm looking for advice while I arrange to see a doctor.

About a week ago, I accidentally got some soap into the opening of my penis while showering. It stung for a while, but the stinging went away. A day or two later, I started noticing small yellow-green stains in my white underwear.

It's now been a full week. The discharge isn't constant. Some days there's nothing, then the next day I'll notice another small stain. I don't have any burning when I pee, no fever, no testicular pain, no itching, and no other symptoms. It's just the intermittent yellow-green discharge.

I only have **one sexual partner, and we're in an exclusive, monogamous relationship**. To the best of my knowledge, we're both exclusive to each other, which is why I initially thought this might just be irritation from the soap. But since it's been a week and the discharge keeps coming back, I'm wondering if it could be something else.

Has anyone experienced something similar? What did it end up being? I'll be seeing a doctor soon, but I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences in the meantime.

Thanks!

(I got no shame so imma just be blunt with yall) I’m 16 years old and it turns out now that I have been struggling from premature ejaculation unknowingly for about like a year now. I think the reason for this is because of years of constant masterbation. I’m not gonna lie or dance around it but when I was younger I would masterbate an unholy amount. Since I first started going through puberty during Covid. I had nothing better to do, so I would just sit around all day and beat my shit. This went on for like 4 years😭. There were some days I was beating my shit like 5 times, I would beat my shit 2-3 times a day on average. I used to be able to last like 25 minutes, but now I’m lasting like 3-4 minutes(sometimes shorter). I would say around the age of 15 is when I noticed I’d be nutting fast while beating. I never even payed any mind tho, and I didn’t even know what premature ejaculation was. I didn’t even think of it as a problem until October 2025 when I lost my virginity. I lasted like 2 minutes and she snickered in my face. I thought at first it was just because it was my first time and didn’t even care but then after I started paying more attention while masterbating. I realized now that I’m only lasting like 2 minutes every time, even if I pace myself. Well I just said fuck it and was like I guess this is my life now, because I didn’t know there was a way to fix it. So I just kept beating it and going slowish but nothing worked for a while. For the past like 2 weeks or so I’ve been doing this method where I just stroke my shit once every 5-10 seconds. And doing this I can last like 30+ minutes. But the second I speed it up to like 2-3 seconds I nit quick. I’ve noticed like slight improvement, like now I’m lasting 4 minutes at regular pace but that ain’t enough. And let’s be fr if I’m in a real pussy we can divide that by 3. So I wanna know if this new strat really gonna help me or am I just fucked for life?
Also kegals don’t work and that stop start method don’t rly do nthn.

I just want to start this by saying I am a woman, looking for help for my boyfriend (18m) pls delete if i am not allowed
instantly after intercourse we noticed a small pimple looking bump on his shaft. It is painless unless you push down on it. Can men get pimples on their shafts? I recommended he goes to the doctor if it doesn’t go away on its own and it has been about 3 days. We have had no intercourse since because we are afraid of making it worse. I don’t want to force him to go to the doctor and face unnecessary awkwardness if it will go away within a few days. Has anybody else experienced something like this?

Okay I'm 21 years old about 6'0-6'1 around 120 something lbs. I feel like i got everything in puberty ( voice got deeper, hair all over you know etc) except penis growth. Idk if it's because i'm skinny or what. Do I need to out on some more weight and muscle for it to grow ( I don't workout a lot but i'm active )or do I need to go see a doctor.I get erections so I know it works. It just hasn't grown to its adult size and this is mainly the reason i'm still a virgin. Maybe this is just my size and i'll have to just deal with it. any advice will help, i'm all hears and if you need any information about me to help that'll work too.

I’m 47. I just had my annual physical from my doctor (male). This is the second time I saw this doctor after my long time doctor retired. The 1st visit this did not happen. Just wondering if anyone else has this as part of their physical.…The visit went as it always did , review medical history, refill scripts, etc then the physical exam. Breathing, heart, ear, throat check like before .This time he had me lay down on the table and lift my shirt to do stomach press check and then said now ( again I’m 47). He said stand up and pull your pants and underwear down so I can check your testicles. Kinda caught me off guard as it hasn’t ever happened from my other doctor. I did what he asked. He felt each of my testicles slowly. Then had me turn my head and cough each way. I thought only teen and twenty something guys had this in their physicals. Any other guys around my age have their testicles examined at a physical??

Title I guess, maybe 3+ times a day in summer and 1-2 during the school year

20m i’ve been taking hims hard mints as needed for about a month but over the last 2 days i noticed they aren’t working quite as well. i’m not sure if this is anxiety induced or what but they’re just not working the same but idk if my ed just got worse or wtf happened but i have an appointment today with a doctor to discuss these things and im just worried now that daily cialis won’t work for me.

I’m 19 years old and I’m looking for advice from people who have been through something similar.
For the past 6 years, I’ve been watching porn a lot and masturbating around 2–4 times a day. I also tend to use a very tight grip.
The confusing part is:
I get normal morning erections.
I can get fully erect when I masturbate.
I can also get aroused by sexual pictures.
I can orgasm when I masturbate by myself.
However, I’ve been with two different sex workers, and both times I had the same problem.
At first, I got an erection. One of them gave me a handjob, but I couldn’t orgasm. After a while, my erection started getting weaker. When I tried penetration, I felt very little sensation and couldn’t maintain the erection.
Because I can get erections normally when I’m alone, I’m wondering if this is performance anxiety, if it’s related to years of heavy porn use and masturbation with a tight grip, or something else.
Has anyone experienced the same thing? If so, what helped you recover?

I feel like I cant get out of my head and overthinking when i’m being intimate. I’m turned on, I want to have sex, but I panic because “what if I can’t get hard”. Resulting in not getting hard. It’s like my mind and dick don’t communicate.

When I do get hard, I feel like I have to rush or else the connection goes away and goes soft.

Im physically fit, active, no porn/masterbation, wake up with a solid boner, etc. I do take 5mg cialis daily and on TRT. My mind is constantly horny but there is no connection with my dick. It’s like there is no feeling maybe? Or not sensitive enough.

It’s becoming a major frustration/cycle. Any ideas on ways to help this?

Hey everyone, no that title is not click bait. I'm 20M and I went from lasting anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes, to now lasting at least 15 and having to force myself to finish. Here's how

Just for a little insight, my GF 20F and I have a very sexually active relationship, we were doing stuff pretty much every day and no matter how many rounds I went, i wouldn't last longer the next. We recently moved into long distance and this is when I started my journey to cure my PE. She recently came back and this is when I realized Im a new and changed man. Over these 2 weeks I masturbated almost every day and sometimes twice a day with finishing. Here's what to do and what to avoid:

-Stop dry beating, i dry beat softly until i'm fully there and every single time i feel myself get there I use some sort of lube. I used my hand every single time this whole 2 week period.

-REVERSE KEGELS!!!! I know you're sick of hearing about these, and honestly i did not do them as much as most people on here are saying to, I usually do them 1 maybe 2 times a day. sometimes missing the days. with reverse kegels, the whole goal is to learn the muscles that are making you nut, AKA a kegel, kegels happen because of tight muscles around, you'll learn which muscles are tight by masturbating and when you get to the PONR you need to consciously think about relaxing whatever muscle it is that is holding you back, for instance with me it was my inner thigh, always tensing up, had to learn to calm it down while finishing and not relying on any muscle to finish.

-No more jerk material, for real this is the best one, when you masturbate you need to be focused on what you're doing wrong. I mean no corn, no pictures, nothing. I just stare straight at it and focus completely.

It's very simple, just stay dedicated and please do not fall into the corn trap, i know first hand that it is so tough to get out of but once you do, your sex drive and life will change completely.

I 38M separated from wife in January.

Jumped on Hinge 4 weeks ago and hit it off with a few women. I met one lady (45F) and we began a sexual relationship quickly. We had sex 3 times and the days we werent together we would be sexting and i was basically rock hard 24/7 with excitement about her. I would masturbate twice on those days. I felt.18 again.

It only went on for 10 days but it was alot. She was insane (BPD or Bipolar i think).

After ending it, I havent been able to get hard since. I cant get it up to save my own life. I just feel dead in my pelvic region.

I met a new woman last week, we had a fantastic date and i will be seeing her again this week, maybe twice.

I am terrified, ive never not been able to get it up in my life. This woman is incredible and Im not sure whats going to happen.

I am currently battling flu/covid, but ive never had an issue getting it up before when sick?.

Have been on 50mg sertraline for 6 months, its never prevented erections, but does help me last longer.

Anyone here had a similar thing?. I really am shitting myself.

I'm 22M of SE Asian descent. Right now I goon twice per day on regular. Some days I will go more. If I don't work that day, I may goon 4-6 times to completion. The internet has pretty mixed opinions on what is healthy and what could be unsafe. I always try to stay hydrate and eat good foods. No crisps or junk etc.

Hello, idk where else to post this so here it goes.

For context around mid May I had sex with another man and I think he had death grips. He touched himself really fast and hard and couldn't finish.

He touched me very hard too, harder than anyone ever has and I tried getting him to lay off a bit. It felt fine in the moment, nothing hurt or was sore afterwards.

After the encounter I couldn't get hard for 2 weeks and had no sensation in my thighs and groin area. It has slowly been getting better, like my penis is way more functional than it was when it first happened, but its still not 100%.

Ive been to 2 urologists so far. One basically told me it is a mental block and wasted my time. The other one was more helpful and listened to my concerns. He took a look at my junk and said nothing was wrong. I was prescribed tadalafil to help with blood flow, and I have been taking daily for a week now.

Its been over a month and its not getting much better.

My penis gets hard but I lose it fast, the head of my penis also struggles to hold blood in and flexing it just makes it go soft. The head also has almost no sensation. ejeculations dont feel correct either. Also even when hard I am not nearly as big as before and the skin feels "loose" if that makes sense. Also the shape of it has changed. Im unsure if its because its not getting fully erect but the base of my shaft is much narrower than the rest, which wasnt the case before. I used a past photo to reference it

Im so scared that this issue is permanant. Has anyone ever had this issue, is there any advice to be given? Should I see a specialist soon?

I'm a 31M I've been in a relationship with a female now for about a month. We have tried to have sex maybe 3 times now, but I'm having trouble staying hard. I get hard easily when we start kissing, touching and thinking about having sex with her, but as soon as I have to put it in - I have problems. I was nervous about getting into a relationship because I had previous heavy porn use and like other men doing the death grip. Masturbating on my own would take a while and be difficult. I also have major issues with anxiety, I get very tense in my muscles and uncomfortable when masturbating. She knows I have some issues coming from reliance on masturbation and death grip, but she does not know about the anxiety - which I'm not that comfortable talking about. Atm I've pretty much stopped watching porn and reduced masturbating mostly, planning to stop doing both completely now. I'm also working on the anxiety, but it's hard to know how much time that will take to get better. Any tips or advice?? has anyone had similar issues and been able to solve it, how long did it take?
