A Hobby's Price

There's no entry fee, no special tools required, and practically no skill necessary to pursue this pastime. The trouble is that it can still cost you. Read on to find out the toll this guy has paid, and how he might be able to get a refund.

Case #: 1416

Concern：

I picked up masturbating at the age of 10 and did it all throughout school and college. After I finished college at the age of 22 I realized that masturbation is not a good thing. I have stopped masturbating but now my erections are weak especially when trying to romance my girl. That is not my only problem, I also end up ejaculating way too early and the weak erection makes it difficult. Is there any hope or chance for me to get this fixed?

Discussion：

Masturbation is a very tempting hobby. You don't need any complicated manuals or expensive equipment. You certainly don't need a teacher to show you anything, especially given the information available online. There's no set schedule or location, and best of all, you don't have to share it with anyone. It certainly looks like an excellent bargain.

… Where's The Price Tag?

Masturbation does have a cost, well-hidden behind your body's amazing recuperative abilities, but eventually you will start noticing it. Like the young child who set out to eat a whale and succeeded, simply by eating one bite at a time until the whale was gone. The penalties for over-masturbation are similar, in that they are a matter of tiny injuries repeated hundreds of times over a span of years, eventually adding up to significant problems.

Whenever you ejaculate, you use up measurable amounts of nutrients, expend certain hormones, produce waste, and put a little wear and tear on your body. You could get away with ejaculating once every two or three days for the rest of your life (assuming that the rest of your lifestyle habits are reasonably healthy), but masturbating multiple times per day for years can only last for a limited time before your recovery systems fail to keep up with the damage.

What's This Additional Charge?

Your weak erections stem from physical damage to the corpus cavernosum and corpus spongiosum, the tubes of tissue running the length of your penis. When your body sends the correct set of signals to them, they get engorged with blood to form your erection. However, when you fill them and drain them too fast, they can develop tiny leaks that prevent the blood from completely filling the tissues. When you don't give your body time to fully heal this damage, the blood vessels may become lined with scar tissue, which constricts them and reduces the blood supply going through them.

You may also be suffering from hormonal imbalances and even neural damage, based on improper nerve development during puberty. Think of it as similar to getting both your legs broken and then refusing to give up long-distance running; your bones will knit, but not back into the best shape possible.

I Want A Refund!

In your specific case, you have already taken the most important step of giving up masturbation; congratulations on acquiring a girlfriend in exchange. However, to bring your erections back to the size and strength you desire, you should give up ejaculating as completely as possible for a while. The optimal “time out” period is three weeks, but you might see signs of recovery if you cut down to no more than once every three or four days.

During this self-imposed dry spell, you can explore several options to speed the healing process. One is to improve your diet. Properly-cooked oysters' reputation as an aphrodisiac comes from their high amount of zinc, by weight, while vegetarians can get lots of zinc from soy or lentil beans. You should also take in more B-Complex vitamins, available from many meats or from whole-grains. Do your own research to find the sources you like the most, ask your girl to help you cook more healthy foods, and see if that improves your relationship in other ways.

Another possibility is a moderate exercise program. See if you can find the point at which you build your testosterone-production to the maximum, leaving it to power your erections more strongly but without expending it to build significant new bone and muscle mass.

You should also seriously consider taking an all-natural herbal supplement, designed to address the specific challenges of weak erections combined with premature ejaculation. (SEE: Natural Formula for Ejaculation Control & Erection Enhancement) It will help repair the damaged nerves that can no longer hold back ejaculations, as well as giving your testosterone production a further boost and assist in healing other injuries that are causing your weak erections.

Keep your health-care provider informed about your situation and what you're doing to address it, and remember that you didn't get into this mess overnight. Getting yourself out of it will require patience, diligence and time, but the end result will be more than worth it.
