Breaking A Habit To Build Stamina

He's given up alcohol and tobacco, trading them for exercise. However, he's still masturbating a lot. Is this affecting his sexual stamina? Read on, get the facts, and find out what you can do if you know all too well what he's going through.

Case #: 1414

Concern：

I have always had a problem of not being able to last long when having sex. There was a time when I did smoke and drink but that was more in my past. I am now very fit but I want to be able to last longer. What can be the problem? I also started masturbating at a really young age about 3 times a day most days.

Discussion：

Remember the old saying, “Practice makes perfect”? It's not quite accurate, especially if you're “practicing” on your own with no one really monitoring the activity. It would be more accurate to say “practice makes permanent”. As you repeat a motion or sequence of them, you literally program your nerves and muscles to activate in the same way each time; this is how Robert Ardito was able to win the Guinness World Record for the most punches thrown in 60 seconds (804 as of this writing).

Bad Training

In a similar way, masturbatory habits train your body and brain to ejaculate quickly, especially if you masturbate multiple times per day over a span of months or years. (Imagine the kind of punching or kicking ability you would achieve if you had practiced that instead of masturbating!) Given that kind of reinforcement, is it really that surprising that you don't last long when you are sexually stimulated?

Breaking It Down Before It Breaks You Down

Excessive masturbation isn't just a nasty habit like picking your nose or spitting in public; it has significant detrimental side-effects that can build into serious threats to your health. A long and by no means exhaustive list of problems you may develop includes chronic fatigue, hair loss, buzzing in the ears, and impotence; these are the result of long-term hormonal imbalance, nutritional depletion, and neural damage.

I'd like to take a moment to point out that these health issues are the result of persistent over-ejaculation over a long span of time, usually over several years. Pursuing sexual activities while also paying all due respect to your body's needs and limits will do wonders for you, physically and emotionally. Avoiding many of these problems can be as easy as never taking anything, especially your health, for granted.

Changing The Pattern

You've already removed alcohol and tobacco from your life; getting those out of your body helped delay the symptoms you are experiencing. To give your body the chance to really start recovering, though, you'll have to take careful action. A health-care provider would be an invaluable resource, especially in monitoring your progress and helping you make any needed adjustments.

The first thing you must do is reduce your ejaculations (either alone or with a partner) as much as possible. The goal is no ejaculations at all for three solid weeks, give or take, but any reduction to no more than once every three or four days will be enough for the healing process to get underway.

While you're waiting, you should check your diet, particularly your intake of zinc and B-Complex vitamins. Properly cooked oysters are a rich source of zinc, as is lamb, beef, whole grains and spinach, among others. Shellfish, milk, eggs and leafy vegetables are good starting points for B-Complex. Do some research, experiment with recipes, and see if you can't find some new favorite foods.

You should also look into establishing a moderate exercise regimen. Aside from burning off the empty calories you may have accumulated from poor diet, moderate exercise is highly beneficial to your cardiovascular health, improves your blood circulation and helps build up your testosterone levels. All of this adds up to strengthening your erections.

You should also consider taking an all-natural herbal supplement, designed to help the nerves controlling your ejaculations regenerate and enhance your sexual stamina, as well as generally assist in recovery from sexual exhaustion. (TRY: Natural Formula for Ejaculatory Control & Nerve Repair)

Please bear in mind that you worked hard over many years to “achieve” this state of sexual exhaustion, and recovering from it won't happen overnight. But once you do earn your sexual health back, the effect it will have on your performance promises to be quite remarkable.
