Many people will worry that they usually masturbate too much, whether it will affect their health, or even the problem of premature ejaculation. In fact, normal masturbation does not cause premature ejaculation. Only in the case of incorrect masturbation methods, or the number of times too often, the phenomenon of premature ejaculation may occur. In particular, some people are afraid of being found out by others, always want to finish masturbation quickly, and as a result, it becomes a habit, and over time, it is easy to ejaculate as soon as stimulation occurs. This situation can develop into premature ejaculation.
What is premature ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation is actually a common sexual health problem. We can understand premature ejaculation from the following aspects:
1. The duration of ejaculation is very short.
Generally speaking, if the time of ejaculation is always less than 1 minute during each sexual intercourse, it may be a case of premature ejaculation, especially for those who have already had this problem, which belongs to the category of “Primary Premature Ejaculation”. If the ejaculation time used to be normal, but has recently become shorter than 3 minutes, it is called “secondary premature ejaculation”.
2. Inability to control ejaculation.
People with premature ejaculation usually have difficulty controlling their ejaculation time during sex. Normal people can delay ejaculation through some techniques and adjustments. However, people with premature ejaculation have difficulty controlling it even when they want to.
3. Sex life does not bring pleasure, but worry.
A normal sex life should make people feel happy and satisfied. However, if you ejaculate too quickly, you will not only feel uncomfortable, but you may also make your partner dissatisfied, which will lead to many negative emotions, such as sadness, self-blame, and even fear of intimacy with your partner.

Why does excessive masturbation cause premature ejaculation?
During normal sex, a person’s brain, nerves, and body coordinate and work together to achieve healthy sexual activity. However, if you masturbate a lot and are in a tense state every time, for example, you are afraid of being found out and always want to finish quickly, this will make your brain very sensitive to sexual stimulation.
For a long time, the brain will produce “rapid ejaculation” habit, once a little stimulation, will immediately ejaculate. This kind of reaction will also appear in real sex life, thus triggering premature ejaculation.
In addition, frequent stimulation of the penis, the local nerves will become very sensitive, the penis may also lose the normal regulation of internal muscles, so that the control of ejaculation will be more difficult.
If premature ejaculation has already occurred, can it be reversed?
The answer is yes, most premature ejaculation caused by excessive masturbation can be reversed. But the premise is that you have to take the right approach and patiently adjust your physical and mental state.
I. Adjusting your mindset is the first step.
Many men will be very anxious after realizing that they have premature ejaculation and may even blame themselves or be afraid to face their partners. This is not necessary. Premature ejaculation is not a serious disease that cannot be cured, especially because of masturbation caused by premature ejaculation, most people can recover.
You need to tell yourself that your body is just having a temporary problem and you don’t need to worry too much. Keeping a positive attitude is very important for recovery.
Second, change your habits to help your body recover.
- **Keep a regular work and rest schedule.
Don’t stay up late, try to go to bed and get up at the same time each day so your body has enough time to rest and repair. A good night’s sleep helps regulate the body’s hormones and restores nerve function.
- **Eat a healthy diet and take nutritional supplements.
Eat more foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, such as lean meat, eggs, fish, vegetables and fruits, which can increase your physical strength and improve your body’s immune system, so that your sexual function can recover faster.
- **Kick the habit of excessive masturbation.
This is the most important point. If you continue to masturbate frequently, your body simply won’t have time to repair itself. You should gradually reduce the number of times you masturbate, and it’s best to stop for a while to give your sex organs and nervous system a “break.
Third, exercise to help the body recover.
Appropriate physical exercise can speed up blood circulation, improve cardiorespiratory function, make the whole body healthier, and improve sexual function is also very helpful.
- Do aerobic exercise.
For example, jogging, cycling, swimming, three to five times a week, 30 minutes to one hour each time. Such exercises are not too intense, but they are very effective.
- Exercise your pelvic floor muscles (Kegel exercises).
Kegel exercises are a way of exercising the pelvic floor muscles. This muscle plays an important role in controlling ejaculation. The exercise is also very simple: tense this muscle as if you were suddenly squeezing your urine while urinating, hold it for a few seconds and then release it. Doing a few sets every day can greatly improve your ability to control ejaculation.
To summarize:
Masturbation itself is not a bad thing, but if it is not done in the right way or too often, it can lead to premature ejaculation. Excessive masturbation makes the brain and sex organs too sensitive to stimulation, thus triggering the problem of premature ejaculation.
Once premature ejaculation occurs, don’t panic, keep a good state of mind, pay attention to adjusting lifestyle habits and exercise appropriately, most people can slowly return to normal.
If the symptoms are still not improved after adjustment, it is also recommended to go to the men’s department or urology department of the regular hospital in time to do a check-up, listen to the professional doctor’s advice, to avoid delaying the treatment.
