Masturbation itself doesn’t cause long-term erectile dysfunction (ED), but there could be other factors at play affecting your erections. Since you’ve stopped for three years and still experience a lack of sexual feelings, it’s important to consider both physical and psychological aspects. Firstly, evaluate lifestyle choices. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, good sleep hygiene, and avoiding excessive alcohol or tobacco can significantly impact erectile function. Engaging in physical activity helps improve cardiovascular health, which in turn, enhances blood flow — crucial for erections. Stress and mental health, such as anxiety or depression, are also common contributors to ED. Cognitive-behavioral therapy or counseling can help tackle psychological aspects and restore sexual interest. It might be helpful to explore if there’s any performance anxiety or other concerns that are impacting your sexual health. Additionally, discuss your symptoms with a healthcare provider to rule out underlying medical conditions like diabetes or hormonal imbalances, which can also cause ED. A doctor may recommend blood tests to check for testosterone levels and assess your cardiovascular health. For some, medication such as phosphodiesterase inhibitors like sildenafil (Viagra) may be prescribed, but these should only be used under medical guidance. These medications can help achieve erections by increasing blood flow to the penis but aren’t effective in addressing psychological factors. Addressing lifestyle factors and psychological barriers alongside any medical treatment will provide a comprehensive approach to overcoming erectile dysfunction.
