Can abstaining from masturbation weaken erection?

[Kevin8890 Member Find all posts View Profile Close Kevin8890]

So I have mild ED. Not a big deal, but I want to maintain/ improve. The absolute worst thing of ED (at least for me) is the mental issues/ anxiety associated with it. One thing that has been working amazingly for me is abstaining from masturbation. I guess it kinda keeps my mind off things. I can normally last 2-3 weeks...My question is... is there any way my erection could weaken due to lack of masturbation. Oh also, While abstaining I am doing flaccid kegels (2-3 times a week; 100 per session) so Im still working it out.

I would suggest that you ejaculate 2-3 times a week and change your masturbation to edging session, that will keep your jr satisfied and strong!

I think if anything is taken to an extreme, it can have negative effects. If you never touched yourself again for the next 5 years, then there might be some negative effects.
How's your love life? If you're having sex, then no, you won't be experiencing any problems.

I've heard a lot of positive effects from abstaining from masturbation, such as increased T, virility, clarity of mind and improved erection. You'll likely be wanting to approach women more. It may help with your sex life.

Test it out. See what happens. Report back. Let us know

Kevin8890 welcome and thanks for joining. Great advice from the other members. It sounds like the things you are doing are working very well so stick with the program. Watch your Physiological Indicators and follow what your penis tells you. Stay safe, consistent, persistent, and patient and you will meet your goals.

I understand your pain as my ED is now severe and I can't get hard without Viagra. Very seldom morning wood. At the beginning stages I would lose it when I was about to enter my wife sometimes. My anxiety and frustration grew each time and made it worse. She of course blamed herself, "I just don't turn you on anymore" and that didn't help either. So for awhile we just stopped, maybe gave it a go once a month, with mixed results. I started looking for things to do so we wouldn't be home alone before the kids got back from school. We were still spending time together but not of course what we both needed. I stopped masterbating during this time but it only helped alittle. I'm concerned now after ten years of Viagra that it's not working as well as it did. I've already told her that I will not put her thru that pain again. I'll get implants or penile shots, whatever, she's in her prime and I don't want to lose her. I wouldn't be surprised if she cheated on me during those troubled years, I wouldnt blame her. Listen to the Guys here, see a urologist, not your family practice guy, he'll just write a prescription and move on to the next Lil room and send you on your way. My problem is heart related and Blood pressure medication, my cardiologist, prescribed the Viagra. Good luck man. Keep us posted please.

Hey Kevin!

Welcome to the Gym.

it would be best for you to read https://www.pegym.com/forums/beginne...cess-here.html Lots of good information on what the PEGym is all about.

I have severe ED and found that jelqing helps generate a semi. You should start one of the recommended beginners routines emphasizing jelqing. Follow it for at least 90 days to condition your penis, or until you stop gaining. Start slow, and build up to the full routine over a few weeks time, jelq with an erection level between 45% and 65% using a moderate grip, just enough to move blood up the shaft and to the glans. Grip your penis below the glans when stretching and do not pull too hard, just enough to feel tension on your shaft.

By by the way, the longer I go without ejaculating (up to two weeks) the stronger the erection. However, I do need medical assistance in order to get an erection.
