Debunking Myths ----- Masturbation, Premature Ejaculation, and Erectile Dysfunction

There is a common belief that masturbation can help address issues like premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. However, emerging evidence suggests that, rather than providing relief, masturbation may actually worsen these conditions for some individuals. 

The Issues

1. *Premature Ejaculation*
   - *Definition*: Premature ejaculation is characterized by ejaculation that occurs with minimal sexual stimulation, often before the individual desires.
   - *Impact of Masturbation*: Frequent masturbation can lead to altered sexual responses. Some men may develop a conditioned response that reinforces premature ejaculation during partnered sexual activity.

2. *Erectile Dysfunction*
   - *Definition*: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve or maintain an erectipon sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance.
   - *Impact of Masturbation*: Over-reliance on masturbation, particularly if done in a rushed or mechanical manner, can desensitize individuals, making it harder to achieve erections during intercourse with a partner.
