I'm 21 and I'm having some trouble because I can't get it hard during sex. I used to masturbate a lot, and now I'm worried if all that is causing erectile dysfunction. Could that be the reason?

Excessive masturbation, especially if it becomes a frequent habit, can sometimes lead to temporary erectile dysfunction (ED) due to overstimulation or desensitization. However, ED at your age can also be influenced by factors like stress, anxiety, or relationship issues. It's important to focus on a balanced lifestyle and consult a healthcare provider if the issue persists.

I'm dealing with erectile dysfunction and was wondering if Tetrafol Plus could help with that. If it's not recommended, do you have any suggestions for other medications that might work? I'm really looking for something effective.

Tetrafol Plus is primarily a multivitamin supplement and is not specifically used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). For ED, medications like Sildenafil (Viagra), Tadalafil (Cialis), or Vardenafil (Levitra) are commonly prescribed. It's best to consult with a healthcare provider for the most suitable treatment for your condition.

I'm a 21-year-old guy, and I've been wondering about something that's been on my mind. I tend to masturbate almost daily, sometimes up to three times a day, or at least once. Also, I've been having sex with my girlfriend, maybe around 32 times. I'm curious to know if this might have any impact on my health now or in the future. Does what I'm doing pose any risks?

Masturbating 1-3 times a day and having sex with your girlfriend 2-3 times a week is generally considered a normal and healthy frequency for a 21-year-old male; however, it's essential to maintain a balance, as excessive masturbation or sexual activity can lead to fatigue, decreased libido, or relationship issues, so prioritize communication with your partner, practice safe sex, and focus on overall physical and mental well-being.
