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.
