I've been thinking about my habits recently. I used to masturbate a lot, but I've now stopped for about a week, and I haven't watched any porn either. Is it okay to completely stop, or is it healthier to do it every now and then?

Stopping masturbation for a week is unlikely to cause harm, and it's okay to abstain or reduce frequency voluntarily; whether to resume masturbation or maintain abstinence depends on personal preferences, values, and goals; consider focusing on overall physical, emotional, and mental well-being, rather than frequency of masturbation.

I'm really struggling with lasting longer during sex and it's been affecting my relationship. I've heard that some medications might help with controlling or delaying ejaculation, but I'm worried about whether this can actually solve the issue permanently. Can anyone give advice on how to increase the time, or if medication is a good route to take? Would appreciate any insights on this topic.
To increase sexual endurance, techniques like **squeeze method**, **start-stop method**, and practicing mindfulness can help control ejaculation. Medications like **SSRIs** or **topical anesthetics** may temporarily improve control, but they don't offer permanent solutions. Consulting a healthcare provider can help identify underlying causes and create a tailored approach.
