I'm wondering if masturbating too much can cause impotence. I can only get an erection when something is being done to my penis, and I have a hard time keeping it up. I can ejaculate though. I watch porn and get aroused, and I keep fit by going to the gym every day. I don't have any other health problems, so should I be worried?
