I'm really worried because I've noticed that my ejaculation force has been very weak when I masturbate, and it's been happening for a couple of months now. I've also seen a decrease in the amount of semen. I'm 29, 5'5" in height, and weigh 63 kg. I don't have any medical issues and I'm not married. Can you please help me understand what might be going on and how I can fix it?

I'm a bit concerned because this is my first time trying to have penetrative sex with my girlfriend, and I couldn't maintain an erection after getting one during foreplay. Could this be related to my masturbation habit? I've been doing it almost daily for about 10 years, so I'm wondering if that might affect things. What do you think?

It's common to experience difficulty maintaining an erection during first-time penetrative sex due to nerves or anxiety. Masturbation, especially if done frequently, can sometimes affect sensitivity or performance, but it's usually not the main cause. If this continues, consider talking to a healthcare professional to address any underlying concerns and reduce anxiety.
