I'm a bit worried because I've been masturbating for about 10 years now and I've never had sex. I've heard that masturbation can cause issues like premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. I'm about to get married and I'm really unsure about what to expect. I'm just worried if I'll be able to satisfy my partner. How can I know for sure?
