While masturbation is not considered a primary cause of ED, excessive masturbation can condition men’s sexual response so that erections may not be as reliable in actual sexual contact situations.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Men get erectile dysfunction (ED)\u2014the inability to get or maintain an erection that\u2019s firm enough to engage in intercourse\u2014for a number of reasons, but is too much masturbation one of them? Here’s a look at some common causes:<\/p>\n

Physical Health Problems<\/h3>\n

Most men who suffer from erectile dysfunction experience it due to health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease or even obesity. Sometimes, men develop ED because they\u2019re taking a medication that affects their ability to get an erection. When these physical issues are the cause of erectile dysfunction, the man will have trouble getting an erection even when trying to masturbate.<\/p>\n

Psychological Problems<\/h3>\n

For some men, erectile dysfunction is related to depression, stress, performance anxiety or relationship problems. If you\u2019re able to masturbate but not get an erection around a partner, it\u2019s likely that a psychological or mental problem is behind your erectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n

Will Masturbation Help or Hurt Erectile Dysfunction?<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re masturbating to a ton of porn, but then dealing with erectile dysfunction when you try to have sex, it\u2019s likely the porn, not the masturbating, that\u2019s causing the ED. Some men build up a tolerance of sorts to what they need to see or experience to get an erection. Porn often raises the bar on kinkiness, making it more difficult to get an erection around by a \u201creal\u201d partner.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, masturbation can help you decompress if you\u2019re stressed and develop confidence that you can still get an erection (if you\u2019ve been doubting it before or during sexual intercourse).<\/p>\n

Treating Erectile Dysfunction<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re worried that masturbation is causing your erectile dysfunction and can\u2019t seem to get back on track even when you stop, talk to your doctor about getting a prescription for an erectile dysfunction drug.<\/p>\n

Medications like Viagra, Levitra and Cialis are all FDA approved and can be used to treat erectile dysfunction in most men, regardless of the cause.
