Hi sir ; My name ajith ,I am 23 years old, I had only one scrotum in birth ,so noe i have only one scrotum ,The other one I took out of operation,Do I have any problems with masturbation twice a day?
Hi sir, I am Ranjith , a 23 yr old male. I ve been masturbating for 6 years watching porn unwillingly but with no hope to control this habit.
In order to get rid of this habit,I started doing Edging practice in order to jerk without ejaculating the semen. I am doing this edging for the past 1 and a half years and able to hold my semen for hours without knowing its consequence. So I used to end up edging without releasing my semen ,whenever i feel that urge. As a result i ejaculated once in days since i could control myself from not releasing semen. So i felt so confident in my lyf ,doing my activities regularly and successfully.
Bt from last November ,I could see a less amount of semen only got released whenever i try to ejaculate ,much lesser than what i actually ejaculated in the past beginning years before i got into this edging practice.. And also i feel some less sensation and little difficulty while jerking.
But i get regular erections at mornings and in times of urge. Only the amount of semen got lesser, which makes me so disgusting and inferior about myself. Is it due to edging? If edging for hours watching porn ,lead to infertility? When i happen to see some videos in English YouTube channels ,they speak highly about edging and semen retention and suggests that this edging problem can be curable.
Is this really curable? I request you to suggest some exercises or food habits for this problem as i feel hesitant to consult a doctor directly. Moreover, i regularly follow your YouTube channel and request you to do a video regarding edging, its merits and demerits, Sir..
It depends on how well the sperms can swim in the semen and how long they can be active. Yes sir , Thank you fr your information and i saw your video too. Bt my doubt is , Edging without ejaculation and retaining semen by edging is a good thing or a bad one?
And less amount of semen due to this Edging habit is a good sign or not? I just want to clarify this Sir…. Hello sir. So can I ejaculate is there any side effects or problem s will cause plzz answer? Talk to your doctor about your problem, he will be able to guide you better.
