Could porn addiction lead to premature ejaculation?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 25 years old and a virgin. I used to watch too much porn movies two to three years back because of issues in personal life. I had watched it before that also but once or twice a week. After my breakup, I was totally depressed and shattered. A friend of mine deliberately forced me to watch porn movies to come out of depression. After that, I got addicted to it.

Now the problem is I have a small penis and whenever I masturbate, I ejaculate very soon (say four minutes) and pain rises in my back tailbone as if the inner nerves are stretched too much. It seems like I cannot be in the field of encounter for a long time. What should I do?

Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You are contributing porn watching and masturbation to your back pain. Masturbation is a healthy way of satisfying your sexual desires and you can masturbate weekly twice or thrice. Anything in excess is not good. It will not affect your sex life or general health.

By watching porn continuously and masturbating daily is common in your age. It will not cause any serious damage except early ejaculation. That is because you have trained yourself and your penis to ejaculate early. Lot of constructive time was wasted in this. You can divert your mind by concentrating in your studies or professional career. Also, learn yoga and meditation which will help your back ache and assist you to concentrate on useful activities.

You can watch porn for five to ten minutes and masturbate weekly twice or thrice, but train yourself to ejaculate late by delaying stroking.

I hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.

Regards.
