Why I am not getting erection unless I masturbate?

Question

Hello doctor,

My age is 29 years now and I am planning to marry in a year. Since my age of 14, I had a strong erection whenever I got tempted. Later, I started masturbating, thinking about fantasies, watching too much porn. But I get hard only during masturbation. I am not getting erection while seeing girls, watching porn or even during sensual touch. But I watch porn and masturbate and so I get erection. What should I do? I had undergone hernia surgery 15 years back.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your problem carefully. I have some queries to know. Past sexual history and erection of penis in the early morning when you awake from sleep. Though I have some query, I am giving you explanation. Masturbation and real sex are totally opposite things and the maximum portion is psychological rather than physical.

In case of masturbation, we do hurry to ejaculate. But during intercourse, we try to make it late as much as possible. So psychology is totally different. During masturbation, you give your total concentration in doing that. You want to make your penis erect. So it occurs. You told that your penis is being hard enough and you are satisfied with that. So there is little chance of having a physical or hormonal problem. So you can proceed to marry. I can assure you of your physical fitness.
