Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I masturbate approximately two times a day by watching porn and have a good erection during that time. However, while having sex with my wife my erection does not last longer even though I have feelings for her. Initially, I start with kissing and licking her body but as soon as I start with penetrative sex, I start losing erection and can not have sex for longer. But I want to have sex and an erection for a longer time. I am facing this problem for the last three to four times. Earlier I used to have a proper erection while having sex and would also ejaculate after sex.

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Ashutosh Kumar

Hi,

Thank you for stopping by!

I am here to provide expert opinions on your medical issues. You have to stop watching porn first. And start your relationship with natural and realistic expectations. If you still feel your erection is not lasting longer you can take some medicines for that.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Is masturbating twice a day fine? What medicines should I use if still my erection does not last longer?

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Ashutosh Kumar

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Masturbating twice a day will not be very helpful if you want to have proper sexual intercourse. You can have Tadalafil (Cialis) 5mg for better erection. Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take medications with their consent.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I will try and reduce or stop masturbating slowly. Also, is there any side effect of this medicine? Should I take it before or after the meal? Should I take it only at night every day or sometime before having sex? Although I do not have any health issues currently and I do not take any medications, just wanted to know that this medicine does not affect my health.

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Ashutosh Kumar

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

There will not be many side effects if you do not use it regularly. In old age, these can cause some adverse effects. It has to be taken one hour before sex.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
