Masturbating. Semi Erectile Dysfunction. Stopped. Have Viagra, Use Lubic Gel With Condoms?
I am 23 male , healthy , with no severe medical history. Due to over masturbation since last 8 yrs - 3times/day, i have semi erectile dysfunction now. I have stopped it though,and have started to gain back the energy now. I have read about all the precautions of viagra and decide to take the 25mg tablet without consulting doctor.I haven't been sexually active to test it , but i had no side effects. Can i take it next time too , when i have to have sex ? Also can lubic gel be used with latex condoms ?
Hi there.
You have asked a few qns. and I will try to address them systematically here.
1. It is indeed an incorrect notion that masturbation leads to erectile problems. No, it does not !
2. Viagra should be taken with medical advise. In some countries it is now available over the counter with advise from the chemist. Over and above this, my question is do you need it? When you are sexually active, I would say 'go slow', dont aim for penetrative sex directly. Allow the relationship to grow, let your confidence levels build up, then, you will probably get good erections naturally. If it continues to bother you, do see a specialist.
3. Water based lubricants should be alright with condoms. Do read the fine print on the lube carton, it will mention this.
Good luck !
