Excessive Masturbation
Hello. I masturbated 6 times a day for the past 2 weeks and am now encountering a weird issue. I am having erection but it's semi, not full. Also, the scrotum seems loose, and I feel my testicles to be numb. I don't know if this is temporary or did I do some serious damage?
Can anyone advise?

@suan your scrotum is supposed to be loose at times and when cold it’s not loose. So your cock is semi-erect and why is that an issue? Are you still able to perform with your partner and if your cock is hard to masturbate what’s the issue?
@jenatsky Hello. My cock has been semi-erect for the past 4 days. It has not been normal, like you know, loose. It's Winter, and my scrotum is too loose. Kinda opposite to being tight during cold and that concerns me. Went to Urologist, he gave me infection meds.
@suan Am I missing something? What's your concern? A semi erect penis? Loose scrotum? Did you take any medication out of the normal? Did you eat something different ?
Count your blessings brother! How old are you? Do you work? Any interests?
Is sex good? Responsive partner?
Do you know how many men would like to have this concern?
Please let us know.
If the situation changes for the worst, check with another doctor. What infection?
Masturbation can be a way for a person to release tension in addition to the pleasure you get from it. The release can be brief or long-lasting. It is certainly normal to masturbate and healthy for a number of reasons. However, it can be viewed as a “problem “ when it is perceived to be interfering with one’s life. From the way you described it, it appears that you see it as causing a lack of a full erect penis and a change in your scrotum. I assume that you’ve tried limiting your actions as a way to control yourself and that didn’t work (if you haven’t tried that, you may want to see what happens if you limit yourself to once a day).
My sense is that this “excessive “ practice is a way of coping with something in your life and it might be wise to consult a therapist who treats compulsive behaviors.

1 Reaction@newrochelle1131 My concern is a semi-erect penis which won't get back to its original shape (like, really loose). The scrotum is loose as well. Not too much loose but feels numb as in like you can't feel if there is something if you don't touch it.
No meds. Nothing different, but kind of eating out a lot for the past few months.
I'm 25. Work but home-based (remote work). Sex time has reduced, experiencing frequent ejaculations; previously it was 18-25 minutes, now going off in 12-15 minutes.
Responsiveness- Can't find the difference, but she won't say, of course.
Infection- No idea, he said take meds for a week and report back if something changes. Gave Paracetamol and Cefpodoxime.
@richielee Completely restrained me. Haven't done it for the past few days. Kinda concerned with the erection. I don't know maybe I am overthinking but want to know if someone has experienced something like this.

I wouldn't think masturbation once a day is excessive. I usually masturbate about twice a week. Sometimes takes a while for my penis to get erect. I take Tadafil 5mg and Sometimes 20mg. Sometimes I use a small Cock Ring advised by an urologist female nurse at the base of my penis to keep the blood in. I miss seeing my cum ejaculate. .y prostrate surgery must have caused that.
