There is indeed a relation between Over Masturbation and ED. Sounds like your penis might have lost its previous natural tendency to get erection. This happens in most men who have begun it at a very young age and have continued it excessively into their adulthood. There are ways to get around this problem, but first let me tell you how your habit can affect your erectile capacity. In most cases, the liver gets impaired due to OM, accompanied by the parasympathetic nervous system and the hormones. The reproductive organ is made up of a spongy tissue known as the corpus cavernosa. When you get excited, this spongy tissue becomes engorged with blood. This is when your organ becomes hard. But who sends the message to the brain that the corpus cavernosa needs to be engorged with the blood? That is the job of the parasympathetic nervous system. That means, the parasympathetic nervous system looks after the psychological part of the masturbation. It is this system that provides you with the sexual gratification. However, the parasympathetic nervous system cannot provide any message to the organ without the presence of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is effectively the chemical that signals the need of the penis to become erect. And this nitric oxide is released by the liver when you do this. Each time you do this, the liver releases the requisite amount of nitric oxide into the parasympathetic nervous system, which signals the organ to become erect. When someone masturbates excessively, what happens is there is too much release of nitric oxide. As a result, the tissues of the reproductive organ could become immune to signals from the parasympathetic nervous system. Let me explain it to you in a very simple manner. Erection of the organ requires signals from your nervous system, which are facilitated by the liver. But since you have masturbated so much, your nervous system has become overburdened, and so also your liver. Also, your organ is no longer responsive to these signals just because it has got too much used to it. That explains why you don’t get those erections as you did in your younger days. But all is not lost! You body functions will get back to normal and you will get good erections once again, if you exercise self control. Your sperm count will also improve. Come to think about it, get your sperm count tested. It may have become low also.... Also - if the girl is not doing it for you, that's not a good sign?! bb22 01-27-2011 @ 10:55 PM                           reply Member Joined: Jan 2010 but u havent actually got ED have you? so what are u worrying about? the fact that your girlfriend deosnt want to have sex with u is something you should be worrying about. Porn is a stop gap, or the cherry on the cake, not a substitute for a relationship. Sort it out with her, or dump her methinks. Once youre with someone else who is interested in sex with u, the problem will be solved. pod17 02-10-2011 @ 10:07 PM                           reply Member Joined: Jan 2010 Sounds like the fire's gone out of the relationship and if you really love her you've got to relight it. Sorry - I know that sounds cheesy. But I know from experience that things can get stale and then you start looking around, thinking about getting a replacement. But if there's a lot f good stuff there, like sense of humour and a brain, then it may be worth really trying out some new stuff in the bedroom to take it to the next level. Just sounds like you've stalled.
