What is the reason for the erection?

When a man has sexual desire, the corpus cavernosum in the penis will quickly become engorged with blood, causing the penis to become erect, which is also the basis for sexual intercourse between men and women. However, in daily life, even if a man does not receive sexual stimulation, he will still experience symptoms of penis erection, such as morning erection. However, when the penis is always erect, it is necessary to consider whether it is caused by excessive masturbation.

Long-term and frequent masturbation can easily damage the corpus cavernosum and nerves of the penis, resulting in this abnormal erection phenomenon.

Causes of masturbation

Men and women of all ages can masturbate, and the causes are not the same. Masturbation in childhood is mostly due to occasional unconscious playing with the genitals, or because of the stimulation and pleasure caused by the friction of the genitals when wearing tight pants or riding activities, and generally there is no orgasm. Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, after puberty, due to physiological changes in the body, sexual impulses and sexual desires arise, and they are full of longing, curiosity and fantasy about sex. Normal sexual desire is a basic requirement for human maturity and reproduction, and it is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, it usually takes several years or more from sexual maturity to being able to legally vent sexual energy and meet sexual needs (register for marriage), and during this period, sexual needs are often the highest, and there is always a need to find opportunities to vent the surging sexual desire. Both men and women may occasionally stimulate their reproductive organs and reach orgasm by accident, which can lead to a habit of masturbation. Some people learn to masturbate with the guidance or help of others, and then they can't stop.

Prevention and treatment of masturbation

People who masturbate should not be blamed, nor should they be exaggerated or threatened, as this will only increase their mental burden. Only when masturbation is too frequent and disrupts normal work and study, and self-correction is difficult to achieve the desired effect, should they receive necessary medical consultation and auxiliary treatment, including drug treatment. The key is to treat masturbation scientifically, with prevention as the main approach, especially for adolescents in their sexual development period whose psychological state is unstable. They should focus on psychological counseling and sex education, avoid premature love and sexual obsession, cultivate a wide range of hobbies and interests, reduce bad sexual stimulation to control masturbation thoughts, and shift attention from masturbation to healthy daily life and social activities. Pay attention to life adjustment, avoid wearing tight clothes, go to bed on time, do not eat too much for dinner, do not use too warm or heavy bedding when sleeping, do not sleep on your back or prone, and avoid irritating food (such as cigarettes, alcohol, coffee, spicy food, etc.) for dinner. Develop good hygiene habits, wash and keep the vulva clean frequently, and remove the bad stimulation of dirt accumulated in the foreskin. For those with reproductive system inflammation, such as phimosis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can eliminate the patient's local discomfort and help reduce the urge to masturbate caused by adverse stimulation.

Generally speaking, it is not necessary and impossible to completely stop masturbation. Masturbation within a certain frequency does not need to be prevented, but popular education is very important. In short, for those who do not understand masturbation, it is unnecessary to induce them to pay attention to and discuss this issue; and for those who have already masturbated, they should have a scientific understanding of masturbation and be guided reasonably.
