The harm of holding back ejaculation

Many men develop bad habits during sex. These habits may not seem harmful to the body, but if they continue for a long time, they may lead to some male diseases. For example, some men will try to hold back from ejaculating during sex, which is actually very harmful. For example, it may affect male function, cause difficulty in ejaculating, or even lead to infertility.

Delayed ejaculation refers to the need for abnormal stimulation of the penis to reach orgasm and ejaculation. It is also considered a mild form of anorgasmia, and the same patient may experience delayed ejaculation and anorgasmia alternately. The causes of delayed ejaculation may be organic or psychological, such as incomplete myelopathy, iatrogenic penile nerve damage, and medication (antidepressants, antihypertensive drugs, antipsychotics).

1. Erectile dysfunction. When men want to ejaculate but hold back when approaching orgasm, the excessive congestion of the pelvis will increase the burden on the sexual nervous system and sexual organs, and affect sexual feelings, making it impossible for men to fully devote themselves to sexual enjoyment. Over time, this will reduce male sexual desire, which is not conducive to the full development of men's sexual ability and easily induce erectile dysfunction.

2. Retrograde ejaculation. Ejaculation during sexual intercourse is a normal physiological phenomenon. If you hold back ejaculation, it will affect the ejaculation function, resulting in delayed ejaculation or even no ejaculation. Another point that needs to be recognized is that holding back ejaculation does not necessarily mean that semen will not be ejaculated. It is more likely that semen will "go through the back door", that is, retrograde ejaculation. Semen retrogradely enters the bladder and is then discharged from the body with urine. In the long run, it will affect a man's fertility. In addition, because of holding back ejaculation, the semen accumulated during sexual excitement may eventually be discharged from the body in other ways, causing spermatorrhea.

3. Chronic prostatitis. After normal ejaculation, the male sex organs fully secrete body fluids and gradually become soft. After a short time, the blood flow in the penis will return to normal. If ejaculation is interrupted, the blood flow recovery rate in the sex organs will slow down, resulting in a persistent congestion state, which is easy to induce reproductive system infectious diseases and congestive diseases, such as chronic bacterial prostatitis. In addition, if the seminal vesicle is persistently congested, the capillaries on the seminal vesicle wall will rupture and hematospermia will occur.
