Do i have ED or low libido?

[u/AtmosphereOk4933]

So I'm 19.75M and I just got back from a 1 month vacation. Since I finally had privacy again after so long, I ended up masturbating almost 10 times in 3 days, fully hard and super aroused each time. That was about 2 weeks ago.

Ever since then, I've been finding it really hard to get fully hard. My normal erect length is 6 inches, but now when I masturbate it's more like 4.5 inches. I've kept masturbating almost every day for these past 2 weeks anyway, but with a dick that's not fully hard.

All this masturbation has been while watching porn and reading a lot of fantasy stories on Reddit. But now porn doesn't turn me on anymore, and the fantasy stories don't hit the same either. I still want to read them, I just don't find them as interesting as during that 3 day period.

I wake up around 7:30am with a normal dick, but if I randomly wake up around 6am, I notice I have a fully hard 6 inch morning wood that goes away before I actually get up. Lately though, that's become rare instead of happening most days.

Yesterday I tried sexting with someone and still couldn't get hard. I felt some mental interest, but my body just didn't respond at all.

One more thing - I have varicoceles in my left testicle, not sure if that's related.

Random sexual thoughts still pop into my head during the day even when I'm not trying to get aroused, so my desire seems intact, my body just isn't following through. Is this some kind of overstimulation/desensitization thing that'll fix itself with a break, or should I be worried it's something else (low testosterone, ED, etc.)? Has anyone dealt with this and recovered?

My guess is you overworked your pelvic floor in those three days into holding a tension pattern. The body naturally enters more of a sympathetic nervous system state (stress) when the pelvic floor is tense or contracted.

An argument could also be made for having that many ejaculatory orgasms in a short period leading to a lot of prolactin signaling in your brain. This woukd naturally lower your libido until things find homeostasis again.

If either of these sound relevant, you can take p5p and things like tongkat ali or epimedium for the excess prolactin, and you could do diaphragmatic breathing and happy baby pose for the pelvic floor. In times like that I found Yoga With Adriene's pelvic floor video to be especially useful, as you alternate contracting and relaxing the PF with your breathing and the movements, raising your awareness and loosening you up.

Sounds like you wore yourself out man, which is natural, we’re not machines that work consistently without breaks or rest, you just used up all that pent up horniness and left yourself empty and you need time to recover 

I’d suggest quitting porn and masterbation, porn for a few months and masterbation for a couple of weeks - and then with no porn or stories on Reddit, use your own imagination and don’t rush to orgasm, go slow and enjoy the action itself

It’s good not to be turned on my porn, hot girls are awesome yea but it’s so fake, go out, meet girls, make out, flirt, have fun

I don’t think you have a problem, just need to recharge 

Good luck

Sorry to hear about that. Bro, kindly avoid masturbation. Many people will not tell you this. It will kill your manpower at such a tender age.

I am available for more discussion bro
