Every night, before going to sleep, I need to masturbate or I can t sleep. Also, I am not happy with the sixe of my penis and tend to ejaculate even after someone touches it. What do I do?

It is true that the chemicals released during masturbation (or any sexual activity) could make you relax. But, you have programmed your brain in a such a way that you can only sleep after masturbating and now you are feeling that you can t sleep without doing it. However this is NOT a serious problem as there are ways to revert brain programming (behaviour re-modification) by scientific methods. Also, please don t jump to conclusions about your penis size without knowing what the average penis size is for Indians.

Sometimes the length is normal but it appears smaller for various reasons (for example, if you have a big belly). Premature/quick ejaculation could be due a number of reasons but mainly due to anxiety. This too can be managed through some behavioural techniques and medications if necessary. Read this article for more tips to beat premature ejaculation. Also I can assure you that masturbating won t affect your ability to bear children in any way.
