See answer : Masturbation is a normal behavior practiced by nearly all men at some time in their lives. Sometimes masturbating is less about sexual thoughts and feelings and more about anxiety as many men use masturbation as a means to relieve stress and anxiety. Anxiety performance as it relates to sexual activity also very common. May need counseling to help with these issues or may just need some practice.

Masturbation: Should not affect your performance but your anxiety may. Just relax and enjoy the relationship with your partner.
