A member asked:

Can you tell me if i stop masturbating for a couple of weeks, will it help my sexual dysfunction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Helps some: Stopping masturbatory may or may not help with a sex difficulty. It depends on the problem and the individual. Could you ask another question and be more specific? But to try and answer without knowing more, i would say that it might help with delayed ejaculation.
