A member asked:

Im a male and having trouble reaching orgasm while masturbating.is this bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You decide: If you can only climax with your partner(s), they might appreciate this, and perhaps it's not a problem. If this is your principal outlet, some medicine, illness or just your physiology may be an issue. Ask your physician whether a trial of yohimbine is in order.
