A member asked:

My husband masturbate before we have sex . if he don't do that he can have erection. its that normal or?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you meant: To say he couldn't have an erection unless he masturbates before sex -- then that is a psychological problem. You can ignore it or have him see a psychiatrist. It is not a physical problem.
