Erectile Dysfunction

[issacnewton]

Hi

Let me introduce myself. I am from India. I an 32 , male. I do some asanas
. Because of over mastrubation I have difficulty having erections. I am still single. The sensitivity of penis has almost become zero. So I have to mastrubate to make my penis erect. It doesnt become erect on its own.
I think this is serious problem and I am also thinking of going to
ayurvedic physician. I dont like allopathy much. So I want to know if there
are supplementary exercises in yog therapy. I heard about mulbandh and uddiyan bandh. Can anybody here suggest any yog therapy for this ?
I mastrubate twice a day and I think this is high frequency. But I cant control myself. I have to rectify these problems otherwise I cant get marry . In ayurveda also there is something called as Vajikarana therapy which I will look into.

Thanks

I feel for you, I know what are you talking about from personal experience. I tell you this so you don't think I am just the regular smartass who has an opinion.

There is no other way than educate your sensuality. Masturbation ... you have your history I guess, how did you start, how did you got hooked up into this behaviour.
The so called sexual revolution taught us that everything religions and traditions say about sexuality is dogma, bullcrap, and everything goes, among many, they concluded that masturbation having detrimental effects on our health is a superstition.

Well, you masturbate, and you did not die or become ill, so it is harmless, apparently. But the very questions you put show that it is a serious obstacle to your social life, to your relationships.

It is a bad habit, you must face it. It prevents you from getting seriously involved into relationships. How ? The energy you release by masturbation is not supposed to be spent that way. In fact, it supposed to be preserved until the possibility of "spending it normally" arises. This energy is meant to carry you, as it is not just physical energy but emotional, psychic energy too. It is libido as western psychology says, but I like the term shakti better. It is not nervous impulses, but the very essence of life, vital "energy". This descends to the physical level, but it does not have it's abode there. When one masturbates, forces this energy to go to the physical level, and the devotional, loving aspects are missing. Fantasies cannot replace the real presence of another person where the physicality is embedded into the emotional aspects of communion and self surrender.

Masturbation creates dependency just like drugs. Chemicals are secreted in the brain during sexual release, and orgasm. This make the brain dependent on them, used to them, needing them. In this case sexuality ceases to be a spiritual act, and becomes feeding an addiction.
The downside is that if you enter a relationship, your habits and what you seek from lovemaking will be the same, your nerves, brain are used to the stimuli "learnt" by masturbation. Chances are that you will find making love to an actual woman less enjoyable than masturbation, especially that "good sex" has to be learned. (The taste of a healthy food is unsatisfying for someone used to a spicy, heavy meal. It takes time to get used to it, by refraining from consuming the latter, than when you are hungry enough, you will start to enjoy the less exciting ones too.)
And there you go again ... you will make love to her less and less, and you will masturbate in secret. In time, this will hurt your relationship, to the level that you either seek another, or divorce and remain alone. Masturbation strenghtens the tendencies of seclusion and withdrawal from society, and will make your emotional life barren.

Do you use any stimulating material - porn, literature, pictures ?
Stop them. Avoid opportunities to be alone with anything what might trigger the need to masturbate. If it happens, leave, and go out.
Try to fill the hunger in your brain with other activities, like sports, listening to good music. You must unlearn this conditioning. Some say you will never be able ... but they are wrong. It is possible. Stop eating meat. Do not drink alcoholic drinks. Avoid situations what make your general vitality drop, as these are the times when all the bad old habits kick in. If you canot avoid, try to rest, but in company of others.

You must do this to avoid being emotionally unfullfilled, and to avoid burdening your karma by hurting others.
The physical yoga practice will help, but remember this is an addiction: and it is your mind and habits you must change. Without this, you can do uddhiyana bandha all day long, it will not work, but perhaps make you sick. Do the asana and bandha practice if you can, but do not rely on it solely. Remember, yama and niyama comes first. Satya comes first. And to be true to Satya, we must be honest with ourselves. You must admit that you are on a wrong track. Masturbation in secret is again breaking of Satya.

Do not dispair, this is a good opportunity to develop willpower and control over your life.
