Prone masturbation
Sir, Age-20 years Height 5 foot 7 inches Weight 55kg I have been  watching porn and doing prone masturbation for past 6 years (almost daily) But recently from past 3 months I have switched to normal masturbation From past 9 months I have no morning erections and spontaneous erection, I have low libido, I have grade 2 or 3 erection if I have erection and erection is not hard as it used to be before. I think I have porn induced erectile dysfunction (pied). Due to this addiction it's effecting my daily activities and my studies also I feel guilty about myself why I got into this trap. My question is "If I leave porn and masturbation can I recover from the effects of it and can I get my morning erections and libido back?" " Can I recover from the effects of prone masturbation?" "Is it possible to be like I was 3-4 years ago?" " Is it affecting my fertility?" I really don't want to be addicted to this please help me 🙏." Can I recover from all these effects of prone masturbation ?

Thank you for sharing your concern in such detail. First of all, I want to assure you that you are not alone, and the condition you are experiencing is common, reversible, and treatable with the right guidance. Based on your history, your symptoms appear to be related to a combination of: • Porn-induced sexual conditioning • Long-term prone masturbation habits • Performance anxiety and mental stress • Possible temporary reduction in sexual responsiveness Let me address your concerns one by one: 1. Can you recover if you stop porn and control masturbation? Yes, absolutely. The brain and body have a strong ability to reset and recover. By reducing or stopping porn and following healthy sexual habits, many patients regain normal libido, erections, and morning erections over time. 2. Effects of prone masturbation – are they reversible? Yes. Prone masturbation can condition the body to respond to a specific type of pressure, which may affect erection quality during normal stimulation. However, once this habit is stopped and replaced with healthier patterns, sensitivity and response gradually improve. 3. Loss of morning erections and low libido This is often linked to mental overstimulation, fatigue, anxiety, and hormonal imbalance, rather than permanent damage. With proper care, morning erections and natural desire usually return. 4. Can you become like before (3–4 years ago)? In most cases, yes. At your age (20 years), your body has a very high recovery potential. With the right approach, you can regain normal sexual function and confidence. 5. Is fertility affected? Based on your description, there is no direct indication of permanent fertility damage. However, if needed, a simple semen analysis can provide clarity and reassurance. ⸻ What you should do now: • Gradually avoid porn and reduce dependency • Follow normal (non-prone) stimulation only if needed • Maintain a healthy routine (sleep, exercise, diet) • Avoid overthinking and guilt — this worsens the condition • Seek professional guidance for structured recovery ⸻ At Dr. Fayyaz Sexology Clinic, we provide a confidential and personalized treatment plan that may include: • Behavioral therapy and habit correction • Counseling for addiction and anxiety • Medical support (if required) • Natural methods to restore libido and erection quality With proper treatment, most patients see significant improvement within a few weeks to months.

Namastey Your situation is quite common and, importantly, reversible. The pattern you describe—long-term porn use, prone masturbation, reduced morning erections, lower libido, and weaker erections—is consistent with a functional sexual conditioning issue, often referred to as porn-related erectile difficulty. This is not permanent damage. The brain and body adapt to the type of stimulation they are repeatedly exposed to; over time, high-intensity visual stimulation and prone technique can reduce sensitivity to normal stimuli and lead to reduced spontaneous erections. The encouraging point is that you have already taken a positive step by shifting to normal masturbation, which is the right direction. Yes—if you reduce or stop porn and allow your system to reset, recovery is very much possible. Morning erections and libido typically return gradually as the brain’s reward system normalizes. Similarly, the effects of prone masturbation are reversible, as the body can recondition itself to more natural stimulation patterns. Regarding fertility, your current issue is more about erection quality and libido, not sperm production. In most such cases, fertility is not affected unless there are other underlying conditions. With proper correction of habits and mental balance, you can return very close to—if not fully to—your previous state over time.
Next Steps
The focus now should be on breaking the cycle of dependency and retraining your mind and body. Gradually eliminate porn consumption and avoid prone masturbation completely. Allow your body to experience natural arousal without external overstimulation. Initially, you may notice a phase where erections feel even weaker—this is a normal “reset phase” and not a sign of worsening. Maintain patience and consistency, as recovery is gradual and depends on how long the habit has been present. Channel your energy into structured daily activities, studies, and physical routines to reduce urges and mental preoccupation. Most importantly, avoid guilt—this is a behavioral pattern, not a permanent condition.

Health Tips
Prioritize regular sleep, as morning erections are closely linked to healthy sleep cycles. Engage in physical activity and strength-building exercises, which naturally support hormonal balance and improve confidence. Reduce screen time, especially exposure to explicit content, as it delays neurological recovery. Practice mental discipline techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or mindfulness to manage urges and reduce guilt or anxiety. Keep yourself engaged in productive activities to prevent relapse into old habits. With consistency, patience, and the right approach, your body has a strong ability to recover, and you can regain normal libido, erection quality, and overall confidence over time. Thank you
