Methods to correct frequent nocturnal emissions, proper understanding of masturbation, and a scientific interpretation of morning erections.

There are many ways to overcome frequent nocturnal emissions, mainly including the following:

(1) Understand the problem of frequent nocturnal emission correctly and do not have a mental burden. Excessive anxiety will only lead to an increase in the frequency of nocturnal emission, creating a vicious cycle.

(2) Establish normal and regular living habits, establish a normal frequency of sexual life after marriage, participate in more beneficial cultural and sports activities, dispel attention focused on sexual issues, and try to free yourself from indulging in sexual issues.

(3) Pay attention to the hygiene of sexual organs, clean the external genitalia frequently, remove smegma, change underwear frequently, and do not wear tight clothes.

(4) Adjust your sleep habits to prevent your lower body from getting too warm while sleeping, and avoid using heavy blankets. Minimize sleeping on your stomach and avoid placing your hands on your genitals. Do not drink alcohol or eat spicy food before bed. Avoid prolonged hot baths or foot soaks before bed. Avoid strenuous exercise before bed.

(5) Treat the underlying diseases that cause frequent nocturnal emissions in a timely manner.

(6) Use sedative and tranquilizing drugs appropriately, such as diazepam.

Masturbation is the act of relieving sexual tension and releasing sexual energy through one's own abilities, satisfying one's sexual desires, and obtaining pleasure and comfort from sex. Therefore, masturbation is a normal physiological phenomenon, and it is widespread among humans, commonly referred to as "masturbation" or "fighting," mostly used to describe men. While the term "masturbation" is widely used, because "淫" (yin) is a derogatory term in Chinese, using it to refer to a sexual behavior is inappropriate. Some suggest that the term "masturbation" should be eliminated, and the scientific term should be "self-stimulation."

Masturbation can occur in men and women of all ages, and the causes vary. Childhood masturbation often stems from unconscious, occasional manipulation of the genitals, or from the stimulation and pleasure caused by friction during activities like wearing tight pants or straddling, but usually without orgasm. Both boys and girls experience physiological changes during puberty, leading to sexual urges and desires, filled with longing, curiosity, and fantasies about sex. Normal sexual desire is a basic requirement for human maturity and reproduction, and is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, the transition from sexual maturity to the legal expression and satisfaction of sexual energy (registered marriage) generally takes several years or longer, during which time sexual desire is often at its highest, requiring opportunities to release pent-up sexual urges. Both men and women may unintentionally stimulate their genitals and achieve orgasm, which can become an uncontrollable habit. Others may learn to masturbate under the guidance or assistance of others, and then develop a habit of masturbation.

Masturbation mainly involves various methods of direct or indirect stimulation of the sexual organs, ultimately leading to orgasm (ejaculation). This primarily includes masturbation performed directly with the hands, or using devices to assist with sexual activity.

Male masturbation is often relatively simple, almost entirely centered around the penis. For example, some men masturbate by squeezing, pressing, or rubbing their penis between their thighs; others ejaculate through the friction of the penis against the bedding while lying prone. However, the most common and direct method is to grasp the penis and apply a certain amount of friction, or to move it up and down, to achieve ejaculation and obtain self-satisfying sexual pleasure-this is what is commonly referred to as masturbation. Female masturbation is more complex, involving not only vaginal stimulation but also stimulation of the vulva (labia majora and minora, clitoris), breasts, and other areas. Various masturbation methods have been developed and refined through practice. As long as it doesn't bother others, you can explore different methods, but always within the bounds of your own safety. Some assisted masturbation methods are safe and effective, while others pose potential risks, such as damage to the reproductive organs and increased risk of infection, and should be avoided.

Masturbation is absolutely not a sinful act. The previously held view that masturbation is harmful has gradually faded, but mainstream cultural prejudice still considers it merely a supplement to sexual intercourse. In reality, masturbation has independent sexual value; it is a standard form of sexual activity and can produce the same physiological responses as intercourse. Moderate masturbation does not cause any harm to the body. When used properly, it can compensate for the inability to have marital sex, such as for unmarried young people, separated couples, divorced or widowed individuals, people with sexually transmitted diseases, people with disabilities, and couples whose spouses are unable to have sex due to illness. It can also help to boost work enthusiasm and energy. Masturbation can also be used to collect semen samples for clinical examination, and healthy men can donate their semen through masturbation. Masturbation does not transmit any sexually transmitted diseases, does not involve others, and does not involve extramarital sexual behavior or emotional entanglements. It does not lead to sexual assault or even sexual crimes, and avoids moral and social problems caused by sexual issues. Therefore, masturbation itself is harmless. It should be done naturally without psychological pressure, so as not to feel guilty or blame oneself afterward. It is also easy to develop many "imagined" diseases due to fear caused by misunderstandings about masturbation, or to make far-fetched connections between one's own diseases and masturbation.

Masturbation can occasionally cause some minor problems, including the difficulty for a small number of men to smoothly transition from masturbation to sexual intercourse, difficulty in controlling their desire for masturbation, worry that masturbation will lead to diseases and damage their health, and the embarrassment after masturbation is exposed.

It is inappropriate to criticize or exaggerate the behavior of those who masturbate, as this will only increase their psychological burden. Only when masturbation is excessively frequent and disrupts normal work and study, and self-correction proves ineffective, should necessary medical consultation and adjunctive treatment, including medication, be sought. The key is to treat masturbation scientifically, prioritizing prevention. This is especially important for adolescents in their puberty, whose psychological state is unstable. Psychological counseling and sex education should be the primary focus, preventing early romantic relationships and sexual obsession, cultivating broad hobbies and interests, and reducing unhealthy sexual stimuli to control masturbation urges. Attention should be shifted from masturbation to healthy daily life and social activities. Simultaneously, attention should be paid to lifestyle adjustments: avoid wearing tight clothing, maintain regular sleep schedules, avoid overeating at dinner, avoid overly warm or heavy bedding, avoid sleeping on your stomach, and avoid stimulating foods (such as tobacco, alcohol, coffee, and spicy foods) at dinner. Develop good hygiene habits, frequently wash and keep the genitals clean, and remove smegma buildup from the foreskin. For those with inflammation of the reproductive system, symptomatic treatment such as anti-inflammatory drugs can eliminate local discomfort and help reduce the urge to masturbate induced by adverse stimuli.

Generally speaking, it is neither necessary nor possible to completely abstain from masturbation. Masturbation within a certain frequency does not require prevention, but popular education is very important. In short, for those who do not understand masturbation, there is no need to induce them to pay attention to or discuss this issue; while for those who have already masturbated, they should understand masturbation scientifically and be given reasonable guidance.

Morning erection refers to the involuntary, spontaneous erection of the penis in men during the early morning, unaffected by circumstances, actions, or thoughts. It is an important indicator of normal and strong sexual function. The exact cause of morning erections remains inconclusive in the medical community. A normal man's penis is usually in a relaxed state, except when it becomes erect in response to sexual stimulation or certain external stimuli. However, sometimes reflexes from internal organs can also cause penile erection. The most obvious example is the frequent occurrence of penile erections before waking up in the morning, medically termed morning erection. With age, the frequency and duration of penile erections gradually decrease. Men experience an increase in the frequency of morning erections between the ages of 20 and 30, which gradually decreases after middle age. Generally, it has no significant impact on health.

Morning erection is a normal physiological response in men, and the changes in morning erection vary from person to person. It is important not to judge a man's sexual function based solely on this.

Some male patients suspect they have erectile dysfunction (ED) as soon as morning erections stop, causing them great anxiety. The more these men worry about having ED, the less morning erections they experience. This is a terrible vicious cycle, because psychological anxiety leads to physiological problems; and physiological problems, in turn, trigger further psychological anxiety, and so on, making the situation worse. If the frequency of sexual activity and the rigidity of penile erections during intercourse are normal, and you only notice the lack of morning erections, there is even less to worry about. The penis may still have normal morning erections, you just haven't noticed them. If a man has erectile dysfunction and notices the lack of morning erections, he should consult a urologist at a reputable hospital.

In addition, erectile dysfunction (ED) is divided into two types: psychogenic and organic. Patients with organic ED will not experience morning erections, while patients with psychogenic ED are closely related to psychological factors, such as fear, depression, anxiety, psychological trauma, guilt, and marital discord, without any organic damage to the reproductive organs, so they may still experience morning erections.
