For the last 6 months, I have not felt interested in sex, and I am also doing hand practice every day without understanding why, and now it is affecting my personal life. How can I overcome this problem and improve my sexual health again?

A drop in sexual interest for several months can happen for quite a few reasons, and it is often linked more to lifestyle, stress, habits, or emotional factors than a permanent health problem. Daily masturbation can sometimes make the body feel less responsive over time, especially if it becomes a routine without control, and it may also affect motivation and interest in real intimacy for some people. Along with this, stress, poor sleep, anxiety, low mood, or even guilt around sexual habits can gradually reduce desire and confidence. The good thing is that this situation is usually reversible. Try reducing frequency slowly rather than stopping suddenly, and keep yourself engaged in physical activity, outdoor exposure, and regular sleep, as these help balance hormones and improve energy. Avoid excessive porn or stimulation patterns that create unrealistic expectations, as they can affect natural desire. If low interest continues despite lifestyle changes, it may be helpful to check for underlying issues like low testosterone, thyroid imbalance, or mental stress with a doctor. Counselling can also help if habit control feels difficult. With consistency, most people notice a gradual improvement in sexual drive and confidence.
I am having erectile dysfunction, and I also feel like my penis size looks smaller during an erection. What could be the reason for this change, and how can I manage it now to improve my condition?

Erectile dysfunction and the feeling of reduced penis size during erection can happen when the erection does not become fully firm or last properly. Poor blood flow, stress, anxiety, low confidence, diabetes, smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, hormonal imbalance, poor sleep, excessive masturbation in some cases, or long-term health conditions may all contribute. Sometimes the penis may only appear smaller because the erection quality has reduced, not because the actual size has permanently changed. Weight gain around the lower abdomen can also make the penis look less visible. Improving overall health often helps sexual performance gradually. Regular physical activity, better sleep, stress reduction, stopping smoking, limiting alcohol, and maintaining good blood sugar and blood pressure control can support better blood circulation and erections. A healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and protein may also help. Avoid using unverified oils, pills, or enlargement products advertised online, as they may be harmful. Since the problem has been continuing, it is a good idea to consult a doctor for evaluation of hormone levels, circulation, and other possible medical causes so that proper treatment can be planned safely.
