Masturbation and weak erections!!!Help!
hello everyone,
I am a 20 year old male who has been masturbating since a very young age( maybe 9 years old). I used to masturbate everyday when i was younger, and still masturbate every other day on average but i prolong my masturbation, so i do it for hours.
Now my penis has gotten sore and i only get weak erections. I feel like the harder the erection becomes the more sore it gets, so it stays really soft. I know that my Erectile Dysfunction is because of over-masturbation, and i have read many articles about it's affects, but no article's i have read have answered this. Will i be able to cure my Erectile Dysfunction? If so, how?
I have also read elsewhere that over-masturbation can permanently damage your parasympathetic nervous system, but how much masturbation can damage it? and how do i know if that's my case?
Please help, i want to get married soon and want to know what i can do to get my erections back

If porn is involved, then it may be the primary cause.
Many heavy porn users suffer from various stages of erectile dysfunction. Internet porn can become an addiction, and with all addictions the brain changes, or adapts. It does not matter if the addiction is to a substance or whether it is a behavioral addiction, the same brain changes result.
Today's internet porn is nothing at all like our ancestors ever encountered, with the constant novelty and genres of extreme porn. Unlike yesterday's Playboy, Internet porn overstimulates the brain structures responsible for libido, erections, and addiction.
Brain changes include a drop in dopamine receptors in the reward circuitry. Reducing the amount of dopamine receptors decreases your pleasure response to "normal" stimuli. In other words, real-life sexual partners and previous porn won't excite your brain enough to get your penis going. Turning on dopamine receptors is how you get turned on.
As Myron_Long said, the control center for erection is the paraventricular nucleus (in the hypothalamus), yet it gets it's stimulation from parts of the reward circuitry. The reward circuitry runs on dopamine. If the reward circuitry is "numbed" then it's much more difficult to get erections.
Here are two excellent presentations, by a science teacher, on the effects of pornography on the brain, and on erectile dysfunction. They are non-religious, non-judgmental, and science based.

One must completely abstain from porn, and often masturabation for a period, to achieve results. Healing the brain is not linear
good luck

Hoping that i can get back my erection even it takes long time. I have ro settle some financial issues but my problem became major, no problem there is hope of earning if i have good health. Thanks for some good advices Myron-LONG.

Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
