I am young, I am 17 years old. I have spent the past..probably year or 2 of my life masturbating frequently, probably at least once a day. As well as the chronic masturbation, I have also smoked marijuana for about 2 years in February.
I think back now and notice I have had symptoms of Sexual Exhaustion for quite some time; Eye Floaters, Fatigue, Memory Loss (I had attributed this to stupidity as well as marijuana use but who knew?), Shakiness (especially in my hands, EXCESSIVE sweating, Low Lebido (to the point of apathy. I don’t really even try to have sex even though the opportunities are readily available to me), and most other symptoms but you get the idea.
This was all the norm to me, or at least I thought. Up until January 1st of this year, when one night (I was very high, marijuana)I had some stomach pains (which are normal to me, considering I have ‘streaks’ of constipation lasting up to a week, week and a half) and all the sudden, they ended and I felt relief.. but to my dismay, I noticed my penis shrinking, very tense in the middle (while flaccid), ‘receding in’, as well as turning white at the head! I had a panic attack which I now know worsens the condition, took a shower to get the color back, and then went to bed.
Symptoms were gone the next day, and so I took it easy and did not masturbate for about a week and then I started again, limiting myself to only once every 2 or 3 days. 3 weeks later the symptoms returned, as I had taken an excess of benadryl in order to hallucinate…(these are the only two drugs I have ever taken by the way, and benadryl only one time and never will again). Again, this shrinkage, hard flaccid, and loss of color occurs and I take a shower and go to bed, to find that it returns the next morning.
So to shorten the story a bit, it is now a week later since that night and I have gone to the ER, they told me everything looks perfectly fine physically and could not find what the problem was; I have gone to a Urologist who said the same thing, and then ‘false-diagnosed’ me with kidney stones which I know now I have none. After reading a lot of the articles here I understand that it is a somewhat common condition and most of the time is reversible (which I hope it is in my case). I have since discontinued my marijuana use altogether.
(Might I add, that the urologist I went to told me to masturbate more, to relieve symptoms)
However this brings me to a question, what now? I am 100% willing to abstain from masturbating for however long it takes for this to heal properly, be it a week, month, or even a year. I just want to live a normal life with a normal penis again.

It’s usually difficult to develop severe enough sexual exhaustion for just 2 years and especially when that young. You could have been in the “mild sexual exhaustion” stage tho.
I’d say that what you experience is more likely related to some spine/nerve malfunction of some sort. Don’t get me wrong, sexual exhaustion with marijuana may have caused it but they DO NOT sustain it currently. The breaking happens once and you have to fix it with other sources.
You are a bit young to be sexually exhausted, but it’s not impossible.
The stomach pains may be unrelated (I’ve had similar) to the specific condition but then again our organisms are like domino. You may want to diminish the frequency of masturbation and just chill out, bro. See how that goes.
