According to findings published online in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, unusual masturbation techniques could have adverse effects on sexual intercourse.
In the study, researchers found four cases of unusual masturbation practices (defined in the study as techniques not able to be recreated by a partner’s hand, mouth or vagina) which led to abnormal sexual functioning in partnered sexual activities. The men in the study had sexual dysfunctions such as inability to ejaculate, abnormally low libido, ED and ejaculatory anhedonia (inability to gain pleasure from orgasm).
