Is masturbation affecting my sex life?

As a young man I had a strict no masturbation policy. When I started having sex I noticed that unlike most men the foreskin of my penis was not very elastic and wouldn't stretch back exposing my glans . However, that never stopped me from having an orgasm and I enjoyed sex with my girlfriends. It only affected me if I wore a condom in which case it took my some time to come. As I became older sex became more sporadic and I started masturbating. I used to stimulate the tip of my penis. There was a long period of time where I didn't have sex. Then I started dating again. Lately I was having sex with my date and I was not hitting any of my sensitive spots that I used to hit while masturbating. As a result of which I found it tough to keep my penis erect. I could see that my dates were getting frustrated with me and it took me about 45 - 55 mins to come. I was wearing a condom. This happened with another date again and now I am petrified. Should I stop masturbating or should I buy a sex toy that mimics a realistic vagina if I want to masturbate. Should I explain clearly to my dates that I have trouble keeping an erection up and getting an orgasm? Are there any OTC pills that will help me stay hard?

Well masturbating by stimulating the tip of your penis will give you a different sensation than from intercourse, so use a different method when you're on your own.Maybe something like a masturbation sleeve would help.

I find I take much longer to come with a condom no matter how thin so you're not alone there but make sure you're wearing one that fits properly. If it's too tight it will impair your erection and give you a problem staying hard.

Make sure you're relaxed as well because you won't perform well if you're worried about how it's going to go
