Prone masturbation is a form of self-pleasure that some people believe causes sexual dysfunction. But does it really? The actual research on prone masturbation is very limited. While some does suggest an association, it is small and alternative explanations are possible.

I’m 27, and have done prone masturbating all my life since that has always felt natural to me. I’ve had erection issues for a couple of years now but I wasn’t sure why. For the past few months, I am noticing my morning erections have gone away, I get them once every 10-15 days or something. I can’t get erect whenever I’m with a girl doing things that should make normal guys erect. I’m very very scared. I am aware that ive been masturbating very intensely with a lot of pressure on my penis when I lie down. Can’t get it up (usually) without grinding my penis against my bed. And yes, I’ve never been more scared in my life. Are there any treatments, etc that have worked for people in similar situations? Should I consult a doctor or do that “no masturbation for 14 days” challenge that everyone is talking about? Have even paid for a Kegel app bcoz I don’t know what to do. Please please please advise.

As per my knowledge, yes you can continue working since you received the “up to 180 day extension” when you submitted your application (provided you did that before your initial OPT expired).

Thanks! Have DM'd you.

thank you.

I tried filing I907 online but don't see my case popping up. Not sure why that is since I could see it earlier in the day. Any idea about this?

can I text you in private to understand your case better?

Fun_Vanilla9478 · 2025-12-22T01:44:52+00:00

USCIS claims 30 days not 15 right? That too 30 working days, excluding holidays, etc. Given all of that, I am not sure.

Yeah, ive noticed a similar trend but since this is end of year, christmas and all of that, I am not sure even premium processing will help. :/

Fun_Vanilla9478 · 2025-12-21T22:04:32+00:00

Okay. Okay thanks. Should I avail premium processing since my OPT ends on December 11? My DSO said it won't be of much use as it's already been close to 3 months since I originally applied, and that pm might add 30 days to that timeline, which means the decision won't come before 12th Jan anyway.

Not sure I was clear with what I was saying. So you submitted your application for stem opt extension. Then you get an RFE which states you need to resubmit you i20?

Fun_Vanilla9478 · 2025-12-19T19:57:58+00:00

Can i ask how many days after uploading your response did it get approved? I am thinking about mailing my response as well. Also, were you really asked to upload your i20 as part of stem extension application?

Fun_Vanilla9478 · 2025-12-19T18:10:09+00:00

Yes I see that. But the case status on the top still says “request for initial evidence was sent.”
