Masturbating face down - cause of problems

[softtouch]

I learned to masturbate by doing it face down against my bed. When I tried to have sex the first time, I had trouble getting erect. When I was first sexually active, I could only reach orgasm about a third of the time. I looked on the internet for my problem and found that masturbating face down is a problem called Traumatic Masturbatory Syndrome. (Not everyone agrees that this is a problem though.) I followed the advice on the http://www.healthystrokes.com website and learned to masturbate with my hand. Since then I have had a lot easier time having sex.

I thought I would share my experience and ask if others have experienced the same. Or are there men who have only ever masturbated face down and DON'T have sexual problems?

Not exactly face down but my favorite method has always been humping my pillow in a number of positions, such as laying on my back with the pillow between my legs, sitting on the edge of the bed with one corner of the pillow tucked under my ass and rubbing the pillow against my cock, or straddling the pillow and sort of riding it.

I have never had problems with normal sex or with getting an erection, but maybe humping a soft pillow is different from humping the bed...

I read somewhere masturbating in certain ways can cause damaged to the urethra or something (causing pee to come out as a spray from what was described)

but beyond that, not that i know of
