<s>[INST] I am a 18 year old male. I was watching TV when I felt that my penis had fallen asleep as it feels when an arm or leg falls asleep. I dont know if it is normal and if I should go to the emergency room. Additionally I have been masturbating a lot recently. [/INST] HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern and looking to the given history here I could say that, you mean to say that erection is not there if this is your question then let me tell you that the erection actually takes place in the cerebral cortex, looking to your age this is very common myth about the erection and this is not true at all just forget about this, nothing is wrong with the function of erection have a nice day. </s>
