i am 45 now. since age 12 i masturbate. Nowadays i am not getting strong erections. while doing masturbation before ejculation i stretch my legs so that time i get a crack sound in my knee joint followed by very sound sleep. if i do not get that sound i find very difficult to get sleep. what should i do to get strong erections like my earlier years? is it bad if i get that cracking sound?
If you've been masturbating since you were 12, that would make about 33 years of sexual pleasure and experience, right?

It sounds like you may have conditioned yourself to expect this "crack" noise from your knee joint as an audio cue or physical sensation associated with the end of sex.

As for what this crack is, I speculate that it might be your knee popping. Is there any pain with it? I would stop it if you feel pain.
Otherwise, after 33 years, I doubt that it is causing damage.

However, as we age, our body changes. Our joints loose lubrication, and that may account for the "crack".

As for less firm erections, that is also a function of age. Some men experience this earlier than others.
Unfortunately, this is something that not many men will discuss with others. And so, it creeps up on younger men as they age, with little preparation or explaination.

You could visit a doctor to speak to him about a prescription for something like viagra or cilias, but these drugs have side effects that are not always pleasant.

Frankly, I would wait longer between periods of masturbation and see if your erection is not a bit more firm due to anticipation.

Good luck.
