Based on what you've described, it is very unlikely that trying to delay ejaculation during masturbation has permanently caused erectile dysfunction. After ejaculation, it is completely normal for the penis to become soft and for it to be difficult to achieve another erection for some time. This is called the refractory period, and its duration varies from person to person depending on age, stress, sleep, and overall health.
If your difficulty getting an erection started immediately after this episode, it is more likely to be due to temporary fatigue, anxiety, or worrying that something has gone wrong rather than physical damage. The more you focus on checking your erections, the more anxiety can interfere with normal sexual function.

Health Tips
Avoid excessive masturbation or repeatedly checking whether you can get an erection, as this often increases performance anxiety. Maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, adequate sleep, a balanced diet, and stress management. If you use pornography frequently, reducing its use for a period may also help restore natural arousal. Remember, one episode of prolonged masturbation or delayed ejaculation does not permanently damage the penis or cause irreversible erectile dysfunction, and most men recover completely without any long-term effects. Thank you

First, please take a deep breath and be completely reassured: you do not have permanent or structural erectile dysfunction, and you have not damaged your penis or reproductive system.
What you are experiencing right after intentional edging (trying to delay ejaculation) and a large volume release is a combination of two normal phenomena:
A Prolonged Refractory Period: Prolonged arousal followed by ejaculation causes a temporary spike in prolactin and a drop in dopamine. This triggers the natural, physiological "refractory period," during which the nervous system temporarily prevents a new erection to allow tissue recovery.
Acute Performance Anxiety: Worrying about your erection right after ejaculating causes your sympathetic nervous system to release adrenaline. Adrenaline constricts blood vessels in the penis, physically blocking erectile tissue from filling with blood. The fear of ED is what creates the temporary inability to get an erection, not any actual damage from masturbation.
Next Steps
Give Your Body Time to Rest: Avoid testing your erections or attempting to masturbate for a few days. Allowing your neurochemical levels (prolactin and dopamine) to reset naturally will restore normal function.
Stop Excessive "Edging" Practices: Trying to forcefully hold back ejaculation during intense masturbation can cause pelvic floor strain and heightened nerve fatigue. Practice relaxed, natural climax habits instead.
Consult a Urologist or Sexologist for Reassurance: If the difficulty achieving an erection persists beyond 1 to 2 weeks due to ongoing anxiety, a single consultation with a specialist can confirm healthy vascular function and offer peace of mind.
Health Tips
The belief that releasing a large volume of semen drains your body's strength or permanently causes ED is medically false. Semen is continuously produced by the seminal vesicles and prostate, and its volume fluctuates naturally based on hydration and time between ejaculations.
Avoid Checking Your Erection: Constantly checking to see if you can get hard puts your brain in an "evaluative state," which triggers performance stress and prevents spontaneous arousal.
Focus on General Health: Ensure adequate hydration, engage in regular cardiovascular exercise, and get 7–8 hours of quality sleep to support optimal pelvic blood flow and nerve recovery.
