I only get properly horny after not masturbating for about 5+ days

I'm a 32 year old guy and how horny I'm getting depends very strongly on how long ago it is that I last masturbated/came. It's been like that for many years. I know this is the case for everyone to some extend, but it seems too much in my case.

When I don't come for like 7-9 days I will get as horny as I've ever been, which is great and I don't have any issues at all. Also getting regular spontaneous erections and things like that.

After coming (especially mastburbating, i.e. not sex with another person) I will barely get horny at all for a couple of days. I have little interest in sex and would avoid getting into the situation where I could have sex with a woman, because I've had some experiences where I couldn't get an erection. I'm really aware and feel bad during these days.

I'm going out and dating regularly and I'm always busy planning around this issue, like trying to make sure I don't come like 7 days (which seems to be the sweet spot..) before having an occasion for sex. It's obviously very annoying to do this..

Like I said, I know everyone has this to some extend, but the difference is really between 0 and 100 (all totally fine and sex is amazing after waiting for a week) for me. Does anyone else experience this? And might there be anything I could do about this? Thanks!
