Brief Answer:
Not a problem
Detailed Answer:
Hi there, happy to know that you shared your problem, I shall try to help.
Just don't think much about it. Take it easy. Its done by every individual on earth. Every body gets pleasure by doing it. Don't try hard to get rid of it as it will only put you in stress and you will not be able to get over it. There are some periods in life when it becomes a habit and believe me this habit will also go away spontaneously at some point of time. Try to mingle with girls, start having frequent dates, enjoy parties. Go out and meet the world and take it as it is and as you do so you will learn things which will encourage you and make you confident. As other pleasures starts pouring in your life you will see the habit is fading away. Make yourself happy in indulging lots of activities.....
Hope this helps you. I shall be happy to answer further queries. Just remember its not a problem to worry about, be happy.

Hello,
Thanks for your answer.
I can't help thinking about it because I do it everyday and many a days more than once. Everyday I try to forget about it and then I get an urge to do it and then I feel guilty about doing it. This cycle has been happening for years now. It has deteriorated my confidence levels. I am a very ambitious person and I cannot afford losing hours everyday on this habit. Somehow I also feel that I have high libido because I get turned on quite easily.
I am in a long distance relationship and have spoken to my girlfriend about it. She understands the problem but she is also quite helpless. I am also social and mingle with people. I do play sports from time to time.
I know that over a period of time it might go away but right now I am at a very important stage of my career and I cannot afford losing time to this habit. Please advice me as to what to do.

Brief Answer:
having libido is good
Detailed Answer:
Don't feel guilty about it. Enjoy it. As you have no access to your girlfriend there is nothing wrong in doing it. Just don't feel guilty and don't fight with yourself , enjoying it will give you more pleasure and at sometime it will go away, as you will find better things to do. If you are feeling very stressed you can take Tab propranolol 10mg thrice daily after consulting a doctor and see the result.
