Brief Answer:
it is likely Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or addiction of masturbation
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
You history suggests that either you have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or you have been addicted to masturbation. Whatever the diagnosis treatment remains almost the same.
OCD is very common psychiatric disorder and absolutely treatable condition.
Obsessions are intrusive unwanted thoughts of sex which are in excess than required according to patient like sexual thoughts in your case.
Compulsions are acts person has to do in response to obsessions like masturbation or watching porn in your case.
Treatment includes both medicines and behavior cum psychotherapy. In medicines SSRI group of drugs are used in higher dose and few weeks are required to improve. In psychotherapy I prefer CBT- Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
In SSRI fluoxetine or fluvoxamine is preferable. Sertraline is also useful but dose should be increased up to 200 mg.
Consult psychiatrist specifically if you have not consulted yet.
You need psychotherapy and counselling with medicines.
Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
Regards
Dr.Chintan Solanki.

Brief Answer:
no it is not all life threatening
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If I were your treating doctor I would recommend fluoxetine 20 mg to start with and then increased up to 80 mg according to response. Initially while you start behavior therapy I would also like to give day time low dose anti anxiety benzodiazepine like clonazepam or etizolam for short duration.
OCD is absolutely treatable condition and not at all life threatening. You must need right treatment from a psychiatrist.
Consult local psychiatrist, share my opinion and start the treatment.
Hope this will help. Do not hesitate to ask further if you have any doubt.
All the best.

Brief Answer:
It is ok for feedback,I am sorry for not being able to provide prescription
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It is ok for negative feedback. It may help in my service improvement. But you can edit and give feedback again if you wish I guess.
I am not aware about medicine system of Iraq. But yes in UK you must have valid legal written prescription to buy the medicines.
I am sorry for limitation of online services (you must have read in terms and conditions). You need to consult doctor to take the prescription. Online prescription is not valid. And it is better to take medicine after consulting local doctor so any side effect occurs by chance doctor can provide immediate help.
Take care and wish you good health.
