How To Overcome Masturbation Addiction?

Hi, my name is Jenn and I masturbate quite frequently, like around 3-6 times a day, and sometimes even while I m at school, I will run to the bathroom and masturbate, it s like I don t care where I am, I just have to touch myself and reach an orgasm, Ihave had this problem since I was 7 and I am now 14. Do I have an addiction to masturbating, how can I tell ?

Hello,

Masturbation is normal, it’s just another way of having sex without a partner. It’s a good practice, helps to calm your mind and release happy and stress bursting enzymes.

Having 2 to 3 times a week is not an issue, more than that is also not an issue, but needs adequate nutrition and exercise which will be difficult to fulfill.

Ways to reduce Masturbation

1.     Sex education
2.     Physical exercises
3.     Sleep adjustment
4.     Quality of sleep
5.     Healthy and balanced diet
6.     Programming for leisure time
7.     Development of spirituality
8.     Taking a cold bath

If these methods don't work need to meet a psychiatrist in person.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr S.R.Raveendran, Sexologist
