Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 20-year-old boy. I have sexual urge all the time, and as a result, I masturbate a lot. I go gym, but due to my addiction to masturbation. In the gym, I cannot lift weights at my limit, and my two friends, whom I go with, lift easily (they say they do not do it). So tell me, what is the problem with me? Why do I get so horny? I just cannot stand it, and I masturbate. Is there any solution to it?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

This is a common problem that many people face, and it can be difficult to overcome without help. It is important to speak with a qualified counselor or therapist to help you gain control of your sexual urges and learn how to manage them in a healthy way. It has a psychological effect in a way that other things like study, work, and social life get hampered. So, if it has reached that level where your other lifeways are getting hampered, then you need to cut down in frequency. This is the only disadvantage of this. You can reduce it by channeling your strength and focus on other important things. As you are 30, I assume you might be getting married or married. Involve in sexual activity more so you will not feel the need to masturbate. Basically, it is just focusing on other important things and decreasing the frequency.

I hope I have answered your query well.

If you have any more queries, kindly write back to me. I will be happy to answer them.

Thank you.
