Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Masturbation is normal. Ninety-five percent of male does that, and it is just another way of having sex without a partner. It has the following advantages.

1. It helps to relieve stress.

2. Boosts mood.

3. Improves sleep.

4. Helps to prevent depression and anxiety.

5. Relaxes the mind of a person.

6. Relieves pain and muscle cramps.

7. Relieves the sexual tension.

8. Improves the confidence of a person.

9. Allows one to have better sex.

10. Helps the person understand his needs and desires.

11. In females, masturbation increases vaginal blood flow.

Masturbation would not harm your penis. Having it two to three times a week is not an issue. However, more than that can cause tiredness, loss of concentration, sense of infertility. I suggest the following 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.

For tiredness or a decrease in strength, you can use a capsule of Astymin forte, a vitamin supplement once a morning, and a tablet of Shelcal (Calcium and Vitamin D3) once a night after food for thirty days. You can consult your specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their advice.

Thank you.
