How can one avoid excessive masturbation?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 23 years old and started masturbating when I was in school. Since then, I have struggled to control it, as it seems to control me. I eat a healthy diet, exercise five days a week, and have other responsibilities, but I still feel the urge at times. I am worried that it is affecting my genitals and sperm count, and I usually ejaculate within four minutes. During the previous month, I made an effort to uphold streaks as part of the antimasturbation website, and I managed to sustain my longest streak for 35 days. However, recently, I have found myself masturbating every two or three days. Can you please provide a solution for this?

Kindly help.

Hello,

I appreciate that you have chosen icliniq.com for your medical needs.

I am here to give you the best care possible.

I can understand your concern.

Masturbation is normal; ninety-five percent of males do it. It is just another way of having sex without a partner. It is a healthy practice because:

  1. It helps relieve stress.
  2. Boosts mood.
  3. Improves sleep.
  4. Helps prevent depression and anxiety.
  5. Relaxes the mind.
  6. Relieves pain and muscle cramps.
  7. Eases sexual tension.
  8. Improves confidence.
  9. Enhances sexual experiences.
  10. Helps understand personal needs and desires.
  11. In females, it increases vaginal blood flow.

Masturbation will not harm your penis. Doing it two to three times a week is not an issue, but more than that can cause tiredness, loss of concentration, and a sense of infertility.

Ways to reduce Masturbation:

  1. Sex education.
  2. Physical exercises.
  3. Adjusting sleep patterns.
  4. Ensuring quality sleep.
  5. Maintaining a healthy and balanced diet.
  6. Scheduling leisure time.
  7. Fostering spirituality.
  8. Taking cold baths.

For tiredness or decreased strength, I suggest you take:

  1. Capsule Astymin Forte (amino acid and vitamin supplement) once in the morning.
  2. Tablet Shelcal (calcium and vitamin D3) once at night after food for 30 days.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at icliniq.

Thank you.
