How do I stop masturbating regularly?

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

Patient's Query

Hi,

I am a 26-year-old male, and I used to indulge in sports activities since childhood, but now I am working in MNC. I have a habit of masturbation. So to stop the habit, I decided to go to the gym, but it has been one month, and I still masturbate at weekends. I knew that by masturbating, I would lose my energy and weight. I am passionate about building good muscles and becoming handsome, but my gym trainer has no hope. Should I go to the gym? Can I masturbate daily? Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query, and I can understand your concern.

Masturbating two to three times a week is fine, but since your masturbation has started to affect your daily work routine, you must control it. You cannot stop masturbation totally because it is not a permanent solution. You can try these measures:

1) Find out the cause of excessive masturbation. It could be because you are bored, lonely, stressed, or watching too much porn.

2) Keep your mind active and busy at all times, either through curricular or extracurricular activities.

3) Try to identify and focus on activities that make you feel better. Motivate yourself to do things for yourself. So, continue with the gym routine and make it your passion.

4) Talk with your friends and family and join a gym with your friends so that you spend maximum time outside where you cannot indulge in masturbation.

I would recommend that you do not masturbate for 10 days and keep yourself busy when sexual thoughts come to your mind.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
