Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 22-year-old law student. I struggle with thinking about sex all the time. I also masturbate 3 to 4 times daily, because of which I am unable to concentrate on my study. I have had this problem for three years now. Please help me.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

You have not given proper information about your query. At your age, it is quite common to have sexual ideas about masturbation which is just like night falls, as masturbation is a natural process. But I would like to mention a fact here that masturbation or night falls is a totally normal response to sex videos or even without sex videos. Almost every male does masturbation and most females too, so there is no harm in masturbating even daily. There is no physical weakness after masturbation, it is all psychological weakness. Also, it does not cause faster aging.

Masturbation is totally normal and will never affect your sexual life in the future. There is no need to take any medicine to stop this because this is not a disease. It will end after marriage when you find your partner. Even in some instances after marriage like during the pregnancy period of the wife, immediately after childbirth, almost all husbands masturbate. Masturbation does not make you weak and it has no negative impact on your sexual well-being, and it will not affect your physique or fitness.

All of us masturbate, it is a totally normal phenomenon, not a bad habit or disease like addiction and obsession and never affects your physical health. There is no relation between semen and blood. It is also a myth that semen leaks during peeing, as it is impossible. But what does leak is a normal secretion of the prostate.

So, eat healthy and stay healthy.

Thank you and take care.
