I'm 22 now, and I've been masturbating since I was 13. I just can't seem to stop, especially when I'm feeling stressed. I'm starting to worry about whether this is normal or if it's something I should be concerned about long-term. Is it okay to use it as a stress reliever, or could it negatively impact my health or well-being?
