Question

I'm really concerned because I've been masturbating every day and I'm not sure how to stop. Could this be affecting my sex life, and do I need any medication to help with this? What can I do to stop masturbating so much?

Masturbating daily is generally not harmful unless it interferes with your daily life, relationships, or well-being. To reduce or stop, try engaging in healthier habits like physical exercise, focusing on hobbies, or practicing mindfulness. If it's causing distress, consulting a healthcare professional can help to explore further options or counseling for behavior management.
