I'm struggling to manage my hand practice habits. Sometimes I even end up doing it twice a day. I'm worried and not sure how to get it under control. Can you offer any advice or strategies to help manage this?

Question

I've been eating raw rice since I was a kid, and now I find myself doing it about 23 times a day. I'm starting to worry if this habit is harmful to my body. Can you advise me on how to stop this?

I'm 24 and I've been masturbating since I was 18. I usually do it at least once a day, sometimes twice, and I've stayed healthy so far. But I'm starting to worry it might start affecting my life negatively, since I'm having trouble concentrating on other things. Is too much masturbation bad for me? And if so, how do I stop?
