Hey, I'm really trying to shake off this habit of excessive masturbation. I'm worried it might be messing with my body and nerves because I feel super nervous and can't face anyone. Could this be from too much masturbation? I'm 23 years old. Is it too late for me to quit and get back to normal? How do I overcome this?
