I'm really concerned about the effects of masturbation and I'm curious about how I can stop it. I've been doing it for the past two years and it's starting to feel like an addiction. Can you help me understand more about this?

Masturbation is a natural activity, but if it feels like an addiction and interferes with daily life, it can have emotional and psychological effects, such as guilt, anxiety, or reduced energy. To reduce or stop, its important to focus on healthy coping mechanisms, like exercise, hobbies, and managing stress, while seeking support from a counselor or therapist if needed.
