I'm curious about whether it's normal to masturbate regularly, like once a day or a few times a week. I've started doing it again after a few years of stopping, and while it doesn't mess with my daily routine or work, I do feel more relaxed afterward. Should I be worried about this habit or is it okay to continue as long as it's not affecting my life adversely?

Masturbation, whether occasional or frequent, is generally a normal activity and can have both positive and negative effects. Occasional masturbation can reduce stress and help with relaxation, but frequent or compulsive behavior may lead to feelings of fatigue, distraction, or affect motivation. If you feel it's impacting your energy levels or daily life, it might be helpful to assess your habits and consider moderation.

I'm feeling really embarrassed about a situation that happened when I went to the medical store to buy condoms. There were so many people around, and when I finally got the nerve to ask for them, everyone started laughing, and now I'm really nervous about trying again. How can I handle this better next time without feeling so anxious?

To avoid embarrassment, you can simply walk up to the pharmacist or store staff and say: "Excuse me, may I have a packet of condoms, please ?" or "Can you show me the condom section?" or "I need a packet of [specific brand name] condoms"; if you're still uncomfortable, consider buying online
