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?

I'm struggling with masturbation; it's something I do every day, even though I don't like it. After I masturbate, I feel like I can't get anything done, and it leaves me feeling ashamed. Can you help me find a way to stop doing it for good?

There are ways to help reduce the urge. One option is to try counseling or therapy to address any underlying issues that may be contributing to the behavior. Additionally, you can consider medications like fluoxetine (Prozac) under the guidance of a healthcare professional to help manage compulsive behaviors. It's important to seek support and guidance to address this issue effectively.
