I'm really struggling with masturbation, it's become a daily thing. I'm doing it once every day and I just can't seem to control it. I've watched different videos for help, but nothing seems to work. Can you give me some advice on how to manage or reduce this habit?

To overcome daily masturbation, consider these steps:

  • Seek Professional Help: Consult a therapist or counselor to address underlying issues.
  • Identify Triggers: Be aware of situations or emotions that lead to masturbation.
  • Find Alternatives: Engage in physical activities, hobbies, or creative pursuits.
  • Practice Mindfulness: Use meditation or deep breathing to manage stress and emotions.
  • Set Goals and Track Progress: Use a journal or mobile app to monitor your progress.
  • Build a Support Network: Share your struggles with a trusted friend or family member.
  • Limit Exposure to Explicit Content: Avoid watching explicit videos or limit your screen time.

I'm experiencing something kinda strange: I wake up in the middle of the night and find myself masturbating, but it's like I'm only half-aware while it's happening. I remember it clearly the next day, though. This has been going on for about 3-4 months now, mainly during sleep every 5-6 days. I don't feel the urge or masturbate during the day at allI've stopped doing that since a year ago because I'm trying to focus on my studies and stay out of relationships. It's got me feeling pretty down. I really want to stop this unconscious night-time habit. Any advice on what might be happening and how I can manage it?

It sounds like you're experiencing a form of sleep-related behavior, which could be related to your subconscious mind, stress, or other underlying factors. It's important to address any feelings of anxiety or stress and consider speaking with a counselor or medical professional who can help you manage this situation and find ways to regain control over your sleep and well-being.

I'm trying to understand the meds I'm taking. My doctor first gave me Etilaam Pro 20 for my anxiety for about 20 days, and when I went back after 15 days, he switched me to Recita Forte for 10 days. Are these two medicines basically the same and used for the same purpose?
