I'm 22 now, and I've been masturbating since I was 13. I just can't seem to stop, especially when I'm feeling stressed. I'm starting to worry about whether this is normal or if it's something I should be concerned about long-term. Is it okay to use it as a stress reliever, or could it negatively impact my health or well-being?

I'm 23 and I've never had sex before. I've been trying to have sex with my boyfriend, but every time he tries to put it in, I start to panic and resist. I think I might have developed a phobia about having sex, and it feels like it's really deep-rooted in my mind. I'm really worried about how this is going to affect my sexual life and relationship. Could you give me some advice?

It's natural to feel anxious about intimacy, especially if it's a new experience. What you're describing could be related to **fear or anxiety around penetration**, potentially vaginismus or a psychological barrier. I recommend starting with open communication with your partner, practicing relaxation techniques, and consulting a therapist or gynecologist to address these feelings in a safe and supportive way.

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?

doing it daily is not good . Do itonce in a week ,if you are habituated to it
