I'm really struggling with a masturbation addiction. It seems like every time I have some free time, I end up doing it. Sometimes it's as much as three or four times a day, and it's really starting to affect me. I can't seem to gain any weight either. Could there be a connection, and what can I do to manage this habit better?
