Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX,
Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.
First of all I want to clarify about the masturbation.
Masturbation is natural and normal thing. It is done by 95% of the males in the world, mostly before marriage as well as when wife is away, in menses or pregnant after marriage. It is not at all harmful. Frequency of masturbation done by an individual varies from once a day to once a week. It depends upon individual libido, wish and timing. It neither causes any weakness nor any problem in sexual activity. No need to worry about your habit of masturbation.
In general masturbation can be stopped with will and for that motivational counseling by a specialist can help However there it is not necessary to stop masturbation completely.
After understanding this please let me know following:
- Since when do you masturbate?
- What is frequency of masturbation in your case?
- What is the position of masturbation?
- Why do you want to stop the masturbation?
I will be happy to help further after your response.
