How To Stop Masturbation?

Im a 23 year old male, with very frequent nightly ejaculations, about 2 -3 times a week. Is it unusual to have this beyond the teen years? These are not preceded by erotic dreams, in fact i am not sexually aroused during the day either. Im not currently sexually active, is that the cause? I read that masturbation can cause these, but i haven't masturbated in a very long time. I dont have any backache, or fatigue the following morning, no problems really, except for the fact that it is embaressing and annoying. Is this a medical problem? Do i need to consult a doctor? Is there any way to stop this?

Dear user,
Thank you for writing to HCM.
I understand your concerns about night emissions.
There is nothing unusual to have this. It can occur at any age, common in those who are less sexually active (Not engaged in masturbation or sexual intercourse with partner).
Semen is a body fluid which keeps on generated in body like other body fluids as blood, saliva and tears. When you donate one unit of blood (350ml) your body makes it again within 1 month. Similarly when you spit, the mouth restores saliva soon. When you cry, the lost tears get restored by our eyes and they do not get dry. Thus semen also keeps on being generated by our sex organs. Semen is being manufactured by genital organs continuously; it has to be expelled by some means.
This situation is just akin to a glass of full water to which you add more water, with the logical result that it overflows! This happens to semen too. If one neither has sex nor masturbation for long time, semen gets expelled in the form of night emissions, which is normal.
Masturbation doesn't cause it but reduces night emissions.
This is not a disease. No need for any treatment.
You may simply use sanitary pad temporarily. Night emission will gradually disappear when you become sexually active.
Wish you good health.
