Should Masturbation Habit Be Stopped After Actively Involving In Sex?

am a 24 yrs guy, i started masturbating at the age of 13 and doing the same till today everyday. i have a girlfriend,we are having sex thrice a week and i m fully satisfied with this. but the main problem is that the bad thinking always knocks the door on my mind and with these i masturbate usually thrice a day. I think it is bad habit but i have not been able to control myself. i want to ask you that is that extent of masturbating harmful for our mental and physical health? What can be done to minimize the sexual desire?

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have been indulged in masturbation since many years.

Masturbation is one of the means to get sexual satisfaction in absence of female partner.Since you have a girlfriend and enjoying sex thrice a week I would suggest you to refrain yourself from masturbation.

Though it is harmless, excessive and frequent habitual masturbation does affect quality of erection and delays ejaculation.Please try to reduce the frequency of masturbation by keeping your self busy in activities like sports,reading ,social work etc so that you will not get free time to masturbate.
