Hi there.
I hear you Girl & empathise with you.
Firstly, let me tell you there is nothing to be ashamed about.
A lot of people have similar urges & suppress them or don't have an outlet for them. You seem to be in control of your destiny.
Second, Sex albeit taboo in some countries, is actually an 'isometric' exercise & has many health benefits. I will not be drawn into the moral dilemma of things & to me, that is a personal equation with your maker if you believe in one.
Third, my sincere plea, request or advice (call it what you like) is to please use a condom & practice "safe sex" at all costs. You are still young & have a long life ahead of you & can do so much with it...do NOT throw it away by being irresponsible. By all means, indulge if you please but make it a RULE that it is "safe" both in your interest & those of your partner/s.
If indeed you still feel that you need to curb this urge, then you need to be counselled in person as this may not be the ideal portal to sort out an issue such as yours both for reasons' of discretion or privacy & practicality.
If in the Bangalore, India region, please feel free to drop in for a chat at Vikram Hospital or Sita Bhateja Hospital when time permits & you may alternatively pick up the phone & get in touch if that seems more plausible.
Trust this will have helped you cope & know that you are not alone. Taking this further is your call.
Good Luck & wish you continued good health from the HCM team.
