Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,
Thanks for writing in to hcm.
This is Dr.Riyanka and I am glad to be helping you with your query.
Masturbation and seeing pornography is an acceptable form of male sexual activity and most males have done it at some time in their life. While doing in at a younger age is perfectly normal as long it does not affect your daily routine activities, after marriage, your partner needs to be involved in your sexual experiences and if you are doing masturbation and watching pornography alone or against her wishes then this is needs to be controlled.
As a first step to control masturbation and pornography, please share your sexual feelings with your partner and spend more time having sex with your partner than doing masturbation. If you like masturbation more then you can involve your partner in mutual masturbation and she will feel more secure in the relationship.
If you feel that you are addicted to pornography then please remove all pornography content from your computer, phone and any such electronic accessible devices. Try and have a talk with your partner on your intention to stop pornography and this can help you a lot. Whenever you get thoughts of pornography, please involve in talks with your partner and spend time in making your emotional bond stronger. Pay more attention to your partners needs.
Hope this answers your query.
Do write back if you have any further doubts.
If you are satisfied with my reply then please close this thread and leave a feedback.

Hello Sir,
Thanks for writing back with a follow up.
Controlling sexual thoughts in the beginning can be difficult but with time and understanding, you can overcome it.
(i) Please start your day by doing 30 minutes of yoga or brisk walking. This will make you active for the day and then free your mind.
(ii) Stay away from your computer, XXXXXXX or any other source of pornography.
(iii) Try not to touch your genital organs except when having bath and using washroom. Do not spend more than needed time in washrooms.
(iv) Always have a good book or study material which you can read when you feel restless.
(v) Try and be with friends and colleagues and avoid being alone.
(vi) In evenings if you feel lonely then go for a small walk.
(vii) Have healthy food habits.
(viii) Sleep on time.
(ix) Keep a target of not masturbating for 10 days in the beginning and then extend you target each time by 10 days and soon when you are without masturbation for a month, your sexual thoughts will decrease.
Medicine is usually not required to treat masturbation addiction. It is started only when you are neglecting your daily routine and under supervision of a psychiatrist.
There are no benefits of masturbation addiction because it affects your routine work and relationships.
