Hello, I want to know how I can stop masturbating? I am waking up in the middle of the night realising that I am masturbating. But for some reason, I can t stop myself and it is near impossible for me to snap out of it . I am a female, I m single and although I ve been sexually active before, I haven t had sex in a few years as I have taken a vow of celibacy. I have been keeping track of how often these episodes occur, and it is rougly 4-5 times a month. Please can you suggest possible treatments as this is really upsetting me and disrupting my sleep. Thank you.
