What Is The Cause Excessive Masturbating Tendency?

My friend was consistently severely sexually abused as a child and through her teenage years. She was used as a child sex slave. Also sadly, her psychiatrist also sexually abused her. Fortunately now 47 she has found the courage for psychotherapy. She is beginning to release her anger, emotional pain, and the mistrust of women. The doc was a woman who abused her. She has been masturbating excessively and she can't stop. She said she never experienced anything like that before. Why is she masturbating so much as she is facing her the hurt the doctor inflicted on her?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Sex addiction in a sense is not an addiction at all. Sex in itself is a natural process and excess may cause momentary physical weakness. Mental disorders such as anxiety is due to over thinking / over worrying about the habit. A habit is a habit, and masturbation is just that. She is already 47. Psychotherapy has answers to this problem too. Work with your psychotherapist.

If you need more of my help in this regard, Please post a direct question to me on this portl with every possible details. I shall provide you with Cognitive Behavior Therapy steps which should clear the problems.

Hope this answers your query. Availble for further clarifications.
Good luck.
