<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.hi doc. I am a masturbation addict and ave been practising for 5 years now and am totally devastated. I just wanna run away from my presnt life where this does not happen at all.All the techniques they seem too small when the sexual urge starts and i commit masturbation again.I am not leading a healthy life please help  <response>: Hi,First make clear that masturbation is safe and pleasure giving techniques. You dont need to worry or feel shy if you masturbate. The excess masturbation is not good because it can cause social anxiety and chronic fatigue. So restrict masturbation up to 2-3 times a week maximum. Yoga and meditation will be helpful. Dont watch porn videos if it is habit-forming for masturbation. Make short term and long term goals in life and try to fulfill it. Hope I have answered your question Let me know if I can assist you further
