Hello doctor, I am 21 years old. How to control masturbation because I am daily doing it alone, and how to manage my health?
Hello. Masturbation is a natural process which occurs in hands in spite of the vagina. But having sex and inserting penis in vagina is also associated with increased arousal and sexual feelings and a sense of love and affection, whereas masturbation is opposite, masturbation is a self-pleasure technique in which you try to achieve the same sense of sexual pleasure being alone. Remember, all the same hormones are never involved as it does give pleasure, but it is not the same. Along with that, please remember doing anything in excess can harm you. Drinking water is good, but drinking a lot of water without having a measure is harmful. So if you want to masturbate you can do it, go ahead but remember one thing, do not masturbate more than two times in a day to lead a healthy life. I would suggest you masturbate on weekends or regularly like two to three times a week is also a perfect approach. Harmful effects of masturbation are less, and a result very chronicity, for example, masturbation can lead to an increase in weight. You will gain weight more than you have expected. Secondly, you will have less testosterone in your body because you will be draining out all the testosterone due to masturbation so this will lead to loss of libido which means you will have less sexual Desire and decreased sexual arousal with time. I hope that I answered your question if you have any more query regarding this feel free to take the follow-up and consult me.
