Lessen the frequency and divert attention

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Need not worry, its not pathological to have increased libido and this happens when you give it more time. I suggest you to divert your attention into games specially outdoor games and anything which does not involve persons of opposite sex.

Frequent masturbation can lead to problems like depression, infections, lethargic etc. Masturbating every alternate day is healthy.

Do not go for any medication from the market which may promise to lessen the libido, as there are no such medications at al.

Hope, I answered your query.

Please do ask if any doubts.

Regards,
