Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxx.xxx34,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. Masturbation within limits is a safe and pleasurable sexual activity enjoyed by most people. This basically releases sexual tension and is also lowers stress. It is said that masturbation is normal 2 to 3 times a week and up to once a day.
2. Masturbating daily is not recommended and can cause back and leg pain due to muscle spasm and strain on the lower back during masturbation. Masturbation becomes a problem when your mind is busy with thoughts of masturbation and sexual nature and you are unable to concentrate on your work and study. To reduce it you have to avoid sexual thoughts in your mind when alone or at night before you sleep.
You can do the following to control excessive masturbation.
(i) Read books after dinner till you fall asleep.
(ii) Go out for short walk after dinner
(iii) Avoid sexual thoughts when alone and if such thoughts come then talk to a friend or listen to music.
(iv) Do exercises in the evening and try to keep yourself fit
(v) Keep yourself occupied in productive activities before sleeping like planning for the next day, making time for study or business work
3. Till you get married you can masturbate 2 to 3 times a week as per your choice. This is perfectly normal and acceptable male behavior.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
