Frequent Masturbation, Addicted To Pornography, Feeling Disconnected With People. Suggestions To Avoid Masturbation And Porn?

Hello doctor I'm 22 years old and I started masterbating since I was 14, I have been trying really hard not to have sex with a women until I get married, because of personal reasons. The problem is that I have been masturbating for so long that its really hard for me to stop. And since I have been sexually active (self pleasure) for so long I've become really addicted to pornography. I watch it almost everyday. Sexual thoughts and stimulation has become an enormous part of my life, and I personally feel like its taking over my life. Its made me very depressed and very disconnected with my family and friends. I've forgotten how to have a decent conversation with people and especially with women. What can I do to completly cut myself from porn and masturbation?

Hello
Welcome to HCM

Masturbation is manual stimulation of genitals in order to achieve orgasm and gratification. It is a safe and healthy practice. It has no serious effect on potency and health. But if any individual indulge in excessive pornographic materials and excess masturbation then he may fail to perform his normal duties and work that is expected from him. So please try to decrease the frequency and also avoid watching pornographic contents. I hope you will follow my advise. Try relaxation exercises and yoga in order to relax yourself.

Thanks
