Hi. Welcome to HCM. I understand your worry. First and very important thing to know is that masturbation is normal and healthy way for people to explore their own bodies and to find out what feels good, where and how they like to be touched and how to have an orgasm. Even though it is normal, some people feel ashamed or embarrassed about masturbation. This is partly because it has been wrongly labelled as deviant, harmful or sinful over the years, and many of these out-dated myths still exist. The frequency of masturbation varies in different individuals, for some people it may happen 2-3 times a day and for some 4-5 times a week. I will tell u some simple methods to come out of this habit. Remove anything that tempts your urge to masturbate like access to pornographic material. Avoid being lonely and keep your self busy in some usefull activities like sports, swimming, going out with friends etc. Find a new hobby, or cultivate a skill. Learning something that takes a while to master can refocus your brain on the delayed gratification of achieving goals instead of the instant gratification of masturbation. Even after doing all these things if u cant come out of habit and it is bothering u, it is better to consult a doctor. All the best. Regards
