How To Overcome Masturbation Addiction?

Hi, I am 24 year old asian male, never had a girlfriend. I used to masturbate almost everyday since I was a teen, and each time, i came. Everytime I came, I felt sinful. Each time I tried to stop, after not touching myself for a few days, I have the strong urge to masturbate again - the feeling to release the load. It kinda became a habit and it is really hard not to have the feel of not to do it.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi there, welcome to helathcare magic.
before answering your question let me assure you one thing, masturbating and ejaculating is not a sin and you should stop feeling ashamed of it.
Now, the frequent urge to masturbation particularly in males is not only natural but also required as your testicles can only hold up to a certain amount of sperms and they need to be evacuated to maintain a steady and healthy new sperm production. So even if you do not masturbate it will eventually be pushed out of your body by other means like wet dreams.
Now if you would like to reduce the frequency and urge to masturbate, I would recommend getting a hobby like painting or singing which could help you distract your mind from the urge.
But remember do not associate a feeling of guilt with masturbation. That is the only thing that can harm you from your masturbation
Hope this helps. Thank you.
