How To Stop Masturbation?
I'm a married male and I like to masturbate, sometimes 1-3 times a day. I don't know if this is common or not. Plus my wife and I have been trying to get pregnant for a while now with no results. I do have days when I don't masturbate at all and my wife and I have great intercourse. I was wondering if masturbation could possibly be preventing the pregnancy or is it okay for me to masturbate and accomplish our goal?

Hello,
Masturbation thrice a week or four times a week is normal and natural. Thrice a day is definitely an addiction. Masturbation addiction is a behavioral addiction and therefore behavior therapy is required. Therefore, I suggest consulting a psychologist for physical examination, diagnosis and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
