Suggest Remedy For Addiction To Masturbation

Hello sir/madam.
Am a 20 year old guy from India. I often masturbate these days. And i think i am addicted to it. Everyday in some way or the other i hear of the sex (tv,media etc) and this forces me to masturbate by watching some online porn sites. Isn't this bad? And i have a very lean body. Is that attributed to masturbation? .. I am into sex right from my childhood, due to media (tv) and friends. Please tell me how to stop this compulsive disorder and stay healthy,peaceful,happy,calm life free from stress.
Thank you

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Masturbation is a normal habit unless it is excessive and distress provoking
Lean body is not attributed to masturbation
Indulging in masturbatory behaviour can occur at your age.It is abnormal if you engage in such behaviour compulsively even after marriage
I strongly advise you to stop thinking too much about sideeffects of masturbation and spend quality time with family members and academics.I would also recommend you to indulge in some healthy relaxing hobby.
If masturbation causes injury to your genital organs/distress provoking/cannot be controlled,i will ask you to consult a psychiatrist
thank you
