am I addicted to masturbation? If I stop, will my life improve?!


Question: Am I addicted to masturbation? If I stop, will my life improve?
I first masturbated when I was 14 and I'm 22 now. I'm a virgin with no girlfriend. In my teen days I would masturbate like twice or even three times a day. When I started lifting heavy in the gym, I would still masturbate a lot, but I wouldn't do it the night before or morning before the lifting session. I don't think abstaining from masturbation necessarily makes me stronger, though. I do feel a rush of more energy, but that could be placebo effect.

I noticed that when I DO masturbate, there are some negative consequences. I feel like I have a dry mouth and thus I need more water. I'm peeing more frequently in less volumes. Sleep gets a little disrupted if I do it at night because I always feel like I have to pee but it's "not quite there." I feel a bit more introverted, but this could be placebo effect again. Eyes feel a bit heavier too. I also notice that I masturbate a lot when I'm stressed. If I abstain from it for like 3-4 days, the next time I masturbate, I'll do it like 3x in a day!

I know there are many benefits to masturbation, but is it a myth that there are no cons about it? Do I seem to be having an addiction? "Everything in moderation, right?" Well, the problem is, I can't do that, just like some people have that problem with alcohol.

What do you think?

thanks

Answers:

I masturbate when I'm really bored.. to me it's something to pass the time.. I don't see how too much of it could be BAD but honestly, it isn't worth the trouble you're feeling. You can stop, I know it. It should be something that governs your life so try finding something that occupies your time. Don't think about it too often either... Believe me sex is by far not the most important thing in life. So try changing this lifestyle, also start playing the field, being more outgoing.
You don't need to masturbate when you have someone to please you. ;D



you are overanalyzing it, have a good time, masturbate when you have the urge and othrwise live your life as you wish. Has nothing to do with other activities, it is a necessity as much as eating and drinking.



Clearly what you're lacking is self-discilpine. It would be of no surprise to me if you're overweight and love to eat junk food too.



I think you are thinking about it way too much, it sounds like you're obsessing over analyzing it. Relax dude.



Find a girl friend or a boy friend. Try something other than masturbating.



I always have to pee after I masterbate. And I always do. If your blocking things out of your life to masterbate,stop.
