View allI'm really concerned because I've been masturbating every day and I'm not sure how to stop. Could this be affecting my sex life, and do I need any medication to help with this? What can I do to stop masturbating so much?

To reduce or stop, try engaging in healthier habits like physical exercise, focusing on hobbies, or practicing mindfulness.

I'm really struggling with controlling my urges to masturbate. I find myself doing it up to 56 times in one day, and I think it's become an addiction. It's starting to worry me. What can I do to get a handle on this? Please, any advice would be appreciated.
To control excessive masturbation, try distraction techniques, like engaging in sports, hobbies, or creative activities; practice relaxation methods, such as meditation, deep breathing, or yoga; set realistic goals and track progress; seek support from a therapist, counselor, or support groups; and consider implementing a 30-minute delay tactic when urges arise, allowing you to reassess and redirect your focus,
