I'm really concerned about the effects of masturbation and I'm curious about how I can stop it. I've been doing it for the past two years and it's starting to feel like an addiction. Can you help me understand more about this?
Masturbation is a natural activity, but if it feels like an addiction and interferes with daily life, it can have emotional and psychological effects, such as guilt, anxiety, or reduced energy. To reduce or stop, its important to focus on healthy coping mechanisms, like exercise, hobbies, and managing stress, while seeking support from a counselor or therapist if needed.

My boyfriend is using non-prescribed Decanabol along with testo once a week for his surgery-induced scoliosis, but he's been really struggling with depression, severe irritability, and personality changes. I'm worried about how these steroids might be affecting his mental health could this be a side effect?
First of all you should ask your boyfriend to consult his doctor for prescription as it's never good to self medicate... Steroids do induce Depression, psychosis, personality changes etc..also testosterone products can induce Psychosis...So the PPT factors for your boyfriend's situation are there...I advise you to consult a psychiatrist also for detailed evaluation and Management of the case... Regards..Hope it helps...
