Question 3

I'm experiencing some issues and could really use some advice. Every time I masturbate, I end up with gastric and digestive problems. It's puzzling and a bit concerning. On top of that, my skin has gotten rough, and I've noticed a few small pimples popping up. I've been having this habit for a long time, around 67 years, and now do it about once a week. I'm really trying to break this cycle, but I keep failing. Can you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do?
