Compared to other methods, using masturbation to relieve sexual repression is acceptable, especially when done in moderation, as it poses no harm to the body and can alleviate sexual tension. However, frequent masturbation can lead to severe consequences for the body. Below are the potential harms caused by excessive masturbation:
What are the harms of excessive masturbation?
1、Damage to the prostate
Frequent masturbation can cause abnormalities in the prostate, with the most common issues being split urine stream, difficulty in urination, frequent urination, painful urination, impotence, premature ejaculation, and decreased libido. It also places a significant psychological burden on men. Additionally, excessive masturbation can lead to abnormalities in the central nervous system, resulting in memory loss, neurasthenia, headaches, dizziness, and sleep disturbances.
3、Decline in sperm quality
Frequent masturbation can significantly reduce sperm quality, decrease sperm vitality and sexual desire, affect erectile function, and lead to sexual dysfunctions such as impotence and premature ejaculation. It also reduces fertility. Furthermore, it can induce negative emotions in men, such as excessive self-consciousness, irritability, and tension.
How to quit excessive masturbation?
1、Avoid being alone
Do not stay alone in your room; consider living with a roommate. Engaging in hobbies like cooking, watching movies, or reading books can help reduce sexual impulses. Avoid reading articles on masturbation or pornographic materials. Change your thought patterns by focusing on positive and optimistic things. Reading a calming, morally enriching book can help improve moral cultivation.
3、Have a structured routine
Engage in daily exercise, which helps alleviate mental stress and depression. When sexual urges arise, double up on your workout. Avoid looking at yourself in the mirror after a shower, limit shower time to 5 minutes, dry off immediately, and put on clothes before heading to the living room to watch TV. Wear appropriate sleepwear at night to prevent bedding from pressing on sensitive areas. Avoid wearing tight clothing and pants, maintain a regular sleep schedule, and avoid eating too much before bed. Do not use heavy or thick blankets, avoid sleeping on your back or stomach, and refrain from consuming spicy, stimulating foods, smoking, or drinking alcohol before sleep.
4、Learn to divert your attention
Sexual impulses often occur when lying alone in bed. If you cannot control the urge, get up immediately and engage in an activity like cooking a rich meal to divert your attention, or listen to light music. It is crucial to break off contact with people who have the same habit and strictly eliminate thoughts of masturbation from your mind, focusing instead on healthy pursuits.
Reminder
Male masturbation is not shameful, but it is important to maintain moderation, as it can be hard to break free once addicted. Develop good personal hygiene habits, regularly clean the genital area, remove smegma from under the foreskin to reduce irritation, and maintain overall health.
