Masturbation is a great form of sex because it’s quick, easy, and totally self-involved. Whether you are a single cat out in the world or a person involved in a serious relationship, you can still reap the benefits of some “alone time”. However, sometimes the need to whack it can turn into an addiction, in which case you’re going to want to slow things down. Below are some common indicators of masturbation addiction
You masturbate every day, multiple times a day
Jerking off every day is not horrible, but it may be bad if you do it two, three times a day or more. This is because the jerking off will start interfering with your life. You wake up and jerk, eat lunch and jerk, go to bed and jerk…it consumes all of you. You can’t spend your life scheduling around your masturbation. It’s not healthy and it’s illogical. It’s also a surefire way to start developing issues if you get in a relationship.
You can’t go without thinking about masturbation
This is when you know it is an addiction. When your mind has been overwhelmed with masturbatory thoughts, you know you need to stop. This is just as bad as being addicted to drugs or alcohol because it starts to take over your life. When you can’t function without contemplating whether or not you should whack off, you need to try to fix your issues. That is simply too much.
You get withdrawals when you don’t masturbate
If you try to go a day without masturbating and you get sick or angry, you know you have a problem. Masturbation can become so habitual after awhile that it literally becomes another component of your life. The problem with that is that you no longer get the same joy out of masturbating as you should. It’s just another part of the day, like brushing your teeth or taking a shower. Orgasms turn into things that you just mark on the calendar. Where is the fun in that?
How to fix all of this…
If you know you masturbate too much, you need to slowly wean yourself away from it. Just try to masturbate half as often as you normally do. Instead of every day, make it every other day. Instead of four times a day, make it two. Whenever you aren’t masturbating, keep your mind on something else. Get a new hobby or, dare I say it, have some actual sex! If you get a girl to be with, you won’t desire your own hand as much. You can try going cold turkey, but then you’ll likely fall harder into the hole than ever before (no pun intended).
Final thoughts on too much masturbation
You just have to learn how to do this in moderation. Balance pleasure with normal life so that one does not take over the other. Be in control of your own life and all aspects of it. Your decisions are in your hands…literally.
