Patient's question:
I am a boy in my twenties and have developed the habit of masturbation. It's not consistent. I don't watch pornographic movies or magazines (I might glance at them occasionally). I think masturbation might be harmful to my body, but because of the pleasure it brings, I can't give it up. How can I break this habit?Doctor's answer:
Method1、Diversification Method: Fully arrange and utilize your spare time to ensure you have no time for masturbation.
2、Learning Method: Properly understand the human body and recognize the harms of the masturbation habit, eliminating the mystery surrounding sex.
3、Elimination Method: Concentrate your attention, eliminate distractions, and persist in avoiding contact with unhealthy publications and TV programs.
4、Sleep Method: It is best to wait until you are deeply drowsy before immediately going to bed to sleep. The time before waking up in the morning is also the most likely time for masturbation. If you have the urge to urinate, do not hold it in and relieve yourself promptly to prevent an erection.
Steps
1、Before going to bed, engage in intense exercise for twenty minutes to half an hour, aiming to reach a state of fatigue. Wash your face and feet with cold water, then immediately go to bed.
2、After going to bed, eliminate all thoughts and close your eyes to sleep.
3、If you cannot fall asleep, strictly control yourself and avoid thinking about anything related to sex.
4、If the above methods are still ineffective, you can insert earphones and listen to a program that you are not interested in. When the thought of masturbation flashes through your mind, consciously overcome it.
5、For those with a strong urge to masturbate, you should try to reduce the time spent alone and frequently stay with others, thereby finding ways to eliminate your masturbation habit.
