What should I do about nocturnal emissions?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on. I have a very special development. It's not nocturnal emission during sleep, nor is it natural leakage. Instead, every time I bend over the bed, press my penis, and think about things that cause sexual arousal, I reach climax and ejaculate. Moreover, my libido is extremely strong—I experience this multiple times a day. I want to ask what's happening and if it has a significant impact on my health. I have very poor memory and a severe decline in intelligence. Is this related? Also, how can I treat my high libido? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

According to your age, this should be considered a normal phenomenon. Pay attention to your sleeping posture. Bedding should be light and airy, not too warm. Before going to bed, wash the genital area and lower back with cold water. When going to bed, eliminate desires and silently chant a mantra. Alternatively, visualize the Pure Land until you fall asleep. Go to bed late and wake up early. Engage in light exercise. Practice seated meditation and the unclean view (refer to the Nine Views of Uncleanness in the "Essentials of Buddhist Practice for Householders"). Abstain from books, do not watch erotic films, and avoid obscene language. Have a light dinner, and avoid substances such as tobacco, alcohol, chili peppers, coffee, and strong tea. After marriage, masturbation will naturally cease.
