Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Quitting masturbationI have had a habit of masturbation for 2 to 3 years. Which is better to take—Liu Wei Di Huang Wan or Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan? (My constitution is relatively weak, I sweat a lot, and I often get hot easily. Whenever I get hot, I have yellow nasal mucus.)
I hope the doctor can answer, thank you for your cooperation.
Follow-up question: After sexual intercourse, I have some soreness from the base of the penis to the front of the buttocks. Which is better to take—Liu Wei Di Huang Wan or Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan?
Doctor's answer:
I. Firmly stay away from pornographic materials.Do not read articles about masturbation. Do not think about masturbation. Remember: "Once you think about it, you will do it." You must change your way of thinking and make that thought leave your mind. Once you achieve this, you will break the habit.
II. Avoid being alone as much as possible. Find a few good companions and stay among them. However, if you have a close friend who also suffers from the same problem, you must cut off contact with them. Do not associate with anyone who has the same problem. Do not think that two people can quit together—that will never work. You must distance yourself from this group. Because seeing them will unconsciously make you think about your problem. This problem must be strictly cleared from your mind. Your thoughts must be focused on other or healthier matters.
III. When taking a shower, avoid admiring yourself in the mirror. Showering should not exceed 5 or 6 minutes. This time is enough for you to shower, dry off, get dressed, and leave the bathroom to return to your family.
IV. Sleep wearing clothes. If the bed is where you are most prone to the problem, make sure you dress appropriately at night so that you cannot easily touch your sensitive areas. This way, taking off your clothes will be difficult and time-consuming. By the time you start removing the protective clothing, you will have enough time to control your thoughts and resist temptation.
V. Shift your focus. If the temptation seems uncontrollable while lying in bed, get up immediately. You can go to the kitchen to make yourself a sweet treat—even if it’s midnight, even if you’re not hungry, even if you’re worried about gaining weight. The purpose of this is to distract yourself. In other words, you can control your consciousness.
