Addicted To Masturbation? Know How Ayurveda Can Help You Treat The Problem.

by Editorial Staff Health & Wellness

Masturbation is the self-stimulation of one’s genitals to achieve sexual arousal and pleasure. Many individuals engage in masturbation by touching, massaging or stroking their own genitals until orgasm is achieved.

While this is a very common behavior and according to reports, around 90% people have engaged in masturbation at some point in their lives, most people shy away from discussing this personal behavior with anyone else. It is often the first sexual act experienced by most females and males. Young children explore their own body parts and this is a common part of growing up. While most discontinue it after they get married, some still continue masturbating throughout their lives.

Is Masturbation Normal?

Earlier, this practice was regarded as a sign of mental problem and perversion, but now it is considered normal and even healthy. It often helps one get relieved of stress and is a fulfilling personal activity and also quite safe.

Masturbation is considered as a problem only when it inhibits sexual activity with your partner, is done in public or is done too excessively. Some people often lose concentration in their routine work and get addicted to masturbation. It also causes significant distress to some people. It is a good way to release stress especially for people who do not have partners or do not get satisfied sexually by their partners. 

Is Masturbation Harmful?

Masturbating excessively or even more than once a day can be called as an addiction. Such an addicted person feels more satisfied with self-service than with his or her spouse. This addiction can also disturb the bond between the partners.

What happens when you get addicted to Masturbation?

When a person engages in sexual activities, dopamine – a chemical in the brain, is released. This chemical enables you to feel pleasurable emotions. Endorphins are also chemicals released in the brain during stress and physical activity that allow a person to recover later. When a person gets addicted to masturbation, these chemicals are released frequently and a person gets addicted to them. These chemicals help you cope up with stress. Masturbation addiction can become an unhealthy coping mechanism for an individual and one should, instead, address the problems directly.

Any behavior in excess is harmful. Just as too much exercise can kill you, too much masturbation can distress your brains. Later, it will get more and more difficult for your brain to release these chemicals without increasing stimulation. To get more stimuli, individuals later get addicted to porn as pornography allows people to seek graphic stimuli. 

The only problem in masturbation addiction is your perpetual chase for the next brain kick and for that you will be expanding the possibilities. More masturbation and more porn will only be able to get you that rush of dopamine and endorphin later.

A person who is addicted will seek chances for masturbation at whatever cost. As a result, they will not be able to concentrate in work and will appear weird, sluggish or slow in society.

Such people also do not get the same kind of pleasure through normal intercourse later, which can adversely affect marital life. This will also affect the reproductive capability of a person.

When it comes to physical harm, excessive masturbation can lead to weak erection and premature ejaculation. It can also cause semen leakage and eventually impotence. An addicted person might feel stressed, fatigued and memory loss. Blurry vision, hair loss and liver dysfunctions are other side effects. 

Are you addicted?

When a person is addicted to anything, it means that he would go to any lengths to achieve it. This addiction could interfere with your routine work and you are not able to stop the addiction despite putting in strong efforts. Common symptoms of being addicted to masturbation include:

  • Seeking out graphic or violent pornography
  • Facing problems in your relationship because of masturbation
  • Masturbating in inappropriate places such as offices, hotels, cars or in public due to extreme urge.
  • Difficulty with time managementx
  • Trouble spending time with your relatives, friends and children or in other hobbies.
