Excessive MASTURBATION is a highly addictive and destructive habit that corrodes a man's soul. It turns a man into a slave of useless sexual cravings and addiction, and eventually, he becomes a powerless victim of the consequences of masturbation.

Some people find that they are unable to control their urges to masturbate, even when it begins to negatively impact other areas of their lives. This compulsive behavior is often referred to as an addiction.

When masturbation becomes an addiction, it can be difficult to break the cycle of compulsive behavior. The person may experience withdrawal symptoms, such as depression or anxiety, when they try to stop. They may also find themselves unable to resist the urge to masturbate, even in inappropriate or dangerous situations.

Masturbation addiction can also lead to negative consequences such as damaged relationships, poor performance at work, or lack of interest in other activities. It can also affect a person's self-esteem and self-worth, leaving them feeling guilty, ashamed, or powerless.

However, excessive masturbation or compulsive masturbation can be a sign of an underlying issue, such as a mental health disorder, that needs to be addressed.

There can be a variety of reasons why someone who had stopped masturbation may relapse. Some common reasons include:

  • Stress: Stressful events or situations can trigger the urge to masturbate as a way to cope or release tension.
  • Boredom: When a person is not engaged in other activities, they may turn to masturbation as a way to pass the time.
  • Loneliness: Masturbation can be used as a way to alleviate feelings of loneliness or isolation.
  • Lack of alternative outlets for sexual energy: Without other outlets for sexual energy, such as a romantic partner or sexual activity, masturbation may become the primary outlet for sexual expression.
  • Underlying psychological issues: Some people may have underlying psychological issues, such as low self-esteem or unresolved trauma, that contribute to their masturbation habits. These issues may need to be addressed in order to prevent relapsing.
  • Lack of self-awareness: Sometimes people may relapse without realizing the triggers, the reason why they relapse might be the lack of self-awareness, the lack of understanding the underlying cause of their addiction.

Here are some simple steps on how to handle masturbation:

  • Identify triggers: Take some time to reflect on what situations or emotions lead you to want to masturbate. Common triggers include stress, boredom, and loneliness.
  • Plan an alternative activity: When you feel the urge to masturbate, have a pre-planned alternative activity to do instead. This could be exercise, going for a walk, reading a book, or any other activity that you enjoy.
  • Get Support: Talk to someone you trust about your struggles with masturbation. Having someone to talk to can help you process your feelings and provide support.
  • Seek Professional Help: If you find it hard to stop masturbation or if you feel your masturbation habits are causing problems in your life, seek professional help from a therapist or counselor. They can help you understand the underlying issues and develop healthy coping strategies.
  • Be self-aware: Be aware of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Learn to recognize when you are about to slip up and take steps to prevent it.
  • Practice Mindfulness: Mindfulness practices, such as meditation and yoga, can help you stay present in the moment and reduce the urge to masturbate.
  • Find healthy outlets for sexual energy: Finding healthy outlets for sexual energy, such as a romantic partner or sexual activity, can help reduce the need to masturbate.
  • Be patient with yourself: Remember that stopping a habit takes time, and it's okay to slip up. Be kind to yourself, and don't give up.

It is important to note that with the necessary drive and determination, you can set your heart on any path. Also, remember that relapses do not erase progress, they are a significant part of learning that set you on a path of constant growth.
