I'm 20 years old and I have been into thigh clenching masturbation since I was 14 (even when I didn't know it was masturbation). What are the risks this poses to my health and my future sex life and how can I stop being addicted to this?

Hello- masturbation happens as a result of a deep seated craving, an unfulfilled desire that is not getting addressed. When the release happens, a person feels relaxed with a sense of temporary fulfillment. But the after effects are a feeling of being wasted, low energy levels, backaches, feeling gassy, bloatedness, lack of appetite, dry skin, pimples, running nose, cough and colds, allergic colds, skin lacking lustre, joint pains and tightness, dark circles under the skin, bad posture (one who assumes a stoop), low libido, hair fall, a deeper sexual urge that makes a person feel guilty (as one starts to rely on sex and sexuality all the time), irritable bowels, constipation, emotional lows, feeling like crying, high sense of guilt etc?
