I'm 18 years old and I have a habit of masturbation. I started masturbating around 4 years ago and I want to stop it now. But I just fail each time I try. I have stopped watching porn and erotica's but still get a weird strong urge. Any suggestions will be helpful.

Masturbation is regarded as a normal, healthy sexual activity. In general, the medical community considers masturbation to be a natural and harmless expression of sexuality for both men and women. It does not cause any physical injury or harm to the body, and can be performed in moderation throughout a person's lifetime as a part of normal sexual behavior. It will not affect you or your ability to have children in the future. If you wish to reduce the frequency of masturbation: It originates from brain, due to thinking about sex. Hence: � ����Do not watch adult material. � ����Concentrate more on your studies or work. � ����Exercise regularly.
