I use to masturbate 3-4 times a day. I try to reduce it but again after 2-3 days I start doing it many times. I am in this habit since I was 15 now I am 21. Please clear my doubt that what are its side effect? because I lost my appetite, I feel low for the whole day and I won't be able to lift weight in the gym. Please tell me the solution about this asap. I searched many things on internet but the one article put me in this query like I have read that it is a hobby when the person get mentally ill. He masturbate when he know that he wont be able to get that then he make his own dreamy world to achieve that thing. So please I request you to tell me more about this. Thank you.

Masturbation is nature's way of providing safe outlet to sexual desires & is not at all harmful. Its a deliberate misconception/rumor spread by quacks that masturbation is bad. Your other symptoms are suggestive of anxiety/depression. I can help you with these problems as well. Good luck.

It is not harmful unless your whole mind is preoccupied with it. Do constructive activities. Pay your attention towards study and work. Do pray daily.
