I have seen many cases of psychological problems caused by masturbation. Indeed, inappropriate masturbation may create a state similar to obsessive-compulsive disorder. Despite this, masturbation is a normal and healthy sexual behavior. Masturbation itself is not a problem, it is incorrect masturbation that is.

Generally speaking, masturbation causes psychological problems for the following reasons:

1. Do not understand that masturbation is a common and normal sexual and psychological development behavior, and let others use excuses for different purposes to receive bad implications. According to the survey, 99% of men masturbate, while the proportion of women is lower, but still accounts for 46%.

2. There was too much pressure to grow up, and I didn’t know how to deal with it. After accidentally masturbating, I experienced the pleasure of relaxing my body, and thus found a channel for my body to release myself. I couldn’t stop it. The comments around them tell the person involved that this is a bad behavior with moral corruption. The client feels ashamed because he is afraid of being known by others, so he will control himself not to do that. However, their physical development and psychological dependence cause them to conflict, and they will form excessive "want" to stop or quit masturbating, which will in turn strengthen their desire. , it becomes a compulsive state of not doing something but wanting to do it, and then regretting and blaming yourself after doing it. This is the mechanism known as reverse reinforcement in psychology.

Once the person falls into the trap of obsessive thinking, obsessive behavior will occur. Unable to control it, I found myself masturbating more frequently. At the same time, it also causes the parties to suffer from anxiety disorder or emotional loss. At this time, anxiety, tension and out-of-control behavior reinforce each other, making the person even more unable to control himself. This puts people into a vicious cycle of being unable to control masturbation and causing anxiety, worry, and fear. Some people will suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder.

3. If you don’t understand the correct method of masturbation, you often take shortcuts to solve the problem quickly, which makes the body rely on this kind of rapid friction stimulation, leading to premature ejaculation. Therefore, being misled into treating premature ejaculation is not very effective, causing negative emotional experiences of anxiety, worry and fear, and making you feel anxious all day long.

So how to solve this kind of sexual psychology confusion?

1. Cognitive level solution: The pleasure brought to humans by body organs is a gift of life and everyone’s right. As long as it is done in privacy and does not affect the physical and mental health of others, it is done when the body has reached the adult stage, and it is done voluntarily without inducement, coercion, threat or deception, it is reasonable and Normal sexual behavior. In addition, sex is also an ability that requires learning and training and is not something you are born with. When studying, you must read formal readings and watch scientific and reasonable videos, and follow the principle of understanding different sexual science knowledge according to different physiological stages.

2. The correct way to masturbate: It is best to use your hands (you can also use safe utensils, but they must be cleaned). Choose a lying down sleeping position, gently hold your genitals with your hands, and rub it up and down, 1.5 times per second. It is advisable to increase the speed slightly according to personal preference when orgasm arouses until ejaculation.

3. Emotional control: Learn self-relaxation breathing techniques, such as inhaling through the nose, exhaling through the mouth, breathing slowly and evenly, or practicing yoga-style meditation. When masturbating, you should devote yourself to it, enjoy the whole process, and fully satisfy your inner body's instinctive desires.

4. Environmental hygiene: It must be in a safe, comfortable place with good privacy protection and no people or noise to disturb you.

5. Mental health: It is inevitable to have random thoughts while masturbating. But it is best to think about sex scenes related to the sexual organs of the opposite sex, and not to think about organs other than the genitals of the opposite sex, such as hair, fingers, feet, etc.

6. Frequency of masturbation: Some people struggle with the frequency of masturbation. Generally speaking, in a week, as long as it does not exceed five times a week, it is appropriate; as long as it does not affect your work, study, and social life the next day. This varies from person to person and there is no unified standard.

7. If you already suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder and feel that you are unable to control masturbation to the point of extreme pain, you must go to a psychological institution or psychiatric department and find a trustworthy psychiatrist to provide you with drug treatment and psychosexual therapy. , is a very necessary and feasible solution.

Most people who have masturbation problems are young people who have just entered adulthood. It is recommended that everyone learn more scientific sex knowledge before puberty, instead of just watching adult sex game videos online. You can consider participating in some training activities on sex education and finding a professional sexual psychology counselor for consultation and understanding. These are both effective and good methods.
