Masturbation can be a normal sexual behavior. It may be considered a problem if you lose control over the urge to do it, begin neglecting daily tasks, work, studies, sleep, or relationships, or experience significant distress or guilt after the act. Addiction cannot be determined solely by the frequency of masturbation. What truly matters is whether you can control the behavior and whether it is negatively affecting your daily life.
If you feel the habit has become uncontrollable, certain measures can help - such as identifying the triggers that spark the urge, avoiding pornography or similar content, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy sleep routine, and managing stress. If maintaining control remains difficult, it is advisable to seek professional help.
