Question

Can continuous masturbation for 10 days cause permanent damage to my intelligence, judgment, and thinking ability? How can I restore to my original level?

Answer

Sexual activity during adolescence is a normal behavior and does not affect physical growth or intellect. However, excessive masturbation may lead to some issues such as sexual dysfunction and erectile difficulties. Here are some suggestions to help you quit the habit of excessive masturbation:

  1. Avoid touching intimate areas at times other than using the restroom.
  2. Try to avoid being alone.
  3. If friends around you also have the same problem, it’s best to avoid interacting with them.
  4. When bathing, do not gaze at yourself in the mirror, and keep the bath time to no more than 5 to 6 minutes.
  5. When prone to masturbation in bed, consider sleeping in pajamas so that taking off clothes will take more time, giving you more time to suppress thoughts.
  6. If you find yourself unable to control it while lying in bed at night, go to bed immediately or do something to distract yourself, like snacking or reading.
  7. Avoid exposure to pornographic content and shift your attention to healthy activities.
  8. Maintain positive thinking and participate in social activities and sports.
  9. You can also use prayer or a resolution to help yourself. I hope these suggestions can be of help to you.
