What Are the Effects of Excessive Masturbation on Health? - #60171
I am really worried about some stuff going on with my health lately. For a while now, I have been kinda relying on masturbation as a way to relieve stress, but I just read about the excessive masturbation effects and now I’m freaking out. Like, I know it’s normal, but I have been doing it way too much, like several times a day, and I have been feeling super drained and unfocused. My energy levels are just plummeting, and I can’t tell if it’s because of that or maybe my diet is off, but I can’t shake that thought about excessive masturbation effects messing with my head. Also, I have noticed some discomfort down there, which has me even more anxious. I thought it could be just soreness from being too... um, overactive. I drink water and try to stay healthy, but then I read these stories about how excessive masturbation effects can impact mental health too, making people anxious or depressed. Honestly, I don’t know if I’m just worrying too much, but it feels like everything's linking back to it. Any advice or insight would be super helpful, especially about what to watch for regarding excessive masturbation effects, and how to kinda find balance? Thanks.
