In Dire Jeopardy, please help!
I am a 22 year old boy who has an entrance exam coming up soon. I have been masturbating since the age of 12, for 3-5 times a day since the age of 14. It is only post this period that I began realizing that I am extremely lazy and procrastinate often.
Is this the reason for my lack of concentration and inability to recall what I have studied?
I have tried abstaining but couldn't get past 3 days as I was not able to do any work due to having a feeling of constant erection.
Thank You Doctor!

Thank you for asking. I can understand the distress you are through. The frequency you have mentioned is not so healthy indeed. It is very suggestive of Compulsive masturbation problem. Irritability, not able to concentrate, low mood, tiredness, etc can all ve the symptoms of masturbation problem. I suggest you must consult with a sexologist in person for a complete management. Like any other addiction problem even masturbation can ve addictive and therefore must be managed accordingly.
Next Steps
Kindly consult with a sexologist for further management.
