Most people who engage in masturbation are uninformed of the long-term consequences and how to discontinue the practice. According to Healthline, masturbation is an act in which the genitals or other sensitive parts of the body are stimulated with the hand in order to achieve s€xual arousal or pleasure. It can help you achieve better sleep, relieve you of stress, and help you sleep better.


However, engaging in the act on a regular basis can have a great impact on your health and well-being because of its side effects, which many people are not aware of.

In this article, I want to educate you on masturbation, its side effects, and how one who is addicted to the act can stop indulging in it.

1. Skin irritation is one of the side effects that anyone who engages in the act of masturbation may experience because of the true amount of stroking or rubbing that results in chafing or irritation of the skin.

2. Mild swelling, known as dermatitis, is also another side effect of masturbation because the organ is grouped or handled in a way that is too tight while the act is ongoing. Edema can cause discomfort for those who experience it as a side effect.

3. Indulging in the act of masturbation produces a sense of guilt in the hearts of those who practice it because of the feelings of shame or guilt that follow the act.

How to stop masturbation practice.

1. One way to stop masturbation practice is to avoid watching adult movies or browsing through websites with adult content. This is because when one is exposed to pictures and movies that involve adult content, the websites visited can trigger a desire to indulge in the act of masturbation.

2. Engaging in helpful activities that can help you take your mind off some of the things that triggered the desire to indulge in the act of masturbation can help you overcome boredom, because being bored or idle can give space to thoughts that can induce the feeling and willingness to engage in the act.

3. You should make sure you are around people that can keep you busy so that you don't get bored and also seek medical help for advice or counseling on what to do or how best to avoid indulging in the act.

4. You should also engage in bodily exercise like swimming, running, or other activities that can help the body release endorphins, which can help promote the feeling of well-being and also lower or reduce the desire to masturbate often.
