Q: Its kinda of weird problem... 26 yr old virgin male. never got any girls so resorted to masturbation for few years now, however it got 2 much i guess(2-3 times a day). its habit now, want to get rid of it(dont know how), feel restless,tired,no mood 2 work...help required

All habits are hard to get rid of. Masturbating is perfectly fine and healthy, but like anything else in life, too much is too much. It is understandable that since you are a virgin, you are resorting to masturbating in order to ease the tension. Even if you aren't a virgin or even have a sexual partner, it's fine to masturbate- everyone does it, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

In your case, it seems to be something that you're doing all the time--2-3 times a day does seem a bit much, but only because it's diverting you from doing other things. Also, you mentioned that you feel tired and restless, which could be caused by this, or a combination of factors.

I think that the best thing to do is to occupy your mind with other things. Go out with friends, go for a walk, take up another hobby-it could be anything, study, catch up with work, whatever. I especially recommend doing something active or creative, like writing/art, exercising, listening to or playing music, etc. That will not only help keep you busy with other things, it will allow you to re-focus your energy and feel a lot better about yourself.

If you are concerned about being a virgin at this age, just understand that it's nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. Try not to go for just any girl- if you want to meet someone, try going out more with your friends, or going somewhere to meet like-minded people. It will happen when it happens. In the meantime, masturbating (whether or not you are going out with someone) is fine, but if it's getting in the way of your life, then try some of the above pointers. All the best.

thanks
