Frequent masturbation may lead to conditions such as prostatitis, erectile dysfunction, menstrual irregularities, and vaginitis. To quit masturbation, one should first divert attention by engaging in enjoyable activities—such as jogging or playing video games. It is also important to avoid sexual stimulation; upon encountering sexually explicit text or videos, one should consciously avert attention. Additionally, recognizing the potential harms of masturbation is essential: each time the urge arises, consciously reflect on these adverse effects and reinforce one’s determination to abstain.
