For many young adults, it is absolutely normal to masturbate one to two times every day. Although, the number of times one masturbates in a week can vary from every person to person, it is okay to masturbate three to seven times a week. But for those in their 30s and 40s, the masturbation sessions can drop to two to three in a week. However, for many, masturbation can become a compulsion; they start showcasing an obsessive behaviour towards it. They start preferring masturbating over socializing, cannot stop thinking about masturbating next and it starts affecting their everyday habits and chores.

1.identify your triggers to arousal and avoid them 2. Limit your exposure to pornographic material. 3. Stash sex-objects. 4. Limit your internet use 5. Distracting yourself--do something else. Try to be as busy as possible during the day and night. Keep your mind focused on activities that do not stimulate your sexual fantasies. 6. Exercise. Exercise may help reduce sexual desires. If you masturbate to reduce stress at times, exercise is a healthy alternative because it releases endorphins in your brain which make you feel happier and less stressed 7. Keep your bladder as empty as possible. The urge to urinate can be mistaken by the body as the urge for sex/masturbation. Go to the bathroom before you go to sleep at night and immediately when you wake up in the morning. Even if you feel the slightest urge to urinate, relieve yourself as soon as possible. 8. Go to sleep when you are really tired. This way, you will fall asleep quickly after lying down in bed and not spend time in bed trying to fall asleep 9. Get out of bed immediately in the morning. When you wake up in the morning at the set time, get out of bed as soon as possible and avoid lying in bed awake. Such is a time when masturbation is likely to occur.
