Question:I am 58 years old, and am married with a loving wife and 6 children. Would you please advise me as to where I could go to seek assistance to cure a habit of masturbation.
Answer:Masturbation itself is not a disease or problem that will cause any damage to you, and virtually all men, and many women, masturbate at some time. As with all things, it may become excessive, and cause you to become preoccupied with the habit. Some people are obsessive about collecting, others become dependent on cigarettes, others are obsessed about doing things in a particular way every time. In your case you are performing excessively the normal activity of masturbation. Assistance is available from psychiatrists and psychologists who can teach you methods to reduce this (or any other) excessive activity. Your first step is to confide in your general practitioner, who will be able to refer you to the most appropriate specialist in your area. Do not be embarrassed, see your GP as soon as possible, and arrange the necessary referral.
