Yeah, I know—it’s one of those topics. Awkward. Personal. Maybe even a little taboo.
But the truth is, if we never talk about this stuff, we keep pretending it doesn’t exist. And let’s be real—it exists. A lot.
So here’s me being honest:
I masturbate.
A lot.
More than I probably should.
And I’ve started wondering… why?
🧠 It’s Not Just Physical—It’s Emotional, Too
Most people think masturbation is just about satisfying a physical urge. Sometimes, sure. But for me—and a lot of others—it goes deeper.
There are times I realize I’m doing it:
- Out of boredom
- Out of stress
- Because I’m lonely
- Or just because it’s become… routine
It’s like my brain goes on autopilot. Feeling off? Masturbate. Don’t want to deal with your thoughts? Masturbate.
It’s become a coping mechanism.
🔁 When a Habit Starts Feeling Like a Crutch
There’s a fine line between a healthy habit and something that’s quietly taking over your time, energy, and focus.
And for me, the red flags started showing up:
- Decreased focus and motivation
- Less interest in socializing
- Guilt afterwards
- And the biggest one: disconnecting from myself
The more I used it to numb, the less I felt connected to my actual emotions—or my body, ironically.
❓ So… Is Masturbation Bad?
No.
Masturbation, by itself, is natural. Healthy, even.
There’s no shame in it.
But too much of anything can throw you out of balance.
When it becomes the default response to boredom, anxiety, or even celebration—maybe it’s time to pause.
🛑 Why I’m Thinking About Cutting Back
This isn’t about quitting or shaming myself. It’s about regaining control.
I want to:
- Be more present in my real relationships
- Reconnect with my body and emotions
- Use healthier coping strategies
- Stop feeling like I “need” it just to get through the day
Sometimes, less really is more.
💬 Let’s Talk About It—Without Shame
If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing this too much?”—you’re not alone.
This isn’t about judgment. It’s about awareness. About making conscious choices instead of being run by habits we never examine.
So yeah.
I masturbate a lot.
But I’m learning when to stop, when to pause, and when to just feel whatever I’m feeling—without trying to escape it.
And that, honestly, feels like growth.
