How can i tell if i have become addicted to masturbation?

You'll know: Essentially all men and many women need to enjoy their bodies in this way or they'll become so uncomfortable physically and emotionally that they can't do basic things such as getting to sleep. That's not addiction, though some folks will try to manipulate and frighten you. You're in trouble when, and only when, you're preoccupied with erotica and missing out on the rest of life. Otherwise UR OK.
