A member asked:
How do you get over the anxiety and withdrawal that comes with trying to quit masturbation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not clear: Meditation and calm, deep breathing can help with anxiety however there is no evidence that masturbation is harmful from a health perspective and thus a person trying to "quit" may be needlessly stressing themselves.
