Is it possible to be addicted to masturbation?

4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Yes: Any behavior can be addictive. If you are concerned that you are going down this road, it can present significant problems with relationships in the future. Best to discuss with an addiction specialist or a counselor to be sure. Good luck.

Yes, but...: Most men need to take the pressure off just to be able to get to sleep, focus on studies, and stay relaxed. This is not addiction. Being obsessed with erotica to the point of missing out on the rest of life does need to be treated, but as a health rather than a moral problem.

Yes.....But.....: Every man you know masturbates or has masturbated. Even those in relationship. There are no negative health consequences to this common sexual activity. Now, in a doctors office the bigger question would be "why do you think this is an addiction?"
