A member asked:
I started masterbating 2 weeks before my social anxiety started is masterbation related to this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily : Misconceptions, embarrassment and guilt about masturbation can cause anxiety. Master action is a normal developmental phenomenon starting in adolescence. There is no need to be anxious about it. Social anxiety disorder usually occurs independently and becomes a concern in adolescence to some people. It us completely treatable.
