Masturbation addiction refers to excessive or compulsive masturbation. While it's not a diagnosable mental health condition, it can have a significant impact on daily functioning for those whose sexual behavior is out of control.
Masturbation itself is not a harmful activity and may be enjoyed by those in a relationship or those using it to compensate for a lack of sex with a partner.
However, for some people, the tendency to masturbate can grow to be excessive or compulsive, to the point that the behavior feels to have gotten out of control. In this case, the behavior is sometimes referred to as masturbation addiction.
Masturbation falls under the larger umbrella category of sexual addiction. This category includes types of addictive or compulsive behaviors such as sex addiction, masturbation addiction, or porn addiction.
Sexual addiction is also sometimes referred to as compulsive sexual behavior.
While engaging in masturbation regularly does not necessarily mean that you have a problem, any of the following could signify that it's time to reach out for help:
Since masturbation is not a diagnosable mental disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, there are no set criteria to determine whether it is a problem for you.
However, a doctor or therapist could ask questions to identify whether it is a problem for which you might need to receive treatment.
What are the causes of masturbation addiction? Below are some potential causes of feeling the need to excessively or compulsively masturbate:
A person who engages in masturbation too frequently or compulsively may feel:
If you find yourself with a masturbation problem that you can't seem to solve on your own, it may be necessary to seek professional help from your doctor, a counselor, or a sex therapist.
Talk therapy may help you to determine the underlying cause of your masturbation addiction, which will allow you to develop strategies to reduce the behavior.
For example, if you are dealing with past trauma, your therapist could help you process the trauma and help you find better coping skills for managing emotional pain.
In addition, if you are using masturbation as a way to cope with life stress, a therapist could help you with that as well.
It's important to recognize that you may need weeks or months to work through underlying problems, even though on the surface the behavior may seem simple and straightforward.
While there is no medication for masturbation addiction, if you are diagnosed with another mental disorder such as major depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), medication could help to reduce your compulsive behaviors.
If you are unable to seek out therapy at this time, below are some suggestions to help get your behavior under control:
Taking time to participate in other activities can help shift your focus from masturbation to other fulfilling behaviors. Some activities to try include:
Finding others who are dealing with the same issue as you can be very comforting and validating. For example, you can join Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous or an online forum to meet other people can relate to your struggles.
Do you perceive masturbation to be shameful or immoral and feel that you must keep it a secret? It may help to examine any religious, cultural, or spiritual influences on your perception of the behavior.
Try to make the effort to go on dates or plan outings with your significant other or family members and friends. This can help to ease the urges you have to be alone to engage in masturbation. This will also help to strengthen your connections with loved ones and build a sense of belonging.
Do you notice that being bored or being alone leads you to engage in masturbation? Do you attempt to relieve stress with masturbation? If so, you can try to find other activities that alleviate boredom, loneliness, or stress. This way, when you feel these emotions, you'll have other coping skills to rely on instead.
Additionally, it may help to limit or eliminate sexual triggers such as pornography and any sexual devices you may have in your home.
If you are struggling with masturbation addiction, know that you are not alone. There are others who are dealing with this kind of addiction too and will be able to understand and validate your experiences.
If you are unable to alleviate your urges to masturbate and you are finding it increasingly difficult to concentrate on work and your personal relationships, a trained mental health professional will be able to work with you to help identify your triggers and provide you with healthy coping skills.
