Masturbation sometimes suggested as a therapy. In those conditions it can be done more than once a day. Some individuals masturbate to avoid the anxiety provoked by impending tasks or performance. Masturbation then becomes a way to avoid confronting life problems or issues. Those individuals usually are late for school or college fail to submit assignments on time. They are poor in their work performance and do not meet regular targets. They generally masturbate often in a hurried manner with a goal of ejaculation or orgasm alone. There is no pleasure derived from the arousal process or any new learning from the technique used. Such masturbatory practices are part of a greater psychological disturbance that needs professional help.

     Masturbation does not cause the problem per se. It is the coping mechanism. Masturbation is blamed for the person’s inability to deal with life issues where in reality deep psychological problems and limiting beliefs are responsible for the way they cope with everyday difficulties. In such cases it is better to see a sexologist.
