### output:

Hi, Masturbation itself is not a bad habit if done 2 -3 times a week and not more than once a day. It is a safe sexual practice among most people at your age as a way of sexual exploration. If you do more than 2 -3 times in a week and more than once daily then you must control yourself. The side effects of excessive masturbation includes not achieving a strong erection and decreased semen volume. Masturbation also can cause you problems in daily life including work and studies with loss of concentration and significant negative emotions which can predispose you to sexual addictive behavior. At first please keep away from any kind of pornography material that you have and avoid staying alone in your room or at home. Whenever thoughts of masturbation come, you must go out to the exteriors and have walks or meet friends. To stop such thoughts at night, you can start listening to good music and start doing some work or rad books. In the beginning you keep a target of not masturbating for at least 10 days and follow it even if you get strong urges to do it. After this is achieved, start increasing your target and soon try not masturbating for a month. Please do not touch your genitals except when you are urinating or passing motions. Unnecessary stimulation of genitals also causes thoughts of masturbation.
