<s>[INST] I am a single man in 21 years old 170 long and 80 kg, I masturbate 3-4 times in a week , but I stopped masturbating suddenly for two week and then  I masturbated once but the problem was my mood "effected on my mood very much " , I want your advice can I stop masturbating without effecting on my mood ? Thank you [/INST] Hi. It's good that you are trying to curb the habit. It's not bad if you want to do it once or twice a week. As you have restricted the habit with control of your mind similar is control of your moods. Also controlled by your mind or brain. So don't worry and if you keep at this rate and practice self-control as you are doing it will become a habit. Mood swings will disappear as you will be doing but not so much as well. Also try and indulge yourself in active outdoor activities or sports which will be very healthy for your system as well as your mood. Take care and feel free to write again. Chat Doctor.  </s>
