Hello All,

First of all, sorry for the details provided as they are very personal and embarrassing.


I have often used masturbation to cope with hardships and difficulties in my life from a young age. Really didn't know what it was at first.

As I grow up, discovered it and felt guilty based on my religious upbringing. Kept it private from my family but I am certain they knew (know) about it as a few walked in on my a few times when I was young.

My wife has been supportive over the years, but I still have problems.

Recently, discovered the a prostate massager, and it has only made it worse. It now distracts me all the time unless, physically active, even then it is in the back of my mind.

Visited a medical doctor a few days ago to look over some issue with my body (pain, discomfort, etc) caused from it. Ironically, caused by a single use. She did not see any harm to me.

Looking for a followup with another medical doctor soon.



My wonder is, should I seek metal health treatment? If so, which one should I seek - therapist, psychologist, etc.... Hoping they can prescribe something, in addition to one-one or group therapy, to help control or eliminate the impulses urges to do it as it is now more prevalent from using the massager.


Any suggestions are helpful.
