Does masturbation cause loss of memory and concentration?
Patient: Does masturbating make you feel this: - looking at something but can't absorb the information from the object, feel like I'm in my own word, trapped in my mind.- lose memory of things I get told at school and I have trouble remembering how to work out equations and remembering meanings if words.I'm 14 and I have being madturbating a lot for 4 years now i think and on average i masturbate 3 times a day, I grind  my teeth, my parents say its because if schoole but, I think it's masturbating to much each day. Now it's 2014 now so I set a goal to masturbate for ever but... I have masturbated again 2 to 3 times a day. What I'm mostly concerned about is how I feel like I'm in trapped in my mind and not able to consentrating and absorbing information that feels like my brain is way to slow to process information. And I do think I have anxiety which makes me clench and grind my teeth day and night, I don't wanna tell my parents what is also making feel this way ( masturbating of course). I would really appreciate your help, I have tried for years to stop masturbating but just to addicted to it. :C Doctor: Hi, You should decrease it to once or twice a week. You will consciously have to avoid it and get busy in some outdoor sports activities with friends of your age. This will help you get your mind off the masturbation and you will regain your confidence and memory and concentration also. Results will be very soon I can assure you,If you are unable to then you might require help of a Psychologist or Psychiatrist. But I feel if you try you have the inner strength to give it up.
