• How can I control addiction of masturbation

  • Sources:

    To control addiction to masturbation, Andrew Huberman and guest Anna Lembke suggest a strategy that involves abstaining completely for 30 days to reset the dopamine reward pathways in the brain. This period allows the brain to regenerate its own dopamine and restore the balance needed to enjoy other activities. The first ten days of this period can be particularly challenging, involving feelings of anxiety, trouble sleeping, and agitation. This is a part of the recovery process, and it's typically expected that one might feel worse before they start to feel better. Family members and close associates should be aware that these reactions are part of the normal recovery process 1.
