Male becoming hooked on masturbation

I used to masturbate 2-3 times a week on average. Now, I’m up to 3-4 times a day! Idk how I reached that level but I just found myself there and it’s such a release when I do it. So I’m kinda hooked on that feeling and when I don’t do it, I feel so bothered and this agitation doesn’t go away until I release. Is that ok? Will it develop into something more serious?

Search up 'Nofap' and go from there.

But then how do I release? It’s probably the quarantine and it’s making me do this
Careful man or you'll get addicted and possibly start experiencing symptoms such as brain fog, ED or even developing warped sexual tastes.

Like someone else said, I recommend going NoFap

I completely agree that this can take me to a dangerous zone but I’m kind of worried that if I go NoFap then i’ll start losing my sexual desires bit by bit.

Fun fact that I forgot to mention is that I was asexual for a while and now that my sexuality is back, I’m holding on to it and this is possibly contributing to my addiction...?

But it could be dangerous

Many things make you happy but are not good for you

I’m just surveying the field and then i’ll take what I want from it
I have a friend whose boyfriend was addicted to masturbation & porn for years. Now he has trouble with erectile dysfunction. You may be bored & feel like doing it but think about it in the long run. Try to stick to 3-4 times a week instead of multiple times a day.

You are at high risk of chafing my dude..

If you don't cut down soon, the chafing will force you to.......

Hey. I would recommend nofap too. It definitely doesn't reduce your sexual desire but it does help you cope with it and channel that energy into other activities.
If you consider it an addiction then total abstinence may be the best step, as others have suggested.
Thats normal lol. I do 3-4 sometimes

Its okay to masturbate as long as its not to porn otherwise that will affect how you view women. Also it is important give your body a damn break and dont fap for sometime, else it can lead to erectile dysfunction. I recently did 21 days no fap and by the 8th day my confidence started increasing I felt a lot more positive and energetic. You need a girlfriend or something to naturally rid of excess semen your body generates.

Unfortunately yes, and when I did I felt like there was no reason for me to relapse it was due to habit I guess the urges became too strong....all the more reason to keep going bro! you'll eventually get to the stage where you wont look back at all, as hard as that can be due to corona forcing us to always stay in doors :/
