Is it normal to want to abstain from masturbation?
Recently, I have noticed more than ever how much I have been masturbating.
I tend to do it a lot anyway, but the past couple of weeks it seems to be getting more frequent. I am currently 21 years old, and figure that by this point I should have calmed down a bit from my teenage years, this has not been the case however, as I seem to be doing so more often.
A few things that have made me want to abstain from masturbation are that, first and foremost, it is getting in the way of my University life. I'll skip Uni just because I'm a little bit late because of my 'activity' in the morning. Another reason is that my skin is quite sore from all the friction, and lastly, I'm starting to get to the point where I get aroused, but find nothing visually appealing, and ending up spending an hour or so relieving myself.
I realise that this sounds quite crude, and I facepalm at reading it back because of how embarrassing it sounds, but it is a legit problem. I feel like I need to significantly reduce the number of times per day (as I've already done so six times today alone).
Is it normal to want to abstain from masturbation, even if only for a few weeks?
