Q: My problem is that I'm quite absent minded and forget things very quickly. I wasn't the same 4-5 years ago. I also sweat a lot on my palms and soles. Are all these problems related to masturbation. I masturbate regularly, ranging from once a day to once a week. Is masturbation harmful for my future married life as well? Is there a way to avoid doing it often. I cannot seem to control the desire to do it.

A:The symptoms that you have mentioned have nothing to do with masturbation. Masturbation is not a disease or a bad habit, but a normal way of releasing pent up sexual energy. It will not harm your maried life in any way; nor is it harmful for the body. There is no way to avoid doing it often, except will power if you really want to stop doing it. Regarding sweating on hands and feet, although it has nothing to do with masturbation, it may be indicative of a condition called 'Hyperhidrosis'. For more information about the same, please refer to the "Questions and Answers" section of the website. Your problem is more psychological than medical, and thus not worrying so much would certainly help you.
