###Human: I feel embarrassed and painful with masturbation. How can I stop it? ###Assistant: Hello. First, please stop worrying or feeling guilty. Masturbation is a completely normal physiological phenomenon (like eating and sleeping). Almost everyone does it, even married people continue to do it. There has been some misconception about the practice. As long as it is not excessive and affecting your other normal activities, there is nothing to worry about. Concentrate on your studies and/or work. Be physically active. Get married in a few years time and live happily.
