Yes, stress can increase the frequency of masturbation. Some people turn to masturbation as a way to find temporary relief from stress, anxiety, boredom, or emotional discomfort. Consequently, if stress persists, the habit can become more frequent.
Try to identify your triggers, such as loneliness, excessive screen time, anxiety, or boredom. Incorporating regular exercise, adequate sleep, outdoor activities, and relaxation techniques into your routine can help manage these urges.
If you feel that masturbation has become compulsive or difficult to control amidst stress, you can seek a confidential consultation at Gautam Ayurveda to discuss your concerns.
