Please briefly explain why you feel this answer should be reported.
For cultural, religious, or even personal reasons, some people choose not to masturbate, whether it is at a specific age or stage in their lives or for other reasons. This is their personal decision, which should be honored! So, having a regular sexual life does not necessarily entail masturbating. One can still have a fulfilling and healthy sexual life even if they do not masturbate “by choice.” That being said, not much has to be understood. If your lack of interest in masturbating is the result of false beliefs and misconceptions, unrealized fears, the aftermath of past trauma, or an unusual sense of guilt and shame, these can all have a negative impact on your future sex life, emotional health, attitudes toward different genders, relationships, and even life in general. From a physiological perspective, there are also established hormonal causes that may contribute to a person’s lack of sexual desire. Overall, it would be beneficial if you could speak with a licensed and experienced sex therapist one-on-one.
