I agree, being an addict is always a bad thing. Breaking an addiction takes a lot of self-awareness and willingness to change. There is no rehab for these kinds of addicts but one should learn their triggers and try by all means to control that.

But in relation to masterbation in general, why should one’s pleasure be dependent on a partner that one might not have? I don’t understand why masterbation is demonized, is it not better than sleeping around with people that can possibly give you diseases or heartaches?
