Answer 1

Chop that bad boy off.

Answer 2

You need to first realize that, from a physiological perspective, masturbation is a normal release of sexually stimulated energy. The theological (religious) aspect is different from this because we are told not to lust, even in the mind (Ten Commandments).

Aside from all of that, if you are doing anything "too much", to the point where that action interferes with your life, it is most likely a habit. We are creatures of habit. To eliminate one habit, you can substitute it with another more socially acceptable or healthier habit. So, in this case, everytime you feel the "urge", do something else instead. Try doing 20 situps or pushups. If the urge has not subsided, do 20 more. Keep doing this until the urge has subsided. This same technique worked for me with eating whenever I was bored. Not only was I able to cut out extra eating, but I lost weight and got into great shape. Improving your physical condition also improves on a feeling of well-being and your self image and mental health.

Answer 3

Try to understand. He didn't go to the hospital because he masturbated too much. He masturbated too much because he has a mental disorder. That's why he's in the hospital.
He's dealing with things that are too much for him to handle alone. I worked in the mental hospital, and saw people with the same problem I have, just didn't get treatment. I'm grateful for places like that. They help people (I was almost like them) who have problems that are too much for them to handle alone.

Answer 4

perhaps he was hospitalize noy due to masturbatiom, but from an obsessive urge/need to perform the act. the obsessive compulsive disorder could be the reason for needing to be hospitalized. mental disorders are not the patient's fault. they stem from an inbalance of brain chemicals. msot times this illness can be controlled through the use of psychiatric drugs. you should visit a psychiatrist to express your concerns. masturbation is healthy unless it's performed excessively or interfers with normal living. a well-trained psychiatrist won't be shocked or be judgmental about your masturbation habits. s/he will offer their medical expertise, that might just calm your worries. good luck!

Answer 5

Uhm... I think that is either an exaggeration or your parents went nuts onhim and threw him in there or something.

Masterbation is a normal healthy way of making your self feel good, learn about your body, and explore your sexuality. I guess there can be a point where it is too much but... i dont think that qualifies a person as crazy enough for a mental hospitol... unless he was hurting himself or others...

Answer 6

You've been lied to!
I think you should confront your parents about the REAL reason why your brother is in a mental hospital.

Answer 7

This I highly doubt . Going blind maybe but not going to a hospital just for a natural male function in life .

Answer 8

maybe, make an strategy to avoid stying alone (cause in that moment is when it happen), tell to a confident friend (a mature friend) that U have a problem.
The loneliness is the effective way that lust uses to chain people.
So look for activities that keep U busy, Gym, sports, help people, etc

Answer 9

No he isn't...maybe someone TOLD you this to keep you from masturbating but unless he did it in public so often he was arrested and then sent to an institution that is NOT the way it works...good story but wrongo..

Answer 10

don't masturbate as much as he did or you can share a room in the mental hospital.

I didn't know that they would put you in a mental hospital for that anyway?

Answer 11

Just learn to do it at home and not out on the streets, stores,and other public places.
