Addiction Medicine Specialist Questions Masturbation

I think masturbation is ruining my relationship. What do I do?

Lately I haven't felt sexually attracted to my girlfriend, but I am still interested in frequently masturbating. I don't know where this is coming from or why I don't feel attracted to her like I used to. I've spoken with her about this and she understandably is very upset. I want to be attracted to her again and not rely on masturbating so much. What can I do?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would suggest going for couple's therapy, especially with a licensed professional who specializes in sex therapy.

Take care,

Consider a sex therapist
Try to find what made you attracted to her before and maybe try role playing. Nothing wrong with that. Also having sex in different places
