writes:In addition to the obvious reasons for masturbating, I do so as a means of self-medicating myself and alleviating the stress and anxiety I feel in my life. I find that my life has only become only more stressful and demanding in recent years and given my career paths will surely only get more stressful. I use it as a pressure release valve.I would appreciate any thought or insights by other who are or have experienced this. I would like to decrease my dependence on it. I think it’s excessive. I think it’s misplaced. I have not succeeded in resisting the urge in the past and would appreciate any comments from men and women alike. Reply to this Question

Delving too deeply into your psyche will drive you nuts. It's far better to do whatever you do to chill out and enjoy yourself without trying to justify the reasons for doing it.
Enjoy. Don't analyse.

 We don't know your age, but I assume you're a grown man.
I haven't experienced this, but I think you're taking away all the fun of masturbation. It is not intended to alleviate stress or whatever. It is intended only to alleviate some sexual urges, and that makes me wonder why you don't have a woman with you.
By the way, sex with a woman isn't intended to alleviate stress, either.
I think you need to do two things: first, act on what you know, and stop masturbating for stress. And two, try to release that stress in other manners.
Wish you the best.
