Nakakautot ba ang pagsasarili?

Hello Ms. Rica,

Gusto ko lang po maging sure. Very recently ko lang po kasi na-try mag-masturbate. Pero around the same time, parang nag-kakaroon po ako ng bad gas. Mabaho po. Hindi ko alam kung connected sila pero parang nagco-coincide sila. Ang hassle po kasi parang wala na akong ibang magawa at ma-accomplish. Nakaka-cause po ba talaga ng gas problems ang masturbation?

Thank you

Hi Gas Oh Lina,

Walang nage-exist currently na study na nagco-connect sa mas­turbation and gas. I would sug­gest to try and experiment kung magsu-subside ba ang gas mo ka­pag tumigil kang mag-masturbate or in the same way, mas magiging malala ba ‘yung gas mo if you try to increase your masturbation fre­quency.

Kung stressed ka in life and you are using masturbation as a relief, baka ‘yung stress mo din ‘yung cause ng gas mo and masturbation can actually help with your stress and ideally pati ‘yung gas mo.

On the other hand naman, baka puwedeng there is guilt associated with your masturbation at nagma-manifest siya physiologically as gas. Madami kasing tao ang nahihiya or nagu-guilty sa pagmamasturbate kahit na kailangan natin itong i-consider has normal or natural.

Try to see your doctor to see what is causing your gas problems. Baka din kasi nagkataon lang na meron kang digestive problems na nasabay sa iyong masturbation.

If there is nothing wrong physi­ologically, i-check mo din kung ano pang mga events or happen­ings ang nangyari sa iyo around this time. You can also seek help with a therapist with how you feel about recently discovering self-pleasure.

You have to see that discov­ering self-pleasure and taking control over it is something you should feel confident and proud about. Continue exploring and finding new ways to experience pleasure. Explore, enjoy but…al­ways be safe!

With love and lust,

Rica
