I masturbate at work everyday... something wrong with me?
Answered by Dr. Lani Chin, PsyD
Question
I'm unsure from your message if this behavior has become distressing for you. Whether or not this can be considered an "addiction" or "disorder" depends upon the level of impairment this has caused. Are your work assignments late or incomplete? Are you late to meetings? Is masturbating all you think about at work? If the answer to any of these questions is "yes," then you might be describing a sexual addiction or compulsion. I would recommend you speak to a therapist about what's going on for you. Based on the limited information you have provided, it's difficult to recommend anything more. If you are in the Los Angeles area, I would be happy to help you explore this further: www.drlanichin.com. Otherwise, I would recommend you speak with someone who is closer to where you're located. Good luck to you.
