Abstract

Masturbation is a self- stimulation of the genital organs, done to achieve sexual pleasure. It is done using sex toys, vibrators or bare handedly using fingers. Masturbation leads to mood enhancement, relieves stress, enhanced sleep, enhanced self-esteem, etc. Guilt is a common after effect of masturbation, which is majorly due to pressure from society and culture. Erectile dysfunction, decreased sperm count, change in curvature of penis, mental illness are common myths of outcome of masturbation, which are not scientifically proved till now. There are many medicines in homoeopathy used to treat the after effects and increased desire of masturbation. Origanum majorana is one of the rarely used homoeopathic medicine for increased desire of masturbation, especially in females.
