Actually, I do believe it's true, because I went through a phase like this where I wanted nothing else but sex and I masturbated a lot. Nothing else interesred me, everything else was stupid and boring. Turns out I was depressed, got medication for that, still take it and things just got back to normal.
But, I never understood why a depressed person would want to have sex so much and masturbate a lot... until I saw this, and then it clicked. I probably just needed the dopamine fix because that was the only thing that made me feel good.
Depression and anxiety definitely has something to do with it in my case but what's weird is that I don't have any desire for sex whatsoever. It's 100% just a habit/addiction/distraction. I hardly even get any pleasure from it and without an exception feel absolutely shit afterwards. Then I hit rock bottom and stop doing it for few weeks but as the first signs of healing start appearing meaning I can feel the tiniest amount of horniness again I then relapse and the loop starts all over again.
Been without about a week now, again, and I'm about at the point where it starts getting hard again. By it I don't mean IT.
Yeah, you're in a loop. You should try and get out more, when the loop starts that is. There is nothing wrong with masturbating IMO, even if it's a few times a week, or even once a day, but if you start doing it several times a day, yeah, that is somewhat not really healthy. Sure, you're keeping your prostate in check (this is mainly why I recommend anyone above 30, 35 to do it regularly), but that's not the reason why you're doing it, is it.
For me, it was mainly sex. Had a lot of quarels with my partner back then and makeup sex was the only thing I wanted... it felt weird... I've always been agressive in bed, but this time, I felt like I wanted to punish her... I really have no idea what was going on with me at that time, it was a weird period, I didn't feel like myself at all.
