This forum has opened my eyes. I've given up for Lent and am on abstinence day 3 now. Caught about 2 hours sleep last night! I've also been looking at porn and saying to myself "It's ok mate, just don't touch it!", but already I've come to realise how pointless that is. It's like trying to give up smoking

It's so great though to read everyone else's stories, because I can relate to almost all of them. I've been indulging in onanism since aged 12, I'm 23 now and only lost my virginity when I was 22. What worries me is the idea that it's been due to my habit. Has anyone ever thought that? Also, despite  having finally had sex

relationship, because over the years masturbation has just become a routine

. I clearly see it as a barrier to finding a girl, which is why I think it's the right thing to do to nip it in the bud.

What I think will get me through is this; instead of fighting the urge

to masturbate, why not use the new-found mental

alertness to hone your chatting-up skills and pursue a nice girl? Perhaps it's selfish to try and attain someone purely to release one's tension, but ultimately that's how I feel I'll get over this.

Good luck to you all!

Please masturbate beforea date,you do.t want to be minute man

So this is where I'm at...
I started wanking when I was maybe 12 or 13, I am now 25 and have been a steady 6 to 7 times a week kind of guy. Recently I started dating a fantastic girl and whether it is right or wrong I feel like I am cheating on her when I masturbate.  I have now gone for for over 4 months without masturbating, watching porn, or having a wet dream and things are building up.  At first it was really tough and then it wasn't so bad, now were back to holy frick I think I'm going to die.  What have some of you all done to alleviate the tension without rubbing one out?

Its a sexual addiction, and is quiet hard to break. At best you look to control it, never really getting out of it. Look up the Sexual Addiction website or even SLAA. And see if any of the questions relate to yourself. This addiciton is very taboo, and is not talk about enough. Myself I also have a sexual addiction to masturbating & pornography. At first it was grand, but then spent longer on the net, until eventually I got a hit from it, and from this hit you want more and more. For me keeping away from the internet helps. I know frustration is a big thing, but as someone told me you are hardly gonna die from it! Do something else, go out running, walking take your mind off it. Today I lapsed, obviously as am on the net. Very hard for myself to go longer than 3 weeks. I just say sure what the hell, seen as i havent done it for a while, sure why not. The problem is I get a hit from it, which could easily bring me back to my addictive behaviour. So after today no more internet for a while and if do need to go on it will time limit myself. Where are you all from?

Hey,

Glad to hear a fellow Christian doing the same, I am too.  I am struggling with temptation but I have managed well so far.  I did think whether it would be unhealthy not masturbating.  I would really recommend you to buy "Sex is not the problem (lust is) by Joshua Harris - really worth it!  I am currently reading it and has help heaps.  I feel somewhat my spirit more vibrant and happier.

Hope thats help!

I am really struggling with this. Every time i got the thought in my head and do it without any extra thought. I think it is becoming a habit that my body is just getting used to and this is not good. As I said before, I am really struggling and I cant find a way to deal with my problem. After going through with it, I feel really bad about myself and say that I wont do it again, but I end up doing it again, day after day, and it is really frustrating as I feel I have no power over this strong temptation. So now am joining this community hoping to get support from you guys. I look forward to stop my bad habit with this community and with your support, hopefully I do so. I don't know where else to go.

I can't stop, I do it everyday! I don't know why! It is so damn frustrating! Once I get a thought into my head, without second thoughts, I masturbate right away and I can't seem to control myself. I really don't know how fight against this temptation of lust, any help will be greatly appreciated.

i agree with everything you said!

if sperm come out twice in a week it would problem for health in future while child production???

I am Christian and I still find it hard not to masterbate. I know the consequences of my actions in life after death and I am trying to stop. It is an easy thing.

Masturbation is a very destructive force, nature does has not intended you to do so and waste all ur productive power!.

FYI, because masturbation is unnatural, it impairs eyesight, back problems, drying up of cerebro spinal fluid (with out which motor functions may cease) and on and on

you are supposed to get married and have legit sex with your wife stead of making your hand your wife...
I am stopping MB now. I feel like crap once i do jack off but before doing so i feel like i can jack off 200 times and wont feel anything...but twice in a row am im all soft and weak...so guys, brotherly advice, get married/relationship or get busy with other things than **** and ***** on ur mind...

Really its very bad for ur health!

Hi guys, I was addicted to gaming and after some friends advice stopped playing at all.
Seeing addiction can be defeated, I decided to use similar way to stop masturbating.
After some searching I've found this article
http://movingbeyondmpsf.wordpress.com/2011/03/13/the-sexual-obsession-cycle-a-map-of-self-pleasure-island/
It lists mind states cycle that moves person into masturbation.
After changing words here and there and adopting text to your own situation it's possible to unveil all routes that lead to masturbation, and redirect them so you'd never do it again.
My problem was treating people like sex objects, a mindset that didn't account others' rights, etc.
I've built questions that pop out during every state of this cycle, like "Am I a worthless?" "Why girlfriend left me?" "Why can't I have a girl whenever I need?". In my case it all boiled down to "I'm God and you are useless **** I can have anytime".
Of course masturbation over an image never makes one person any way better than other. Real sex too never qualifies people as such. After realising it, comes regret and self pitying like "I'm such a bad person","I worth nothing"etc. which leads to another masturbation cycle.
So instead of pitying myself on question "Am I a bad person?" now I ask "How can I become a better person?". Every time I catch myself looking at girl like a sex object, I tell myself "This person has as much rights as I have","We are in cafe/gym/beach and there are many others things to do in here besides abusing other peoples' rights". This isn't perfect set, I'm reviewing it as the problem cause clarifies. But it keeps me from masturbating, gives more freetime, better confidence etc.

My problem and goal is well clarified with this quote, if you think same, try following steps above, good luck.

"Dirty thoughts are fun. I bet the nun and the priest do it just out of earshot. What if ****’s Sporting Goods were really about games involving dicks? Those girls walking into Fridays right now dressed up for Prom Night would be perfect for Girls Gone Wild, and what better place than a Fridays, with customers like me watching? Heck, you gotta relate to the real world this way to give your porn some meaning, don’t you?
Then again, I’m not psycho. Dirty thoughts aren’t who I am. I don’t want to take my kids to the The Muppets and have to fight off dirty thoughts about the moms and kids around me."

....... im sorry you feel this way.

  im married, have a great career, control the finances, and provide for my family. oh, i forgot to mention that i **** my wife once a day. women are attracted to providers, you just have to pick the flowers from the weeds. I hope someday you will be able to feel the amount of love i feel for my wife after twenty years of marriage, and after raising two beautiful children.

Go ahead. be normally cautious from whom youre receiving the so called "service". its normal for a man to want a female. just watch out for your health, stay away from porn, and abstain from masterbation (masturbation) (or develop a cycle, like once a week)

Our sexuality as men is basic and primal. we shall not ignore this, but we shall adapt it to modern civilization. i congratulate you on your accomplishments and bid you good luck

Hi everyone I've been dealing with the same exact thing as many of the commenters have. I'm 20 years old and a college student. A little bit of background. I had been yankin the hang low daily, at times more than once in day. Like everyone else I felt 'at ease,' after having done so. In retrospect; too at ease. This self stimulating habit was coupled with porn during most occasions. After having finished with the use of porn, I felt not only relieved sexually but in its place I felt depressed and 'hollow.' During this time frame of habitual yankin I had to motivation, wasn't happy, no urge to meet women i.e. too nervous and ashamed to approach women.

I've decided to tackle this head on for good and have been. I feel way more motivated and have a genuine feeling of ease and confidence in myself. Now, the sexual tension is present no question. Though I simply utilize and embrace it for what it is and that is, a challenge. The differences between yankin it daily to not doing it at all are palpable. I enjoy the tease that comes from seeing an attractive woman because it reminds of why I'm abstaining in the first place and that is because while yankin it like a mad dog I never really got wound when I saw said woman. Its refreshing to see a real life, living, breathing woman at grocery store purchasing cereal and get turned on haha. Being dependent on any one thing for satisfaction broke me down; though abstaining from that very thing, well, will build you right back up.

Now with all this being said; everyone needs to find their 'trigger,' their wake up call if you will. For me it was coming to the understanding that masturbation may not be necessarily 'normal.' Now before you turn away, take from this what you can and want. I had come across this article written by Marina Robinson that served as my 'trigger'.

Here's the link:
http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/cupids-poisoned-arrow/201105/weird-masturbation-habits

It's made me really grasp just how strange something considered 'normal' may really be; I found it very humbling and am running with it. Maybe you will to.

Haven't posted on here for a while.  Just wanted to report that once again, I haven't masturbated or had sex for 27 days.  Haven't really noticed any effects from the abstinence yet.  Had one wet dream which occurred after getting my 20th clean day.

The post above by SpanishTrampoline is a little concerning in that he developed prostate problems possibly due to his abstinence.  I am hoping to get sex soon though (just not with prostitutes as I've had enough of paying for it).

Unlike my period of abstinence last time early last year, I haven't been abstaining from watching porn though.  It's an activity I enjoy although I don't watch that much (just basically collect a lot of overpriced DVDs!).

I have read your post. Some post has given me a strong will to stop the masturbation Addiction and some did not but i would like you guys to best of luck and try to stopped it.

I'm here because Im addicted to masturbation and porn as well. I could stop watching porn or not to masturbate for a long time. It is that im just to scared to stop masturbating. Because 3 years back i was working at the grocery store at night. And those days when i had decided to stop the masturbation and watching porn. And i decided to stop it now. I was so happy that i could make it. But right after 3 week while on stopping my habit, i was standing, working happily at the store suddenly i start feeling dizzy, and my heart rate went up and i got scared so much. I could not breath and start having a panic attack. I feel like Im going to die. My heart rate was so high. Since that im scared to stop masturbating. Although at that time i was taking a medication for my heart palpitation as well. After that incident i went to the doctor and they have told me that i did not took a medication and that was a cause of dizziness, and panic attack. Now it is been 2 years. I have stopped taking medication for my heart palpitation and feeling much much better then before. But my only concern that. If i stopped masturbation, will i have that be feeling of dizziness, heart rate or panic attack? Or am i thinking too much.

I want you guys to tell me for those who have been stopped masturbating for 1 or 2 month.did you guys have any hard time or difficulty like feeling of dizziness or something else. If it is please share it. I need answer.

IT is good to hear from some here. First of all you have to find out or share with us your fear, that why you are leaving you habit of masturbation. Since you are 63 and i must say that it is very long time. I Think should have realize every time you try to stop masturbation that what will happen if you stop wont stop you. Like you said that you fell better after 1 week. It is all in our mind. If you go for 3 week or 1 month then you can do it :D

What happen doing mastrubating?

for those who are here and trying to stop masturbating. The first thing i will recommend you guys to find your fear first of not stopping masturbation. If you wont find or wont fight with your fear you will never be able to stop. And i will recommend all of you guys who will or are already commenting. They should tell their problem and it is our job to help each other rather then just telling what happen. I Think thats the best we can do here.

Hi guys I just read ur comments.............ummm i dunno what to say but i am 13 years old and i masturb daily i know i am doign a sin so i should stop it and never do it again please help me get rid of this habbit i started fo when i saw some videos in my father laptop 3 years back...

Well, I have experienced almost everything in masturbation. I did it at a very early stage when I was 12 year old. I did without watching porno. I have done it for several time a day and I have also tried to not to do it and i was successful for 2 years. I suffered a phase when I tried hard to stop it. I felt guilty during that whole phase. I have tried medication (which I couldn't find exactly and it was embarrassing for a 16 year old). I couldn't focus on my studies and I blamed masturbation for it. I finally stopped it but couldn't find a change in my behavior. However, I just became more shy and less sexual towards girls. I tried not to think of sex or related things. During those 2 years I faced too many wet dreams but they had pattern in my case, i guess the cycle, it had to be in 2 days, 3, 5, 7, 10 or 14 days and the order kept repeating. Couldn't find a medicine to prevent wet dreams as well. Later on I found out that this has given me nothing because many guys whom I considered better than me, even in studies, used to do it. So I picked it up again. This time I used porno as my medium for turning myself. Now I have several fetishes and fantasies. And woah, I'm a virgin as well. Though, its easy for me to get a girl but I just want to be like this. Sex I believe is a holy kinda thing or whatever. May be I am wrong there but I want to experience it like that. I sometimes do it excessively but usually its under my control. I feel that doing it after every 2 days is completely fine for me. I lose a significant amount energy after I get done. And doing it excessively leave me weak. Nowadays I do it when I want to feel special to get over stress or some bad situation or sometime even a good situation. I have had several fantasies over internet and I have almost had them all on net. I feel I am sexually very active person. Sex is the second thing on my mind most of the time. When i see some girl, sex is the obvious thing that hits my mind. Though it depends to some extent upon conditions and situations.
Having said all this, I want to tell you guys a fact that doing exercise really helps. It keeps you busy, utilizes your extra energy, shapes your body and makes you be concerned about it so as not masturbate. Masturbation I believe is a necessary action which helps in normal development of body and regulates the hormones of body which affects the personal behaviour to some extent.
Anyway, I have a problem too. Although, I'm a veyr sexually active person but there is this one girl about whom I can't think of sex. She is as prety as an actress but I still can't think of her in that way. May be I love her or something like that, but, I wonder why I cant have those feelings for her as well.

I'm a male who masturbated at least two or three times a week from ages 16 to 30. Sometimes I looked at porn, other times I just used my imagination. When I turned 22, I also started going to red light districts whenever I had money, because girls would not have sex with an awkward, nerdy runt like me for free. Until I was 30, I felt weaker, dumber, and less capable than other guys. They all seemed strong and fierce and hypercompetent.
I was physically small and thin, pale, with bad posture, hush puppy eyes, and had never played sports. If you put me in a random group of 50 guys, I would be the weakest. I was constantly bullied at my job and on the street by everyone: family, accquaintances, strangers, male, female, young and old. I had no real friends. I was yelled at, shoved, laughed at, called awful names, menaced, sexually humiliated, etc. I was bullied out of two jobs that weren’t even very good to begin with. It was a living hell.
In my late 20s I had stumbled onto a website that advocates complete celibacy for men from a spiritual perspective. This site inspired me to become celibate when I turned 30; I was so wretched that I was willing to give up sex if I could strengthen and evolve myself. I quit masturbating, looking at porn, and visiting prostitutes. I also quit smoking. Then I started weight training, hardcore. I had lifted on and off before this, but never made any progress beyond beginner gains.
In the first couple of months of celibacy, it was hard to restrain myself from masturbating. The first few weeks were the hardest. I took it one day at a time, crossing off each “pure” day on my calendar, considering each 24 hour period an impressive feat. After the first couple of weeks, I felt much less desire to masturbate, and after a couple of months I attained a sort of equilibrium where I had almost no desire to look at porn or masturbate.
In my sixth year of celibacy I fell down, and had sex with several girls I met from chat. On the mornings after I had sex, I would feel this awful emptiness in my lower belly, as if my energy had been drained. My mind would feel sluggish and dull, and in the gym I'd only be able to lift 70 or 80% of what I'd previously been lifting. After each ****, it took me about two weeks of excruciating work to recover my strength levels.
I masturbated two times in those six years because a couple of girls from chat practically begged me to *** on webcam. I found out one of the “girls” was actually a guy. I never felt the urge to masturbate on my own, the idea of doing it seems contemptible to me now. I only had two or three wet dreams a year. I should actually call them “nocturnal emissions” because I never dreamed about sex, I would just feel a buildup in my sex organ (which sometimes wasn’t even erect) like I had to urinate, and semen would come out.
I'm now 37 and have been lifting weights since that day of resolution. I'm usually one of the stronger guys at the gym. I gained 13 kg (muscle and some fat). I never took steroids or even prohormones. I'm in the best shape of my life and I look younger than I did ten years ago, younger but at the same time more manly. When I don't wear my glasses, I get looks of interest from girls in their 20s. I still have a long way to go before I can really call myself “strong”, but I know I will get to that level.
Emotionally, I think I’ve learned what “passion” and “burning desire” really mean. I can actually feel the hot, built-up sexual desire roiling in my lower belly, desperate to come out as sex or aggression. It’s like a savage beast inside me giving me anger, power, and maybe even an aura, like the auras around martial artists you see in Japanese comic books. When I’m around others, especially women, I try hard to keep that energy inside myself (a grown man’s raw, urgent sexual desire is obviously embarrasing in the workplace, public transportation, and restaurants) but I think people can sense it.
I'm not afraid of conflict anymore. Even if someone is bigger and stronger than I am, I can look them in the eye and stand up to them. Why? Because I have more anger and self-control than he does; he probably masturbated or had sex his wife or girlfriend a few days ago. In fact, the bigger and more successful he is, the more likely it is he had sex recently. Also, I feel strong enough to endure any abuse that I’m able to  inflict on others. I'd rather be beaten up, shot, stabbed, maimed, imprisoned, or killed than be a timid sheep like I was in my youth.
My mind is more active, I learn things faster, and I’m confident that I can learn and master anything if I put in the effort. Formerly, although I liked to read novels, I had been a slow learner and wasn’t able to concentrate for more than 10 or 15 minutes at a time. I grew up in poverty and ignorance while seeing rich people enjoy wealth and status, but now I know I can achieve wealth. I’m reading business books and I get new business ideas frequently.
I've decided to resume my vow of celibacy for the rest of my life. This time I’m dead serious; I will tattoo “shoot me if I have sex” on my forehead if I have to. The abuse and rejections I underwent in my youth have made me wary of conventional relationships, and people in general. I believe any improvement in my life has been due to saving my sexual energy and using it for constructive purposes. I will continue my weight training and also take up judo or brazilian jiujitsu and get a black belt in five years.
Based on the foundation of celibacy, I’m submitting myself to further disciplines and austerities that are almost as challenging and radical; such as waking up at 5 am, doing 108 bows every morning, meditating at least one hour a day, vowing nonviolence, and being vegan. I believe these practices will channel the unruly sex energy into spiritual development. After an unhappy childhood and youth, I feel my real life is just beginning.

By reading your post, it gave me a strength to quite masturbation forever. Although, It is not an easy as well. But not impossible. From the past 2 week i did not masturbate, yesterday when i came home from work and saw myself alone at home. Now i need to go 2 weeks again. For me It is not hard to quite til i get 1 month, but i dont know why i get scared in 3rd week. I think i have phobia.

Musicster, I'm glad that I was able to inspire someone. You have my full support. I think one has to be extremely radical and creative in defeating this habit.

During the critical first month, ruthlessly block out or avoid anything that leads you to masturbate. You may have to go outside your usual lifestyle until you can resist the temptations of daily modern living.

Here are some things to avoid completely:
-Browsing the internet at home (the temptations are just too great: porn,  chatrooms, youtube, dating sites, humor sites, etc.)
-Any type of porn
-Looking at womens' bodies
-Going to places where there are a lot of attractive young women (the trendy areas of the city, bars, clubs, coffee shops, malls, universities, red light districts, etc)
-TV
-Magazines (especially men's magazines like esquire, fhm, etc.)
-Novels (they tend to inflame the emotions)
-Movies (also inflame the emotions)
-Low-minded, sex-focused people
-Pop, rap or rock (the rhythms and lyrics seem to arouse lust and aggression)
-Being home alone; stay outside in a public place until you are ready to sleep.
-Comparing oneself to others, such as the "cool" guys with pretty girlfriends. most of them are Machiavellian douchebags who just get girls because they have looks and money and won't take "no" for an answer.

Here are some things to actively do:
-Keeping the mind pure and focused on higher things
-Associating with high-minded, respectable people
-Exercising (gym, jogging, sports) to blow off some of the excess energy
-Being outdoors in nature as often as possible (in a park, etc)
-Listening to uplifting classical music or religious talks
-Repeating positive affirmations (whatever works for you, e.g. "I can do it", "I am pure", "I am strong", "god is with me") throughout the day, and especially when in bed
-If being alone at home is a major problem, ask to sleep at a friend or acquaintance's place.

I've never had any anxiety or heart palpitations in the third week of abstaining. If anxiety attacks are a major concern for you, you could masturbate once every three weeks. That would be pretty reasonable and respectable in itself. I think it takes about two weeks for a man to recover from one ejaculation, so masturbating once every three weeks would give your body time to recover. What ever you choose to do, best of luck.

Thanks for the great guide. I'll be taking your advice as a good student :P. The major problem right now I'm facing is my health, 2nd is porn, and masturbation. Because I'm way skinny. I have read many post around saying that masturbation does not cause health problem. Some of post were agree that it cause your health and it makes you skinny. I just want to know if is it really true?. Although, It is been 4 years when i tried to stopped to masturbating. At that time i had heart problem, palpitation and worse anxiety. Plus i was on the medication for my heart rate the medication was " zolft". Maybe that was the reason when i had panic attack. But i need to find out now if i still get that panic attack or something else if i go for 3 weeks without masturbation and for porn. I hope it wont happen. Since it is been 4 years and now I'm trying again to quiet. My plan is if i go for 3 weeks without masturbation and porn then i ill start working out. Wish me best of luck and ill be here for more motivation and will keep posting and reading comments of yours and my other friend from here :D.

I think masturbation probably harms health. First, it makes the guy tired so he doesn't have the energy to exercise and build muscle. Second, semen contains a lot of important nutrients, including "lecithin", which is a major ingredient in the myelin sheaths of nerve cells. Semen's composition is similar to to the central nervous system; after all, each sperm cell could become a human being. It's good that you've decided to work out! I think working out improves well-being tremendously. Best of luck man! :)

Hey sorry guys, i made a new account. I could not logged in the previous account. So i made a new account with a same name. So i hope you guys done mind.

And yes, I guess you are right. I feel weak. But when i don't masturbate for one week or 2 week, i feel that i have energy, but their is one more problem, that every-time  when i go for 2 weeks with out masturbation, i feel lazy and feel sleepy and feel tired as well by not masturbating. Is that a normal thing or am i changing my habits or is their is something else. Because as soon as i masturbate, i feel relive and feel active, but no power inside of me :(. What could it be?

Hi musicster1, I honestly can't understand the laziness, sleepiness, and tiredness you feel in your second week of abstaining from MB. I've never experienced anything like that. Maybe other factors are causing the tiredness.

I see. One more thing. Back days when i went for 3 weeks i was on my medication called "zolft" for my anxiety. You think the reason for panic attack was my medication?

I tried zoloft as well as other meds in my twenties for depression and social anxiety, but not after I became celibate. I never experienced any panic attacks or heart palpitations from zoloft. I think it made me sleepy and relaxed, and gave me headaches when I stopped taking it. I do not know if your panic attack was due to zoloft.

You have too much time on your hands...
Find something to do, you need goals and aims. And you sure as hell better stick to them!
Make a time table, and plan you entire week. You need a routine, after 2-3 months it will become second nature.
So, make some short term goals. e.g
- training ( start bulking up ) it takes more time from your day than you think.
- do a course
- learn a different language
- read books at home - if you find a good book its not as bad as you think.

In your spare time, make time for friends and socialize. Don't waste time at home...
...that leads to TEMPTATION!

I don't know, but in my other post someone posted that medication i was taking, was the effects of the panic attack, dizziness. But i need to find out more about the abstaining masturbation for 1 month if that cause anything.

I know it is not an easy to get rid of your mind from net watching free porn online. I have trying not to masturbate but in the end i gave up. For how long have you been addicted when you were six? Ill be happy to hear more about quitting your habits.

y shud we masturbate?

Dude,ive been masturbating for a longtime now and i dont get it,should i or should i not?

Yet another example of how religion poisons people's minds with sick, sadistic, totally dangerous lies! Masturbation abstinence is so unbelievably harmful, you have no idea. It's a torture that accomplishes nothing, increases blood pressure, lowers the immune system, reduces longevity (proven!) increases the risk of prostate cancer, induces neurosis and an unhealthy view of sexuality. The Catholic Church is obesessed with tormenting innocent children with this crap and, bar none, holds the highest statistic for pedophila of ANY organization! Such doctrines are a crime against humanity. Masturbation is a miracle drug in the palm of your hand.
Don't feed the repression monster!
