how you masturbate watching porn films or just imagining? if you masturabate watching porn movies than stop doing that, if you have any collections of it throw it or give to someone to your friends, or delet it from your computer if you have stored some of that movies, try concentrating in some other activity, like your studies,sports,games and many more....

Hi.

Almost everyone feels insecure about masturbation—or self-pleasuring. We all want to know that what WE do is OK. From your note, it looks like you feel that it’s somehow harmful or wrong. There are no data to indicate that self-pleasuring is in any way harmful. However, fear and misinformation about sex can definitely be harmful, because it can keep you from enjoying your life and feeling confident in yourself.

Well, I’m here to tell you that whatever works for you is what works for you, and please stop worrying and enjoy your life. The fact that you’re trying to stop self-pleasuring and are finding it difficult should tell you that it’s part of who you are. Accept it as a wonderful gift that keeps on giving. At your age, your hormones are raging, and your body is telling you that it wants pleasure. Listen to the wisdom of your body.

Here are some facts about self-pleasuring:

It’s the surest way to orgasm and the most effective way to learn about our sexual response cycle, as well as the surest way men to learn orgasmic control.  If you feel you come too quickly, the surest way to slow down is to teach yourself a new pattern via self-pleasuring.

Another advantage is self-knowledge: How can you show a partner what you like if you don’t know yourself?

And the #1 reason for self-pleasuring: it’s fun!

Self-pleasuring is a part of who you are sexually—for your whole life, not just when you don’t have a partner. People self-pleasure from birth to death, when they’re alone and when they’re partnered. It’s just one of many options we have as sexual beings. It’s not better or worse than partner sex, just different—like steak is different than chicken.

Remember that all our scientific data show that the people who take responsibility for their OWN pleasure have the best sex lives and rate themselves as happiest about their sexuality.

For more information about male sexuality, including self-pleasuring, I highly recommend a book which has helped thousands of my college students: "The New Male Sexuality," by Bernie Zilbergeld, Ph.D., widely available online, both used and in paperback. Please pick up a copy. I think it will help you feel less frightened and more confident. Good luck! Dr. J
