masterbating, how do i stop

I can't stop masterbating. I've been doing it since i was 15 and am in my mid twenties now. Thats almost 10 years now i've been trying in vain to quit. I ve stopped for short period, about a month, but i always do it again even when i had a girlfreind. Its like i cant get enough. People say that materbating is healthy, well in my case that doesnt hold true. It causes sooo many problems. After i first started masterbating, when i was 15 i noticed an odor about me. I thougt it was just me till people started to tell me i stink. I also am very shaky and often have muscle spasms. Sometimes my head will jerk one way or another with out my control. If i drink water my mouth will constantly produce saliva. when i wake up in the morning my stomach hurts and i feel nauseous. If i drink too many liquids i will have headaches. It also becomes harder for me to breathe through my nose. And i cant smell things as well. I also get really sleepy and my muscles become weaker. I cant do as many situps or pushups. My face becomes very oily and i sweat alot more. I also am very forgetful. My mind becomes slower. There is also a cloudy substance in my urine. My palms  are also sweaty

During the times i stopped all these symtoms went away, but returned once i started back. This has been the case every time. When i say masterbate i mean i actually ejaculate every time. The symtoms havent been as bad when i didnt ejaculate.

Since i have a bad odor only a few people will be around me. Theres also been a few brave people who told me i need to stop. This i know but i just cant. It interferes with school and my social life. I have no freinds and just want to stay in my room so people can breathe fresh air. Wen i go to a basketball game some people actually say i stink and leave. I just want to be normaly. I even treid using acohol and weed to stop but nothing works. I also tried sleeping in pants. I dont want to drink and i certainly hate smoking. I want to be able to go out to eat and drink water with no fear of stinking. Girls tell me i look good but they dont want to be around me because of my odor. I love women but cant have them. I havent slept with a woman since june 2001. THATS SAD!!

THIS IS NOT A JOKE! I hate myself and sometimes get depressed. It is very hard being like this. can u please tell me how to stop this. Do i have a weak mind since i cant stop.

I too have been masturbating for many years and I think it eventually becomes habitual rather than necesary.  It's like a smoker trying to quit.  You know you shouldn't but do anyway.  I seem to make it part of a daily routine and start even if not aroused or having "thoughts".  I do attempt to control it but the body needs sexual release so after I hold back for awhile, I then need to and start the whole process over again.  Personally I think it ***** and wish it would cahnage.  Good luck, there are worse things we could do.

i have a idea. try to get a hobby. im in the same boat. masterbated for over 8 years and now im noticeing a problem with my erections. they are not as stiff. so what im trying to do is that when i get the urges to masterbate, i go to my coin colection and try to find a coin i dont have. just try to put your self in a position where you wont masterbate.

I don't know if this will get read but... I have been masterbating since 11 yrs old also molested by the same person who tought me how to masterbate. I am now 31 and I still masterbate almost everday and sometimes up to 3 or 4 times a day. I find it hard to even keep my hand off myself when goin to bed or while on the computer. I did however stop for about 2-3 yrs during my marriage, but started right after I divorced. The divorce was not caused by the masterbation. But now I have a hard time gettin aroused and staying aroused. My "payload" is weak, thin and low. I really want to stop...
