I am Admitting to a problem that has taken half my life

Some may say, masterbation is healthy and good in small doses. I am not one of those cases. Since I was 10 years old, not even developed at all, I have been masterbating. I'm nearly 17 now, and the effects are so evident it's scary. Not only have I over aged alittle and gained wrinkles my growth has also been stunted. My penis looks deformed to me and looks like the oldest part of my body and I have a slight bladder problem now but i don't bleed when I pee. I have been doing it for 7 years and lost so much because of it, friends,girls and happiness. Now I have no shame in how I do it, it disgusts me. I have decided to take a serious stand today about it before it's way too late. If there is any tips you can give one in need that would be great. I'll do ANYTHING to stop.

Hmmm.  Never heard that masterbation was unhealthy.  I agree with what Lisa is saying.
I started masterbating when about 9 yrs old....remember still feeling guilty.  A Catholic childhood can induce lots of guilt about body functions..lol.

I really can't believe you are harming yourself...maybe making yourself sore...but no scientific evidence that it will change size or deform.

My concern is Lisa's.....it may be argued that you spend a bit too much time in this activity, I don't know.  Is it destroying your life???  No.  What is apparent from your post if you are telling it like it is....is your feelings about your sexual drive.

Do see someone, please.

For what it is worth:  I am  a 74 yr old woman who is 2 yrs past anal cancer treatment, and I started feeling more like my old self (vibrant) when I bought a couple of toys and enjoyed orgasms again!  I know everyone is different and I respect that.  For me, losing sexual urges..having radiation burns in pelvis area..simply devastated me.  It was hard to tell oncologists what was depressing me.  I felt like a eunich.  That is changing,  as I took charge once more of my sexual health.

Back to vast differences in humans...talking this over with a trained therapist will help you to figure out your sexuality, and take charge or make your peace with who you are.

Lisa gave the best advice.  It sounds like the over-masturbation is a symptom and not a cause.

You said,  "I have no shame in how I do it, it disgusts me"   The disgust is shame, and though some say masturbation is healthy and some say it's a sin, what really matters is how it makes you feel, and it sounds like you feel bad about it.  Maybe you're obsessive/compulsive about it, and that's what is bothering you the most, the fact that you have no control over it.  Maybe you have impulse control issues, maybe there's something in your past that you need to deal with, but my best advice is to talk to a therapist.  They can really help.   Please seek help if it's something that makes you feel bad about yourself.

masterbation is a sin and after doing for awhile you will get addicted to it. it will lower your confidence and self esteem and it can make you suffer. if i were you i wouldnt trust people who say it's a good thing to do!
it could be prevented in may ways, for instance; it could be as easy as DONT WATCH PORNO, dont stay in bed after you wake up in the mornings, dont eat foods high in fats before going to bed, when you are at home alone and feel like doing it, just get up and go take a walk outside or meet your friends. and finally, doing exercises is the best way to prevent it. as you eat you get calories to burn, you can burn your calories either in a healthy way such as jogging or an unhealthy way (materbating)


hope this helps

You need to try to find something to take your mind off of masterbating.  When the urge hits you, find something else to do.  Remove all the porn from your home.  Dont try to go cold turkey, it wont work.  If you masterbate 4 times a day then cut down to 3 for a few weeks then down to 2 and so on.  If you are still having probs and cant seem to stop you may want to talk with a psychitrist.  Good luck

I wasn't aware there were any consequences in masterbating and even chronic masterbating.  I know I have a guy friend that does that.  I have seen his penis and its not normal looking really or kind of small.  I don't know if this has anything to do with how many times he masterbates.  He says he sometimes does its 3 times a day. But this is totally news to me.  I hope you succeed.  I always tell guys to focus on something that totally turns you off gets you soft really quick.
