Masturbation is not sinful. But It might interfere with your ability to perform sexually when the time comes because you form strong mental associations between  your fantasy world and sexual pleasure. It then becomes difficult to get aroused by a real person. This could lead to embarrassment, stress and anxiety, which makes the problem worse. You then may resort back to masturbation even tho you have a partner, or wife. No sex, no children. That's about the only problem.

After marriage, one has to try to convert the habit or massturbation. The goal of masturbation was to have a quick orgasm where as goal of intercourse is delayed orgasm.The whole effort is reversed.In intercourse the excitement of male is to reduce the urge and the female partner has to enhance the urge, then only, orgasm can happen simultaneously. Both should reach climax to gather. After marriage, masturbation may be considered as a stop gap arrangement.

MINDFUL ABDOMINAL BREATHING TO BE FREE FROM ANY BAD HABITS; Know the details of abdominal breathing from Google and do this breathing consciously. This breathing injects great energy in you and it will drive away any problems you have in your body, mind and psyche.It may take time but results are sure.Start with 10 minutes a day and reach up to 30 minutes per day. Pick up any convenient time. If you do this as a regular routine, you will lead you life without any hang ups.

The above suggestion is as good as praying. when you pray, your attitude is receptive. you visualize success, your breathing is slow and deep. These factors bring your mind at alpha level. whatever you want, is obtained it your mind is at alppha level

Thanks for all the advice!  I have been trying to stop for two or three years, to no avail.  I am religious and it is against my faith, but it is SO hard to stop.  The best advice I have gotten is to pray when the urge hits, and I have been told that I was brave by telling someone else my problem.  It is very shameful, and just telling someone helps a lot.  Even though I keep relapsing, I know that I can try that much harder to break the habit.  With my faith, I cannot fail.

Weight gain has nothing to do with masturbation. It is the worry about masturbation and general depression. Good exercises, rest and cheerful would make you Okay. Over weight is a big problem. If you are skinny by your basic constitution, you may remain under weight. Good good, reguar exercise, positive mood and worry free life will make you healthy.You will gain weight as per tenancy of your body.Many a time skinny people are mote healthy Than obese persons.If you cannot do any exercise, just walk for thity minutes twice a day. you will regain your health.Be cheerful and healthy.

If you are healthy physically and mentally and if you are masturbating in limits, no harm will occur in your body , mind and sex. Suppressing the urge is not easy. You will again fall a prey to this habit. You can convert this urge to mental energy. This can be done by circulating your urge or awareness around your microcosmic orbit.  You can calm your excitation by taking slow and deep breath. If you practice both of this you can easily be free from the habit.Reduce number of masturbation as much as possible. Do not worry if you do it some time. Always masturbate with lubricated hands. Do not stop breathing when you masturbate.I have posted number of suggestion in this community on this subject. please go through them. There are good suggestion from others as well.Worrying about masturbation is more harmful than doing masturbation. Wish you best of luck

I just want to add to what lookingup33 said and I hope that what I can add will help all the young folks out here who seem to have a lot of guilt over this.

I will start off with a joke I heard growing up. A survey was done that asked 100 men if they masturbated. The results from the survey were as follows:  75% said yes, 25% said no, and 100% lied! ;)

The rest of this post is honest, factual, from my own experience, without religious influence or medical jargon. Not everyone has the opportunity of sex-ed class or the ability to just talk freely with parents on the topic. Guys (and gals) it is just as hard for your parents to talk about this with you--as you with them. However, I do know that your Dad or Mom will gladly welcome the time if you care to 'privately' sit and talk and ask questions about it with them individually. Meaning guys, its better you talk to your Dad about this (not your Mom), and Gals speak with your Mom. It is just easier that way.

I truly hope that any and all of you find it helpful.

The reality is most everyone masturbates (period). It is completely natural.

First, I'm an older guy, in my 40's, married, and with children. I have been around the block and I am sharing with you my experiences with a "been-there-done-that" point of view. I, like most kids growing up, had discovered an awareness of my body and the sensations of masturbation. Some of you may even have had "wet dreams" before you even tried masturbation. This entire process is entirely natural. Personally, I have masturbated on/off since I was a kid. As you get older it is something that you get less interested in, lets be honest when you are kid you have a lot of free time on your hand ;).

There is nothing inherently wrong with masturbation. I respect everyone's individual religious beliefs and I am not going to say anything against anyone's religious views. However, from a pure basic point of masturbation and growing up, it is entirely natural and ok. Honestly, more harm will be done trying to think you have to "fix" something or yourself. You are a beautiful unique human being and there is nothing wrong with you--NOTHING.

Now to dispel a few myths.
- You will NOT grow hair on the palms of your hands from masturbating.
- You will NOT go blind.
- You will NOT have a permanent erection.
- Eating different types of food will not stop you from masturbation.
- or any other myths you may have heard in the locker room, or from your buddies...whatever it is you have heard I know they are not true.

There are plenty more I am sure, and I can tell you 100% they are all false. Unfortunately, people (parents, etc.) passed these over the years to children to make them feel guilty instead of doing the hard thing--being open and honest. All of these myths just cause lots of guilt, angst, and fear. Just imagine how much better you can feel just knowing that you are 100% NORMAL! I have to get this point across, read this to yourself clearly, loudly, and slowly:

I AM 100% NORMAL.

Every, every, every person has the same need and experience growing up. (period).

I don't have hair on my palms, I'm not blind (I have glasses, but that is just because I am old).

Now where can this not be good for you. First off, this is something that is very private and personal for you only. As an example, this is not something you would do in public, or post on Facebook, or something completely stupid.

In the end, be true to yourself and do not hurt other people. And know that if you need to, I know your parents are there for you. Go where you can get the truth, not the locker room, or your buddy. Hell you could probably spend an afternoon in the library by yourself and get all the facts on the topic (for what it is worth).

Be kind, be safe, and be honest. You all are wonderful people and I hope that you can free yourselves of any guilt with masturbation. It is a natural part of growing up and your life.

Peace.
