Hi all! Let's get straight to the point. I have masturbated over 5 years now and I want to quit for it forever. Unfortunately, this seems impossible to me. I have managed to be without masturbation for one week, but then the difficulties begin. For example, when I go to sleep, I may wake up at midnight and feel so much pain in my testicles that I can't sleep at all. I have tried everything, going outside, reading book, watching tv etc. but it doesn't help. I have to "discharge" myself if I want to sleep on that night. On the other hand, I may think about sex every moment after one week and I can't concentrate on my schoolwork or my job at all. I'd like to stop this masturbation because I have self noticed that it affects in my mood, self-confidence and sociability. I don't like to hear answers like "masturbation is not harmful, it's actually very healthy for you blaa blaa blaa." I just now that I have to get rid of that, but how? I would not like to use any medicines to cure that. Many thanks for your answers!
Masturbation is not harmful bla bla bla there you go now go get yourself a bitch so you don't have to yank your chain
Serious answer. You're not going to stop masturbating. You will have to learn how to control your mood, sociability, etc. Whether you're horny or have just cum, be the kind of person that you want to be. Control your mind and your emotions and your masturbation will take care of itself. To put it another way, get used to it. Masturbation one of the nice parts of life, you're going to do it, you might as well get used to it. Don't worry about it too much one way or the other.
Holy shit another one of these threads. I swear to god sex-ed in this country doesn't fucking work. If you've been jacking off for 5 years that probably puts you between 15 and 18 years old. At this point in your development your parents should be wondering where the Sears Catalog is. All of your friends are punching the munchkin like it's a hate crime, won't admit it and put others down for doing so because they think that by actually doing it they're lame and by making others feel lame they make themselves feel better. Damn near everybody I know except me tried to quit jacking off at your age and none of them stuck with that abstinence because it is unnatural. Fuck quitting! You are a huge bag of raging hormones right now. Enjoy it while you can! In a few years the urge will back off a little and you'll realize how much of a little bitch you're being for asking how to stop. C/S, Rev J
I agree with the Rev J C. You are simply making matters worse for yourself by trying to stop masturbating. It is natures way of dealing with your current emotions. My advice is to masturbate regularly whenever you need to, do not hold back, just go and do it. Even if it is 2, 3 or 4 times a day - you will feel all the better for it. The more that you release your pent up feelings the better you will feel and be able to deal with other matters. Just concentrate on your work in the intervals. Whoever or what whatever has made you feel guilty should be done away with. Masturbation is NOT a sin!!
Thanks for your answers! Hmmph, even though these answers are more suitable and honestly, I didn't get the answer on my question: how could I stop masturbation? Honestly, I don't think that masturbation is a sin. I'm not such a huge religious person. Why I want to stop masturbation is because it affects to my mood. When you masturbate you lose zinc and other nutrients that are vital for your health. You are more anxious, uncertain and lazier when you have masturbated. And now comes the most important part of this text. If you are so sure with your opinion, why shouldn’t you try to be without masturbation? I challenge you for the test! Be 14 days without masturbation and you will notice the benefits. I have seen that when you are over one week without masturbation... ... you have more self-confident ... you are more sociable ... you are more interested about real women and relationship ... you have more energy to do what you want ... other people (especially women) see you more attractive Take a look at this website: http://mediadoggz.livejournal.com/ It's a story for a former porn site admin. Maybe you then realize why to stop masturbation. Here are other wankers experiences about being without masturbation (and porn): http://www.yourbrainonporn.com/what-benefits-do-people-see-as-they-reboot
MikeE actually said something that was right on the money. Don't blame your problems on masturbation. It's just you being unable to control various aspects of you. If you've lost all the nutrients via masturbation, then RECHARGE rather than preserve. 14 days is NOTHING. I've gone 2 MONTHS without it because I was mentally unhealthy at the time. I just couldn't ejaculate for 2 months because my body would just lock up and wouldn't let me even when I'd bring myself close to the edge. Trust me, that was pure HELL not because I wasn't masturbating, but because I was fearing what was otherwise a very healthy things to do - orgasm - due to a particular emotional strain I was experiencing. And to top it off, when I finally DID ejaculate again, on the second time my semen contained blood. Well, maybe that's what you've found, but definitely not me. Those things have absolutely nothing to do with my self-confidence, my sociability, my interest in women/relationship, the level of my energy, nor does it have anything to do with how others perceive me. In fact, when I was going through those 2 months of no-ejaculation, I was: 1 ) SO NOT confident 2 ) the FARTHEST thing from being sociable 3 ) extremely heartbroken and I didn't want relationships, period 4 ) super EXHAUSTED I felt like a zombie 5 ) perceived as a fuckin' basketcase by others because I was so depressed and mentally strange A lot of love from family, friends, and regaining self respect and regular masturbatory habit, as well as other things, all contributed to my recovery. Now I'm in a happy, healthy relationship with a wonderful girl, and she and I both masturbate regularly and we're happy, full of life and energy, full of positive thoughts, and each one enjoying a great social life which also promotes others to perceive us as confident as well. I am, always have, and always will be pro-masturbation. One can masturbate in a healthy manner, and not have to worry about it affecting one's physical health, self confidence, social life, all those things. But those who develop various issues and choose to blame everything on masturbation should take one moment(or two, or three, or a few hundred) and search deeper into their inner selves for the causes of their problems. That is the kind of stuff MikeE has also suggested as well pretty much. If anything, take up something like meditation rather than quitting masturbation. My opinion.
To be young and naïve. Take a multivitaminn exercise regularly and beat your cock like it owes you money! I've been pulling it for 28 years and never experienced anything that you have discribed. Maybe you should go to the doctor a discribe your symptoms (SP?) To them. For gods sake go jerk off it will make you feel better.
It seems like I get no support to my opinions at all on this forum and I don't see any reason to continue this discussion. Maybe it was a mistake to come here at all. But I'm not going to change my opinion - I will stop "fapping" forever. I try to find help somewhere else. Thanks anyway and bye!
Sorry we don't agree with your junk science and are telling you the truth that your problem is Psychological and not Physical. What you are going through is just adolescent hormones. It's perfectly natural and healthy. If you really want advise from people who don't want you to masturbate try a Christian site. C/S, Rev J
Jerkin' the gherkin won't hurcha---eat lots 'o pumpkin seeds=zinc. You'll find that if you quit, you'll wake up with a load in your bed. Perhaps that's preferable to you.
