Can anyone give me ideas on how to stop masturbating? I've gone 2 weeks without it before but then go crazy?
Question:
Answers:
Here are some stopping ideas
-every time you want to masturbate, go exercise or run
-picture your mom, sister, grandma, or George Bush
-go out more
Masturbation is wrong if
-you are doing it to porn or a picture of a poor girl
-it is leading you to objectify women
-it takes over your life
If you can do it without those things, I say go for it. But if it's an addiction and you really can't stop, get therapy.
why would you want to stop? Masturbation is natural and healthy. It just gets unhealthy if you're doing it in public or you're rubbing the skin raw. That can lead to infection. Masturbation is nothing to be ashamed or disgusted about. It helps you to get to know your own body and to relieve stress and tension. When you orgasm, your brain releases seritonin which is a natural feel good drug that makes you feel a little happier for a few minutes. Chocolate does the same thing which is why women love it so much. Also, if we were never meant to masturbate, we would be built like a T-Rex. So have fun and don't hurt yourself or others.
why would you want to stop, its normal and healthy
Do something worthwhile with time. Pick up a hobby! Or get a girlfriend (if you are a guy) or a boyfriend (if you are a girl). Do something to get your mind off it.
But then again, masturbating is normal, what is abnormal though is when you let it take control of your life.
But going back, you have too much time on your hands (haha) get a hobby. Like they say, idle hands are the devil's workshop. If you can't find a hobby, find a job.
If you watch porn, stop. When you feel like doing it, do something else like exercising, or something else physical to take your mind off of it.
Why torture yourself? just do it! YOU can do it! enjoy!
go to masturbation anonymous
During youth a regular masturbation is kinda a need and since sex isn't a bad or wrong. why stopping it then?
Whereas there is a addiction-like because you are carrying out too many acts in a day and for long, then it means you have some psychological issue and the masturbation is the consequence and not the cause surely. Anyway, try to divert your mind... get hobbies... perform some sport... spend more time together others persons or out home. avoid any exciting situation or movie.
bro go and heck your e-mail now.
"Stopping something reveals something else."
Well, your name (Silkpanties) is very revealing already.
I'd suggest changing your name to something non-sexual.
Get all the porn out of your house, if you're serious.
Be aware of magazines & movies that are overly sexual and avoid them.
You have mentioned 'going crazy' after 2 weeks. Yes, the energy is powerful. You can use that energy to get a lot done.
Creativity, job, helping others etc.
Check out a 12-step group called SA or SLA and get support from them.
You said boredom sometimes triggers you to masturbate.
The next time you are bored and feel the urge, I suggest writing down your feelings for at least one page.
You may discover something about yourself.
I believe that this is a worthy thing to do (abstinence)
My experience tells me that it can ONLY HELP your relationships.
Of course, once you get a girlfriend, the goal there is to keep the sexual energy between you & her.
Sex will be GREAT, and you will be much happier and so will she for your devotion to the relationship.
idk.. i jus need points
DONT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO SAY "KEEP DOING IT'' it is an unclean and dirty habit. try to do somthing else when you feel like doing it. draw, go outside, watch t.v ...
i had the habit befor too, and its not easy to stop. talk to someone about( allthough it might be emmbarasing, it will help alot) try staing with people more(not being alone) trust me , you just need some selfdisapline.
