      I Need to Stop

      Masturbating. I feel like it's getting a little out of hand. I've tried to stop before, and it's extremely difficult. It feels almost like an addiction, to be honest. I'm really tired of having it (or other things sexual in nature) on my mind all the time. Anybody have any advice pertaining to the topic?

      Cold turkey man. Just stop masturbating and don't give in to your urges.

      Oh, don't give in to your "I'll just watch but not tug" urges either. One thing leads to another pretty easily.

      I've tried cold turkey before, and haven't gotten too far. Then again, I didn't have the determination I do now, so heck, maybe it'll work. Thanks for the advice guys

      i don't have this problem, but i have wondered a bit about control of your sexual nature. repression makes it worse, but reinforcing it doesn't work either. i can feel in control of myself for a while, then i find myself walking behind a girl, staring at her ass and getting lost.

      so i guess the overarching question is how to deal with basic biological urges when you don't have a girlfriend.

      what i do is have sex with girls in dreams (which can get out of hand, too) but obviously that takes more dedication. when i can do that well enough i feel better about the current dry spell in waking life.

      But that's the thing; if possible, I'd like to get to a point where I don't really care to do anything sexual unless the situation were to present itself.

      In other words, I don't want to want to use my dreams (or anything, really) for relieving sexual tension, if you know what I mean. And maybe simply being a teenage boy makes that impossible.

      sure, but sexual tension can build up, right? the question is how to manage it. hopefully more people will post because i think this is kind of an interesting subject.

      Masturbating twice a day is not so frequent.

      See the urges for what they are, you don't need to indulge in them, nor ignore them. Whatever you do is entirely your choice, don't consider these urges to have any power over you.

      Don't just stop masturbating with the idea that you have to fight against the urges, be aware when the feelings come and take a step back to decide what you want to do.
      You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.

      I recently had this problem. I cut down to masturbating only three times a week, and then I just quit altogether, and I have been going strong for about 10 days, and honestly, I feel amazing. I feel so refreshed, and I just generally am in a better mood. I highly suggest you go for it.

      Well here is the important question you need to ask yourself. Are you masturbating because you need to, or because you are bored? This works for people who are overweight too. You eat because you feel the need, or because you are bored?

      People do things like eat and masturbate a lot when they are bored and have nothing else to do. You can probably distract yourself from it, you just need to find something else that is fun to do.

      I can only second that. Or else get a gf. I personally think watching gay porn, googleing genital diseases or thinking of your grandma won't get you anywhere since you can simply chose not to. If it's porn that is leading to anything download the free version of this: http://www1.k9webprotection.com/ and type in a password with your eyes closed. That way if the urge ever gets too strong, you won't be able to even if you wanted.

      If it's just masturbating in general, doing lots of sports is the key. And I mean a lot. Give yourself no time to masturbate. Think about your mom or your sister or gay porn the instant you get an urge to. And don't eat foods that will boost your testosterone levels. Then cut down gradually until you stop completely to know that you're free of it.

      Looking up gay porn and bad stuff is probably a bad idea. Since you are going to relate being aroused to that sort of stuff. Which either means you are going to start enjoying it, or you will no longer be able to get aroused at all.

      Yeah I was thinking about that. Like Pavlov's dog associates hearing a bell ring with food. I guess you simply have to be confident of your sexuality then. I for one know that it will never happen to me. Or else just find something that is guaranteed to turn you off like puppies dying or something.

      I'm glad you're doing so well, and hearing about it's definitely motivation for me

      I honestly don't know, I think a bit of both. It definitely does feel like it's become a very 'important' part of my day though; I'm often looking forward to it without realizing.

      I don't THINK it's porn, because I've gone for long periods of time without it and not had any problems. And the prospect of giving it up doesn't really phase me.

      The sports thing is an interesting idea, I had never thought about it before. I enjoy soccer, but have slacked on playing for a while now. Maybe I'll start playing a ton like I used to.

      Also, what foods boost your testosterone levels?

      And I see your guys' point, but, for one, I don't believe you can really 'train' yourself to be attracted to the same sex (not to start a heated debate on the topic or anything).

      If done enough, I suppose you could train your mind to associate arousal with with images of homosexual sex (and consequently become unaroused, depending on the person). But I would think that would take months of doing it to really engrave it into your subconscious (I may be way off on this, I really don't have much knowledge of the topic).

      Personally, I think if you watch enough straight porn the same thing happens. Since there are men and woman in straight porn and you are exposed to both. However there is a big difference to having a preference and then subtly reinforcing it by doing the stuff you like. And doing something you out right hate, and reinforcing that with pleasure.

      I'm not sure I understand completely. Are you saying that, theoretically, if you watch enough straight porn you could become attracted to males, since you associate porn with sexual arousal and males are often involved?

      Yes, I think its possible. Though there are women too, so you would still be attracted to women. It would probably be such a gradual thing you would never even notice though.
