    Hi there! I'm 17 years old and I have this problem since... always tecnically. I started masturbating when I was around 6 simply by watching some stripping models on a computer by mistake. Since then It's been an obsession. After a while I became pretty good at hiding it from my parents. More time passed the worst it got, I passed around 4 to 7 or more hours watching it, ditching studying and responsibility. With time I noticed that I had (and still have) a terrible memory and I'm incapable of concentrating on anything. I have difficulties at following simple instructions and I'm almost constantly tired (even more during school year). And even without direct pornography from the computer my mind constantly tries to get me excited with the most fucked up things. This along with other problem of self esteem and other stuff. And some time ago I had a bout 3 month of pretty heavy depression. I almost act like a retarded sometimes. I also started have a distroted view of the world and of women (in particular). Studying became almost impossible, in fact, I barely passed this year. Anyway my interest are: programming, physic (which I have been kinda terrible at with this), drawing, anime, videogames. I hope I wasn't too long and depressive.

    Thanks. No, I still can't bring myself to quit. Once happened that I quitted for about a month but it didn't last long. Even without using the computer, I'd still do it with my thoughts and fantasies. It's almost like it's a part of me. And you?

    Well I've already quitten before several times but I keep going back on it. I think my most time without it was 1 year or so.
    What I would suggest you, is to place your computer(if it's a laptop) somewhere that it's not your desk or easy to acess. I think masturbation it's not really that bad of a deal as long as you don't abuse it.
    Like any adiction it's really hard to just quit, if it makes you feel better or easier just regularly leave it.
    Also try to understand why you do it, and try to find a sollution for your problem.

    I don't even know if there's an actual cause for it. Since I started 11 years ago it became an habit and a way to get free of stress. But now I even do it without an actual need.

    Yes it's an addiction. Try to go out more often, even if it means being alone. Make exercise you can go for a run or to a gym. If you are a shy person I know this sounds scarier but you need to get out of your comfort zone.

    This will help you a lot, watch this and say goodbye to urges forever

    https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/if-youre-struggling.232140/

    But however urges are sometimes attacking even if you are focused on something else, when i got rid of those 1% foods which increases urges and started enjoying 99% other beautiful foods it became so much easyer for me ^_^
