    I'm a 16 year old guy and i masturbate almost every day. I am not socially awkward and i can make perfect conversations with people around me (including girls). After i masturbate, i keep getting a feeling that i am doing something wrong (it could be my religious beliefs). But religion aside, i tried to stop masturbating a couple of times before and failed. The one reason that keeps making me fail is not having a reason to stop masturbating. I googled whether masturbating is bad for health but i got no answer supporting my question. But then i keep thinking about why NoFap has millions who people who are active everyday, wishing to and succeeding in trying to stop masturbating. I have almost stopped watching pornography because i know its bad morally and mentally and a couple of people told me to stop porn too but nobody made any comments on stopping masturbation. But then again, i get that bad feeling. I would like NoFap and its community to give valid reasons to stop masturbating, and if i find a proper reason, i swear to stop masturbating.

    Thanks.

    EDIT: Thank you guys so much for all the tips and reasons. I have officially stopped Masturbating and Watching Porn since the 10th of March. I hope you guys will be there to support me in my journey. Thanks :D

    well, try NoFap for 1 month and see if that statement of yours changed or not:D
    in my case. No PMO really makes me want to get married instead being alone

    Here's a million reasons pretty much.
    It will have negative effects on your development, it will start to lower the pleasure you get from other activities.
    You might not have too many negative effects YET. You should rephrase "is there any reason to quit" to "is masturbation worth it?"
    Is possibly negatively affecting yourself in the future worth it?

    So many of us wish we'd have seen this and quit at your age when it was still way more manageable honestly.
    And honestly I get it you're a teenager you might want a sexual outlet at moments where you cant get any.
    Yes no masturbation is best. But if you're going to masturbate don't do it to porn or even instagram or whatever. Just do it with your imagination instead.
    If you can't get the job done then the urge isn't strong enough anyway! And don't make it too much of a habit only on rare occasion.
    Quitting masturbation is good for you but what's way better is to quit looking at sexual stuff on the internet especially porn, that's the thing that does the most damage.

  6. I tell you a reason:
    Thats what I thought too, times and times in my life. And guess what: After 20 years of pmo I have to admit to myself, that I lied to myself and that despite some degree of professional success, I exactly am socially awkward and not attractive to girls and that I have completeley missed out the emotional and neurological developement part of my puberty. The loneliness is crippeling me.

    If you cant stop doing it, you are addicted. Back in your age I thought there are no harms being addicted to masturbation. But if it was only not being able to stop, that would be not big of a problem. The problem is, it slowly and very subtly becomes a habit , where you need it to regulate your emotions. Got a rejection? Good, masturbate. Someone didnt like your hairstyle? Good, masturbate. Someone dissed you and you didnt come up with a good response? Good, masturbate. If this method of compensating bad feelings happens only 30 % of the time, so what. But because in short term it is so effective, after a few years you do it 100 % of the time. You are bored for 5 minutes? Masturbate. You cant sleep? Masturbate. There was a attractive girl in the bus bus and you didnt talk to her? Masturbate later at home.

    My mind tricked me for 20 years that I dont have a reason. Even when I had chronic psychosomatic illness for the last ten years, I thought pmo was the only joy left in my life and not the cause for it.

    I guess, that by the things you say, although you sound like being in a harmless state of a masturbation habit, the urgency to stop is already existent, if not too late (but its its never too late to stop). Or else you wouldn't be here. Addiction is the devil in disguise, it tricks your brain to not be able to identify a worthy reason to stop while it takes more and more options away from you, which would have made stopping easier.

    Im not religious or a moral person at all. I just tell you from a point of view of life experience.

    Ooh buddy there almost unlimited reasons why you are better version of yourself without PMO.
    -Skin is more clean,less acne on face,better looking hair,shiny eyes,more energy,more witty,somehow for some reason people respect you more,your standards to be happy are lowered(easier to become happy because of balanced dopamine levels)it is harder to become tired,better sleeping,relief from PIED... etc
    You have to find your reasons to do nofap buddy.

    How many days of NoFap did it take for you to get proper sleep? I really feel tired in the morning even if i get 9 hours of sleep.

    To prove you are the master of your mind and you do not need to act passively for whatever your brain is programmed you to do.

    Consider yourself lucky AF to realize this at the age of 16.

    If i could rewind back to that age (where i too was masturbating daily) with this realization, I definitely would’ve fucked a lot of girls in school.

    Now of course, looking back, that really doesn’t matter. But after this addiction haunting me until the age of 22, it has resulted in me still being a virgin, and experiencing humiliation when trying to have sex with a girl (but couldn’t, due to PIED)

    You’re young. Don’t let the other dumb cool “bros” in school tell you that it’s cool to jack off to porn.

    You definitely want to experience the real shit. Real altercation with women. Something i’m still striving towards this year...

    You can't see things clearly if you're masturbating and / or using porn. You need to stop for long enough to get back to your natural, baseline state of being. Then you will understand, without any possibility of doubt.

    I've wasted probably half of my life because of porn, masturbation and fantasy. If I hadn't short-circuited my sexuality by masturbation, I could have either had lots of real sex with the women who generously offered me the opportunity (looking back, I am realising how many opportunities I missed), or pursued the spiritual path. Instead, I failed at both until my 40s. Finally life is good. Don't wait 30 years to work it out.

    You don't need reasons if you're here. You know that you are just using this as an excuse for your relapse. Confront the problem, and you will grow immeasurably mentally.
