    Hey guys, I've been in this fight for a bit now. Almost a year of really fighting PMO addiction. However, as of late, my addiction has really shaped into a plain masturbation addiction. It's been almost 2 weeks since I've looked at porn actually, but since then I've also masturbated around 4-5 times. It's really, really hard for me to fight. It almost always happens when I am taking a shower. I suddenly just get a very strong urge to masturbate and it seems impossible to fight. I've tried taking cold showers, but I always seem to fail at that within a day or two. Please help guys. This has been so hard for me to fight. Any advice, help, or encouragement would be great.

    Perhaps plan your shower before hand - I'm going to get in, then wash my hair, wash my body, and get out. It should take 4 minutes. Time yourself with a song you like that's about that time. Then, when you achieve the goal, reward yourself for not masturbating, i.e. play a video game you like, read something you enjoy, eat a small snack with flavors you like.

    If your urge is during a shower...Then divert your mind by listening to some songs you like(it shouldn't be too heavy) maybe a melodious one and also an emotional one!!
    All the very best mate!!...Keep going

    If you want a little accountability followup, post in the next 24-48 hours to let us know how it went. If it doesn't work, perhaps we can come up with another plan.

    There were situations in my life when I realized I need help. Otherwise I would have been lost. And these moments of complete helplessness were milestones in my life. Me, not religious at all, prayed for help. I did not know to whom I should send my prayer - but I humbly asked for help. And guess what? In each of these situations the help came immediately. Some kind of magic. Try everthing you want to try, and if nothing works - pray. :) When it comes deep from your heart - help will be there. Good luck on your No-PMO-journey.

    This reminds me of Futurama's episode. Ask for help and you just might get it. I've kept praying for help, and each time I get a book, a new podcast, someone encouraging me. I've been grateful.

    I've now used the timed shower technique twice, and it has really helped a lot! Thanks so much for that advice.
