Hello. Sometimes there is a conflict between our mind and our body. There are times when satisfying our body means dissatisfying our mind. For instance, if you masturbate or sleep with a girl, you satisfy your body, but you will hurt because you have broken your principles.

I'll try to give you some practical advice based on my own experience.

First, do team sports, join a club, go jogging. Also, go to a dance club to learn afro-latin dances. Knowing how to dance with a partner is very important and useful for a man at any age.

Try to spend as much time as you can in nature - for instance, climb mountains and go for walks.

Do something you really like - such as a hobby.

What I'm going to say now is very important and 100% based on my own experience. Avoid any thought or activity related to sex or porn. If you are tempted to look at a girl on the street, look at her eyes, not other parts of her body. This will get your mind away from masturbating or the PMO addiction (if you have it) and, equally important, it will help you to have wet dreams at night. Make sure that your feet aren't cold during the night - if your feet aren't warm enough you may not have a wet dream. Wet dreams are very important, because they help us to release sexual pressure. If you can't have wet dreams you can masturbate, but only when you feel physical discomfort because of the accumulated semen. Also, you mustn't masturbate more than once. Masturbating only once is enough to release the excess energy.

There are people that have no physical discomfort even when they abstain from sex for long periods of time. These people mustn't masturbate because they don't need to masturbate: their body recycles the excess semen.

Also, stay away from movies or shows containing sexual images.

 

@tearsintherain72 What I was trying to say is you can fap only if there is no other way to release excess semen. Even if a man abstains from sex and masturbation, his body will continue to produce semen. Excess semen is reabsorbed into the body or released by means of wet dreams. But sometimes we feel a physical discomfort if the excess semen is not entirely reabsorbed or if we don't have wet dreams. Because our body produces semen all the time, pressure will build up. So the only way to release excess semen is through masturbation. You will just masturbate once, to release excess semen and get rid of the physical discomfort. In this case masturbation is not for pleasure (which may lead you to PMO addiction), but from necessity.
