    So since the quarantine (15 march) started the longest streak i've gone on was 4 days and i seriously can't take it anymore And what is worse is since i finished my exams (had exams online where i live)9 days ago i have at least masturbated twice a day with one day that i masturbated 5 times

    I can't go out of my house obviously and there is literally nothing to do in the house i can't play games on my pc , nothing good on the tv even exercising still doesn't stop the urge

    I don't know what to do and i am starting to think about giving up but i am here for a last hope that some of the kind hearted people on this forum may help me.

    If you have any kind of advice please do tell me (i tried meditation i may be doing something wrong but it's not really helping)Thank you very much for reading

    No matter where you live you can go for a walk. You have to get out of your house and get some fresh air (even if it’s through a mask) humans are not designed to be cooped up for months on end.

    Hey brotha. We never give up on here. You have to realize this one thing: you must view yourself as separate from the mind. Meaning, anything the mind does or says, do not associate with it. I learned this from a very wise man I worked with named Abi, he was a native of India. He studied and practiced eastern philosophy most of his life. Anyways, he always told me that in order to gain control of our lives, we must gain control of the mind. The best way to do that is to create that separation mentally, extremely important.

    Our minds have been programmed from years of pmo use. Programmed to always think sexually. Guess where those urges and thoughts are coming from? Yup, the mind. The mind is going to anything to get the dopamine its used to. Now, our job is not give these thoughts (from the mind) any of our attention. This is where we need a little willpower.

    Just something I wanted to share with you. I know it can be difficult to visualize this but with practice it gets easier. I just implemented this a couple weeks ago and it's helped so much.

    Always here if you need anything, never give up!

    I understand what you are going through. You have come a long way. Don't give up. Watch movies (don't watch the ones with nudity), if you have a personal goal, like getting a dream job or something like that, it may be a good time to focus on that. Try to get some productive output from your body, if you drain your energy doing something productive it will shift your focus from masturbation. I am sure you can find something productive to do at your house. Excercise works like a charm for me, try getting more exercise than you usually do, do it till the point you sweat. Hang in there. We are here to help.
