How to stop masturbating

Not watching pornography is a really great accomplishment. Most of the guys here struggle with that. So tell me, how did you gain success in beating addiction to pornography? Surely, whatever you did will help you deal with the rest of it.

 

You are asking the right question pal.
Now you need to really think, and use/develop wisdom to find a way.

Most people keep trying the ways that helped others, and don’t find great success there.
So it’s best to find your own ways. Your originality will take you all the way to the other end.

Good luck!
Stay aware

 

I've been through this. I was solely addicted to masturbation for a long time before I linked it up to porn. And I found the stuff I was fantasizing a lot worse than the stuff I watched in porn. But like IGY said, not watching porn means that you're a lot better off than the most of us (well, at least you're a lot better off than I am).

I don't have much advice. All I can tell you to do is to make a firm decision with 100% of yourself wanting to quit masturbation. Don't overprioritize quitting masturbation; if you keep worrying about it, you'll end up doing it. And don't hate yourself for masturbating it just makes quitting harder and makes you sad. Just live your life and try to stay happy, you'll be fine. I hope I could help. Good luck!

 

Imagine for a moment that you’re very angry and upset about something. And in the middle of arguing and about to fight someone, I called you on the phone. And said, “Hey buddy! I got good news for you! You just won 10 millions $$$!!!!!”

You will immediately stop fighting and start smiling and jump up with joy and excitement. You might even rush to hug the person you’re fighting! Does this mean that you’re no longer a hot-tempered person? No, not at all. You’re still the same old you. But in that moment, there is something greater: the joy or thought of having 10 millions overtook you.

Now if I called you the second time and told you that it was a joke, you would be even more furious.

What’s the lesson here? You need something greater outside of you to suppress the urge to M. The urge and desire will always be there. You can not kill it. That’s why people relapsed because desire and urge is part of you.

For me, as a Christian, the love of God He has shown to me in Christ Jesus and the Gospel is what compel me to move forward. It is this Gospel that helps suppressed the urge and desire. This Gospel worth more than 10 millions.

You need something really big (something eternal and not temporary), be it a dream, desire , goal in life, whatever it is, to overtake your desire to PMO.

 

That is quite a problem. You may not be using a screen but you are using what you have seen on screens to masturbate to. Hmm. You have to give your instant sexual gratification a rest bro. That is the basic principle of doing this challenge. You might not be watching porn, but you are continuing the addiction by other means. Your goal is to cut fantasies and to leave your dick alone. We have all struggled with this, but it is the only pathway to freedom from slavery to this nightmare.

My own journey is going well at the moment thanks.

 

Sure. But you cannot use all these ideas at once. Pick just a few that would make a difference and start there.

Keep yourself busy, delete Instagram, drink water, stop counting your days.

 

Talk to yourself to the point that you become disgusted by P and you'll never want to PMO again

 

How Do you face it?
