Masturbation happens in every culture, across every period of history, and it’s the way most adolescents discover what they enjoy before embarking on
adult sexual relationships. However, if it’s becoming an obsession that inhibits other aspects of your life, or
you belong to a religion or philosophy that forbids masturbation, then it’s possible to curb the impulse, gather your self-discipline, and take control of your urges.

Part A: Staying Busy and Focused

Find another outlet for your time and energy. Fill your life with engaging activities. The excitement of doing
something different can help replace the urge to masturbate, and you’ll have a go-to distraction next time you're tempted. Try some of these options:
1) Be Creative . The process of turning sexual urges into creative output (called sublimation) is something on which monks and sages have relied upon for centuries. Start writing, learn to play a musical instrument, paint, draw, or do whatever else makes you feel like you’re doing something productive.
2) Play Sports . It takes discipline and persistence to excel at a sport. Develop an interest like running or swimming, or a group sport like soccer, football basketball, or tennis. Also, any form of exercise will help you relieve tension, feel happier, and to make you focus on your physicality in a positive way. Yoga is another form of exercise that can help you feel more
relaxed and less likely to feel the sudden urge to masturbate.
3) Eat a Healthy Diet. Fruits and vegetables have healthy effects on the body and provide nutrients necessary to increase your energy to make you more
active throughout the day.
4) Find a new hobby, or cultivate a skill . Learning something that takes a while to master can refocus your brain on the delayed gratification of achieving goals instead of the instant gratification of masturbation. Try skills like cooking, woodshop,archery, baking, public speaking, or
gardening.
5) Volunteer your time . Devote your energy to helping teens who’ve been less fortunate than you, such as working at a shelter, tutoring low-income students, cleaning up blighted areas, or raising money for a
good cause. You’ll get an altruistic feeling from helping
others, and you’ll have less time to stray from your goals.

Part B: Develop the right mindset.
Stop punishing yourself. Consider it this way: if you’re constantly dwelling on the disapproval that some may feel about masturbating, then you’re still thinking about
masturbation all the time. Don’t just trade in your masturbation addiction for another one — they’re so closely related that you won’t resolve anything. Instead, acknowledge that this has been a problem for you, but you will persevere to stop the impulse.
1) Remember, you’re human, and humans masturbate. Some studies show that up to 95% of males and 89% of females admit that they have masturbated. You’ll feel less shame once you realize you are not alone.
Resist the urge of sinking into despair by remembering the times spent feeling sorry for yourself when it could have been spent relinquishing your addiction.
2) Don’t believe the myths about the harms of masturbation. If you want to stop your masturbation addiction, then you should do it for reasons that are personal, moral and Godly, not for reasons that are health-related. The only real health problem that can be caused is pain and rawness from chronic masturbation, but that can go away if you stop touching yourself so frequently.

3) Know that it will get better. If you have the faith that you can really find a way to stop your masturbation addiction, then you’ll be able to do it. That being said, there may be days when you have relapses. If you find yourself masturbating one day when you planned not
to, don’t think, “Oh, well, I’ve ruined this day anyway,” and then continue compulsively masturbating for the rest of the day and then starting fresh the
next. This is about as logical as thinking that you should eat an entire pie because you’ve had one cookie and have ruined your diet for the day anyway.
4) Know when to seek help. If you’ve tried everything and just can’t seem to get your addiction under control, it might be time to tell someone else about your problem and ask for assistance. Don’t feel ashamed, and remember that many people have
similar problems like an addiction. Seeking help is a brave action, and most people you ask will see it as
such.
5) Ask your religious leader for guidance. If you belong to a church, consider asking your local clergy for help. Keep three things in mind: First, these people become part of the clergy because they’re dedicated to helping their congregations. Second, they’ve probably already assisted someone with a masturbation addiction before. Lastly, they’rebound by strict confidentiality.
Request a private appointment with your pastor, bishop, imam, rabbi, or other religious leader, and see if his or her advice can help you.
6) Make an appointment with a medical professional.
Counselors, psychologists and psychiatrists are all trained to help people with varying levels of addiction. Start by seeing a therapist in your area, who can assess your addiction and refer you to more specialized help if necessary. Several treatment options are available, from cognitive-behavior therapy to medication.
