The cons of ADDICTION to Masturbation are detrimental to the body, Spirit and Soul.

How to Stop it?

It Starts from the mind(Soul), hence the battle is fought and won in the mind.

Some posters Above have given you the No1 key to Annahilate the ADDICTION which is pray to God...starve the desire with God's Word. "Flee sexual Immortality"

[b]No2: See Wanking your self as a gay act...
I'd presume you abhor Homosexuality
So why Engage in the Act with yourself?[b/]

hello everyone...

I am a 26 yr old guy, and i'm not writing this thread in a bid to get any attention, but rather because its actually happening to me, and i have tried my best in so many ways to over-come this nasty addiction that has been eating at me for years....

I started masturbating at the age of 14, a habit that i picked up from a fellow student in boarding school. The habit actually started-off as a fun thing, but as i grew older, it started getting worse, worse in the sense that i moved from jerking off once a day to several times daily.

This has been going on since i was 14, but it never gave me any real concern because i was so young and naive, and also because i enjoyed it, and it never did cost me anything, unlike gambling, or smoking, or alcoholism, until i became 21.

At 21, I started noticing that my addiction was affecting my sexuality in more ways than i can count, it was even interfering with my sleep patterns. Infact the addiction became far more difficult to control, because i now had the internet at my disposal and also an extra addiction to porn which tripled my problem.

I have fasted and prayed, i have even put shame away and discussed it with a pastor, i have also tried out different rehabilitation programmes i found on youtube. But yet, i cannot seem to keep my hand away from my manliness.

I am confused, and in desperate need of help, because i cannot keep living this way.

Will appreciate any advice i can get.

thanks

DM me... Lets talk. Its very important.

op I can't drop my email or number here on Nairaland but sha tweet at me @taz_23k so I could provide you my number I'll love to tell you somthings about this issue. most ppl here don't really understand.

it's a phase most people go through...90% of male and female...get a galfrnd dah u will b fucking
and reduce it from 5tyms to 4 to 3......and make a pact wit God

All ya telling him to get a girl friend as if she would be there for him at all times. That's not a permanentsolution... The best solution is having tight schedules and cutting the urge by resisting sexual related pics and topic.. When I knew what addicted masturbators suffer is when I decide to count how many sexual stuff we see everyday. From work to internet to music to videos all are covered with Sexuality so the best is avoid them and have tight schedules... MASTURBATION WILL DIE A NATURAL DEATH.

And also, masturbation and sex is number one killer of spiritual strength. Both don't tally at all

Jonbeezy:

quite a nice tip....but he will definitely run back to it once the Internet comes back to his palms. it is a psychological thing...i have studied the trend and understand the workings behind it. it is pretty difficult avoiding Internet these days remember?? it is now part of us. i bet you cannot advise him to stop coming to Nairaland too...because you cannot view the threads here if you do no have an Internet access.
it is one stubborn habit one cannot fight off completely but gradually,it is segmental, break it down and fight the bits . then you will have a hold over it.
i like your last line....getting really busy is a plus.

Jon breezy and any sound contributions would be appreciated, please i need ur help, Am having erection issues and it's about to ruin ma relationship, it all started when i was in secondary school being above 6ft and cute attracted so many female folks into ma life, i was very careful about sex and rarely engaged on sexual activities dunno really but as time went on advises from family members especially ma aunty and mum made be abstain from sexual activities including d fact i saw them as cheap cos they were always flocking around, Wanted to be focused so i abstained and built up ma career, later on I went into 2 relationships which they told me sex abstinence was to be d other I agreed cos I loved the virtue I saw and sex wasn't ma thing from the on set these relationships went on for a while and i found out they were banging guys around(both relationships) back to back .... This pushed me into masturbation as i didn't want to involve in promiscuity now it's been 8years down d line am really to settle down but sadly am experiencing erectile issues can rarely get turned on by ladies, even when they stack naked... I think masturbation has done a lot of damage, please anyone with similar experience should kindly help, I love ma fiancee and am not ready to lose dis one all for a treatable condition. Thanks.

amidst all the advices being given... I will equally advice u to get a diary..or a calendar
keep tracks of the days u abstinate from the previous ones
on d days u fail. record ur triggers and time.. do it for like 2 weeks
then try aving a target of how long to abstinate and try improving in d days and long period...

thats my own piece

Slimzjoe:
Lol...you only believe you have a problem because society makes it appear so.

There's nothing wrong in you masturbating. You have the right to explore that aspect of sexuality to the apex. You'll get control over it with time and be able to decide when you jerk off without guilt. Gradually, it won't be a problem to you and die a natural death maybe or you'll realise it's the not the cos of your problems

OP has been at it for 12yrs (14 till 26) now and yu are saying with time. OK
