I would first of all like to tell you the advantages and disadvantages of masturbating do you are not too hard on yourself. Stop punishing yourself. Consider it this way: if you're constantly thinking of how bad you are for masturbating, you're still thinking about masturbation all the time. Instead, acknowledge that this has been a problem for you and work towards stopping the habit.



There are actually some health benefits to masturbation. Many times we forget that sexual health is a component of overall health.  

-In masturbating, a person learns how they like to be touched and can express this to a partner for more pleasurable sex 

-It's safer than sex with another person in that you don't have to worry about pregnancy or an STD

-Masturbation causes muscle relaxation and an overall calming affect afterwards. The release of endorphins causes feelings of physical and mental well-being so it also reduces stress. 

-Masturbation enhances self-esteem 

-It helps you fall asleep 



Here are some disadvantages to masturbating: 

-It can interfere with a relationship if you enjoy it so much that you forego sex with a partner to masturbate instead 

-Frequent rigorous masturbation without lubrication can cause scratches or cuts

- Frequent masturbation may lead to premature ejaculation during sexual intercourse 

-Anxiety and guilt over masturbation can lead to unhealthy opinions of sex and, ultimately, sexual disfunction 

-some people have been known to become addicted to masturbating.

I hope this information is helpful.



 Now to curb this habit;

Remove anything that tempts your urge to masturbate;

Pornographic material: If you have a collection and you're serious about quitting masturbation, you'll have to dispose it. Burn or shred paper, wipe your hard drive etc



Certain times of the day: If you have problems before going to bed or in the shower, refrain from any temptation to masturbate. For instance, if it's a problem late at night, drop to the floor and do push-ups until you're too exhausted to do anything but fall asleep. If you find shower time too tempting, start using ice cold water only — you won't want to be in there for long.



Boredom: If you have so little to do that your mind frequently wanders to sexual thoughts, occupy your schedule. You'll find it gets easier to avoid masturbation if you're too busy or tired to spare any energy for distractions.



Loneliness: If you masturbate frequently because you feel lonely, avoid being alone For instance, instead of watching a match at home by yourself, watch it at a sports bar. Even if you're not hanging out with friends, you will not be alone, ultimately having no time for masturbation.

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:





Get creative. Start writing, learn to play a musical instrument, paint, draw, or do whatever else makes you feel like you're doing something productive.



Do sports. It takes discipline and persistence to excel at a sport. Develop an interest like running or swimming, or a group sport like football, basketball, or tennis.



Eat healthy. Fruits and vegetables have healthy effects on the body and provide nutrients necessary to increase your energy to be more active throughout the day.



Be persistent and patient. Stopping a masturbation addiction won't happen overnight. It's a process that requires commitment, and you might make mistakes or relapse on occasions. The real struggle is persevering, so commit now that you won't let little mistakes stand in your way.





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. 



Ask your religious leader for guidance. consider asking your local clergy for help. Request a private appointment with your pastor, bishop, imam or other religious leader, and see if his or her advice can help you.



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.
