Help On How To Stop Self Service by Amastermovic(m): 5:07pm On Feb 26, 2015
The post is long but it worth reading if it's off use to u....
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. 1 2 3 4 5 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: 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. 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. 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. 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.
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. Make a plan for avoiding
masturbation during your "go to" times of
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. If you always
masturbate when you get home from
school, make sure to have a solid plan to
stave off any boredom you may feel. 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. If you're tempted to
masturbate in the morning, try to sleep
with more than just one layer of clothing
so touching yourself is more of an effort.
Limit your solitude. If you masturbate
frequently because you feel lonely, find
ways to be as socially engaged as
possible. This means that you should join
as many clubs or activities as you can,
accept and give more invitations to
people, and go out of your way to make
more friends. If you want to date
someone, consider asking a friend to set
you up or join an online dating site.
Another thing you can do is to limit the
times when you are likely to be home
alone. If you tend to masturbate in the
hour or two before your parents get home
from work, go for a walk during that time,
or do your homework in a coffee shop.
Even if all of your friends are busy, you
can still limit your impulse to masturbate
by going out in public. For instance,
instead of watching the game 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. Stop watching
porn on your computer. One of the
reasons you may be masturbating so
much is that you know that you can
access porn within seconds if you want
to. However, if you don't have the
willpower to stop looking at the porn on
your own, then you may have to take
other measures to get the job done:
Consider installing porn-blocking software
on your computer. Of course you will
know the password to bypass the blocking
function, but just having it pop up will
remind you of your priorities. You can
also type a random password in a text
file, copy and paste it when you enter
your password and verify it, then delete
the text file. Then, you will not be able to
know the password of your own porn-
blocker. This is the best way to keep you
strong and spare you the struggle. If you
have the tendency to masturbate looking
at porn on the computer, try moving your
computer into a room where others can
see you. If you have a physical collection
of porn, dispose of it ASAP. Get Help.
Porn addiction apps such as Brainbuddy
are designed to rewire your brain so you
crave real connection instead of porn. Be
persistent and patient. Stopping a
masturbation addiction won't hit you like
a lightning bolt. 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. Set up a reward system. Bribe
yourself to stay on-track with rewards for
good behavior. For instance, if you can go
two whole weeks without masturbating
once, treat yourself to a small indulgence
like a new game or an ice cream cone.
Reward systems are great; just make sure
not to reward yourself with the very thing
you're trying to conquer, which, in this
case, is masturbating. If you say that
you'll reward yourself with masturbation
after a week of not doing it, then you'll
only be turning masturbation into
something that you really, really want
even more. Part One of Two: Staying Busy
and Focused 1 2 3 4 Ad 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. 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. [1] 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. 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 and
moral, 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. Here are some things that
masturbation will not do to your body:
Masturbation will not cause infertility,
premature ejaculation, or impotence.
Masturbation will not cause insanity.
Masturbation will not cause blindness, or
even eye floaters. Masturbation will not
cause frequent urination. 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. Maybe your goal isn't to
stop masturbating completely, but just to
limit your masturbation to a healthy
amount, such as once or twice a day.
That's perfectly fine, too. If you have the
belief that you really can win this battle,
you'll be much more likely to succeed
than if you're constantly second-guessing
yourself. 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. 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. 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're bound 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.
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. Part Two of Two: Getting in
the Right Mindset Take your mind off it
with (non-sexual) music. Set tiny goals
for yourself, start with going 3 days clean,
the third day is the speed bump, get past
that and you KNOW that you're
committed. Then go a week, then 10 days,
then two weeks, then 17 days, etc. Do
exercise daily in the evening, this will
make you tired at night. And since
masturbation is often done at night, so
when you are exhausted, you will give
preference to sleep not to masturbation.
Avoid sitting on your bed. Use a table/
chair, and always sit with other people.
When the urge is very intense take a cold
shower! It is not only shown to calm the
mind but have many other benefits to
overall health and energy. Think about
your family or anyone else and if they
were watching you. When you feel the
need to masturbate, take a brisk walk or
jog. Always try to occupy yourself when
the urge arises. Exercise more and get out
of the house. This is a great way to take
your mind off everything. Try fasting.
Abstain from food or drink in a few hours
everyday can distract your mind from
sexual urge. Fasting will also act as a
diet from stimulating food or drink for a
certain period. If you do it regularly you
will have better control upon your urge. If
you come upon a certain thought, urge, or
your lustful thoughts come into your
mind, immediately think about a different
topic such as baseball, football, etc.
Cultivate pure thoughts by reading holy
books like Bhagavad Gita, Bible, Holy
Quran etc. before going to bed. If you
have a problem with masturbating in the
shower, set a short timer and try getting
out before that timer goes off. Consider
the long term effects of your
masturbation. Develop healthy habits and
love the feeling of daily success. It's
easier to stop if you are in relationship
where your partner can help you in it. For
example, spend time watching movie,
going for shopping or even going for
sports with your partner. This ensures
that the urges are no longer there and you
will eventually forget about it. Add Tips
Some video games, films, and even books
contain sexual material, such as sexually
attractive characters or sexual activity
(kissing, making out or even making love).
So if you play video games to distract the
need, be careful! Remember that members
of the clergy and medical professionals
are human and susceptible to error, too. If
you ask someone for help and he or she
suggests a remedy you find highly
uncomfortable, seek a second opinion
