it is not wrong, it is natural ... someone telling you it is wrong is wrong ...

I have not masturbated for 6 days now and I plan to extend the period(I have so many temptations that make me want to masturbate). But if you want to stop, try not to stay alone in your room. If I am lonely I am tempted to play with my self. Try spending most of your time with people or somewhere besides your room. And don't ever go on the internet and search for pictures of naked people because then you'll tend to masturbate. Also, try not to rub your 'dude'. Try to keep your mind off of masturbating and focus on what is currently happening in your life. It is very hard for me to stop masturbating because every girl in my neighbor hood are tempting. To those other people: I am a Catholic, however, I still think it is wrong to masturbate. True, you're not hurting anyone but you're hurting your mind by placing sick stuff inside of it.

But what I am trying to say is to spend less time alone and stay away from inappropriate websites or girls.

It's all a matter of will power, it's all in your head. You have to truly believe that you will stop masturbating. Use cognitive techniques to tackle any thoughts you have about masturbating.

You say masturbating is wrong. How is it wrong? If you are saying it is wrong because of Christianity then that is flawed reasoning. However if you yourself believe that you don't like the idea of masturbating regardless of religion then okay. Masturbation isn't morally wrong (well depending on the circumstances) i.e. as long as no one is hurt by the masturbation it's fine. Maybe you don't like the idea of being addicted to something or perhaps you don't like effectively wasting sperm?

At any rate, the only way to quit is to simply quit. Do or do not it is as simple as that.

Masturbating isn't wrong. It's actually healthy and if you don't masturbate, your body will just do it for you; hence, "wet dreams." You produce new sperm daily, your body has to get rid of it somehow. Especially at your age and hormones, you pretty much can't help it.

There's no way to stop besides just stopping. If you masturbate under the covers, God won't know.

its not wrong.. its healthy. im a full christian too and do it. i have a very close relationship with god. but if you reeealy want to stop just keep your hands occupied, keep busy doing things and looking at pictures from your childhood. just dont think about it!

meeee

Ok no offense to whoever told you this. masturbating is NOT wrong its natural. God intended us to do it...so we do. 100% fine. so keep on doing it! but if you must know how to stop just think of something gross when you get a stiffy. like naked men, unless ur gay then naked women

its a biological urge. Especially as a teen you got hormone changes

if you want to try though its a matter of will power and distracting yourself, hobbies are important, the more you keep your mind occupied the less likely you will to do it

It's not wrong. But if you want to stop something (something that's completely normal) the njust stop. Whenever you feel like you want to, just read a book or go running or do something that will occupy time.

If you're christian you should Google 'what God thinks of masturbation' or something. YOu'd know that the Bible says to cleanse anything that has the fluid on it and that it's not wrong.

The surest way to stop masturbating is to get someone else to perform oral sex on you twice a day. That way you will not want to masturbate. Trust me, it works.

Try a good excercise regimen. Burn off all the excess energy doing something productive.

Get a girlfriend, that will help a lot too of course.

why should religion affect your lifestyle and activities? what, is being gay bad too? cuz your not supposed to hate anybody

If god didn't want you to masturbate he wouldn't have made your arms long enough to reach your penis.

assuming of course there is a god.

Don't let anyone tell you it's wrong, you don't need help with something this healthy.

Hobbies, occupate your time. And sleep while wearing something

Don't touch even don't allow any one to touch ur unit. I think this will help.

God is all forgiving, remember? So whack off til your hearts content, and repent later.

just stop
