    Any thoughts of this extreme measure?

    If you have to hurt your body that much to stop masturbating then you are a weak person without any trace of will power.

    What about cutting your both hands? That should help as well :emoji_sweat_smile::emoji_laughing:

    SSRIs will do this. Supplemented by naltrexone will help as well. It is not chemical castration, per se, but it will certainly reduce urges. However, it will also fail if you use them as a crutch and do not put forth any effort yourself.

    If you have certain time constraints or have found the addiction too strong, certainly extreme measures are warranted. Of course, you should definitely start off by putting blockers on your devices or something, but if you need to do this, then by all means.

    Those who would ridicule you for it shouldn’t mean anything to you. If you manage to quit porn using drugs while they are still addicted, it seems to me you won that game.

    That's retarded. Why even try to not masturbate? wouldn't chemical-castration cause the same problem as too much PMO?

    I was reading some links on Brahmacharya, or complete celibacy and avoidance of sexual thought. The links and content were from Hindu gurus who had stopped sexual thinking for many years and were free from it.

    One piece I was reading stood out, one of the authors/gurus was emphasizing that the only way was through mental exercise and mastering our thoughts. He made the point by chastising and pointing out that those who thought they could liberate themselves from sexual thought by castrating themselves are a poor lot, because they will find that their sexual desires don't spring from their genitals, but from their minds, so now they have mutilated themselves, but still haven't over-come their sexual desires.

    Sorry mate, there's no shortcut or easy way out.
     
  8. If you lock an alcoholic in a room without any alcohol, you haven't cured his alcoholism even though he's not drinking while locked up. Once you let him out, he'll head straight to a booze cabinet and continue drinking again.
    Rather poor analogy, I admit, but the idea here is the same. Even if you handcuff your hands behind your back, you would still be dreaming of masturbation, and return your habits the moment someone releases your hands. This addiction is psychological in nature and with physical restrictions but without willpower you end up being a chronic masturbator which is just temporarily unable to masturbate. Just like that alcoholic when locked up in a room.

    This is just my own experience, but in my opinion all physical restrictions, whether it being porn blocker, handcuffs, chemical castration or whatever, just inhibits oneself from learning his mistakes and building ones willpower. Yes, you can use porn blocker as an aid in the beginning if it helps, but you can't rely on them, because someday your addicted brain finds a way to cheat and circumvent those artificial blocks. And when that happens, your willpower is your last and only line of defense.

    To OP; I don't believe your situation is anyway near that bad that you have to seriously consider as drastic measures as chemical castration, but if you feel like it is, I suggest to book some psychiatric sessions and let some sexual behavior expert help you to deal those issues that causes your excessive masturbation in the first place.

    I have been thinking about ripping my eyes off so I stop watching porn. Any opinions on the matter?

    Way way way overkill. Chemical castration is used against sexual criminals isn't it? If its not you, then don't consider that extreme measure.

    In actuality, a chemical form of "castration" needs not be as extreme as it sounds or even permanently damaging to the testicles in the same way that physical castration would be. There are all sorts of medications whose side effects are decreased sex drive - this is usually a negative thing for those not wanting this side effect, but this can be quite a positive thing for someone seeking such relief. Sometimes such medicine has a primary use of alleviating depression as well. So if one is suffering from such symptoms also, such medication might have a double benefit. It takes a visit to a Psychiatrist who would well understand ones concern to live a more normal life by decreasing one's sex drive. One's regular psychologist might also make a referral to an experienced psychiatrist in this specific area as well. Then, the doctor would have some insight on which type of medicine(s) might suit the candidate and would gradually introduce the medicine, and gradually increasing as necessary to achieve the desired optimal, positive effect with the patient. That sort of thing.

    bro. if there is a very strong desire to masturbate it means your body has a lot of energy, so feel good about it, albeit at wrong place you just have to change the form of energy. what i suggest is to do hard to very hard exercise whenever there are urges to masturbate, get yourself dead tired which will be a win win situation as it will stop masturbation and will improve your health.
