    is it okay to quit porn and still masterbate? Has anyone done that? Or been successful? I was thinking of quitting porn, and just matsterbate when the urges for a sexual release are strong, because I have no girlfriend and I'm waiting until I get married to have sex.
     
  2. The only thing that matters is: you feel addicted to M? Why ist M so important to you? I guess you are addicted to P and M as well. Getting rid of addiction might be a challenge - will not be easy but worth the effort. And I am sure to get rid of P-addiction it will help very much to avoid M as well.

    I think not.You are addicted to both.If you quit Porn only then one day you will go back to it and next thing you know you will be addicted once again.Quit them both there is no easy way out.If you Masturbate when the urges come then you will most likely do it every day.The journey will be difficult at first but the effort will be worth it

    True, when I stop watching porn I do masterbate a lot
     
  5. How long can you abstain from masturbation


    False beliefs about masturbation
    For how long can a person abstain from sex and masturbation?
    So many people who try to quit porn and masturbation usually ask that question. Now before answering that question we need to examine the belief or the set of beliefs that led to that question in the first place.

    Most people who ask that question have few false beliefs about their bodies such as:

    • 1) Sexual frustration builds up day by day
    • 2) Sexual force needs to be released
    • 3) If i don't masturbate my sexual frustration will increase
    of course additional beliefs can lead to the same question but in most cases those beliefs will be very similar to the ones above.

    I spoke previously in many of my articles and i explained that they can be the number one reason a person can't break a certain habit.

    The society, the people around you, your friends and even some internet articles might have mistakenly convinced you that sexual force is stored in some kind of a gauge and that this gauge must be emptied when it gets full.

    This is not just a false belief but its actually the opposite of what happens in real life.i explained how masturbation can actually increase your sexual frustration as it can motivate you to have real sex where as you don't have a chance.

    Sexual desire goes up and down
    Try to record your sexual desire on any given day and give it a number from 1 to 10 based on the strength of the desire. Now keep doing this for days without watching porn or masturbating and you will realize that your sexual desire fluctuates widely.

    On one day you might find your desire level 9 or 10 then on another day you might find it 1 or 2.
    Do you know what does this mean?

    It means that there is no gauge that gets filled but it's more of different states that you go through on different days.

    i said that once you masturbate or watch porn you create a strong association in your brain between porn and pleasure and as a result you will feel more like doing those bad habits.

    In other words masturbation is the thing that causes the real frustration and not abstaining. There are so many people who abstained for years with no problems at all but the reason this urban myth about sexual frustration is so popular is that those people are the minority.

    You can go as long as you want
    Your body knows exactly what's right for you and this is why it regulates your body chemicals when you go to sleep. When your body realizes that you need to get rid of some sexual energy it will use dreams or wet dreams to regulate the matter without your intervention.

    In other words your body was designed to have no problems with long term abstinence and the reason you find it very hard to quit are the wrong set of beliefs you acquired about that matter.

    In short you can go on for years and years without doing any sexual activity and you will be perfectly healthy.

    Interesting quote, because I was thinking that without a having a form of sexual release, how must we survive
     
  8. I am saying this to my self also, trust me on this. masturbating and wanting a girl friend, is like saying you want to lose weight, but go to dairy queen, like me, and eat ice cream...not gonna happen.
    but do you really want a girl friend? nothing wrong with masturbation, what do YOU really want. but if you want a girl friend. your gonna have to sacrifice...and more then not masturbation...that is what friendship is about. sacrifise, now if we can not sacrifice masturbation, how can we sacrifice bigger thing...or time...ect...trying to meet some one in place of watching porn.

    A therapist I saw seemed to think the bad part was the "fake girls", "fake scenes" and the constant high from clicking the screen and a new girl shows up
    For me I'm eliminating the porn only. This way I can focus on my girl and an actual sexual attraction again to a body, not a screen
    M is totally natural! I feel and if I can do it using my imagination at my really tough times and no porn all the better. If she's around I will go to her first
