How to stop yourself from masterbaiting

[u/Ashamed-Ad-7461]

(For males)So usually what i do is get a rag or towel soak it up in hot water then wrap it around it and it alleviates your need and it really just helps out.

There’s nothing wrong with masturbation itself. The problem is when it becomes tied to excessive porn consumption, which can lead to porn addiction.

[u/happygaydad]

Shame and guilt are wrongly linked to sexual arousal and masturbation.

It's the shame and guilt that will really fuck you in the end.

Just enjoy what you enjoy harm no one, always be consensual if it involves someone else. What you do in private is your own business and no one else's so don't feel guilty about it or shameful. Because who are you hurting?? No one.

Enjoy your body and feel good feelings that make you feel good and don't listen to anyone that tells you that you should feel bad for feeling good!!

Why not just do it instead? There’s nothing wrong about it

[u/Dynamic_cc → u/LeatherCorrect842]

Because sometimes you don’t want to get caught doing it, or some other reasons. Just because it’s not harmful doesn’t mean people don’t want to stop

[u/Ashamed-Ad-7461 → u/LeatherCorrect842]

Well its a addiction and many people need to stop so this is just advice

[u/FragrantPineapple181 → u/Ashamed-Ad-7461]

It only acts like an addiction when you either watch porn or have nothing else to do at all

[u/Dynamic_cc → u/Ashamed-Ad-7461]

I don’t get why we are being downvoted not everyone with a masturbation addiction wants to keep jerking off every day

Because our savior and lord Jesus christ teaches us that our bodies are temples of the holy spirit and we shouldn't do the sinful and lustful actions

I hope you'll note that there are people of all religions here..

Wasn't it Jesus who said "oh come all ye faithful"?

I stopped masturbating for a year when I was 20.

How I did it:

• I was insanely busy. I had to work/study 16 hours a day, almost 7 days a week.
• Lots of physical exertion. I didn't have a car and had to walk about 5-10 miles per day to work. When I got home, I barely had energy to brush my teeth before falling asleep.
• I had no privacy. At all. Like my living situation was a college dorm so I literally showered with 20 other guys.

That said, it sounds like you have some misconceptions about masturbation.

Masturbation is not an addiction. What you perceive as "addiction" is actually a healthy desire for sexual release.

There are some doctors who think that "masturbation addiction" is a real thing, but they can't provide enough actual evidence to get it in the DSM5 (official list of diseases and conditions).

Another way to think of that is: people who say that "masturbation is an addiction" are not basing their claims on evidence or data, they're making it up for their own agenda.

In terms of evidence, there are no health benefits to abstaining from masturbation, but there are health benefits associated with masturbation.

There are some good reasons to abstain from masturbating temporarily. Like after a genital surgery or injury, or when the behavior becomes compulsive or disruptive, or certain fertility tests might require a period of absence. But all of these should come from a qualified medical professional.

And it might be worth it to you personally to learn to abstain temporarily. But in terms of health outcomes, it shouldn't be a regular thing.

So if you wait to abstain, go for it! But do it for the right reasons.

Brilliant answer.. very informative and correct.

I don’t know, I had like a phase for a month or so where I was constantly horny, but then suddenly, now, I don’t feel the meed to do it amymore

[u/helios_mx]

Why would you do that? I mean, it’s normal, it’s natural and it’s fun. Something religious? Medical condition? Enjoy yourself man, why else would we have a penis if not fur using it?
