Look, my story is not short at all; yet I want to be brief and most specific I can. Ok, introducing myself. I'm just an ordinary man as everyone else. Never knew about masturbation; yet since I was about 11 or 12 years old I started doing this. It was a pleasurable and euphoric experience. In the beginning I didn't complain at all and I didn't take any care over the years. However, I started feeling kind of guilty because I think that masturbation has taken lot of time from me. Time I could be using for other productive things I have been wasting it on porn as an example; or hot women images.

I want to stop doing this for REAL; and I do it sometimes. However; anytime I tell myself "I WON'T MASTURBATE ANYMORE" I end up doing it one more time; and then I quit again; just to miserably do it again and fail. It's kind like an annoying vicious circle.

And the worst part is that I know that I have this masturbation addiction problem; but I end up watching porn and hot women images more and more frequently. I tried blocking pages, using filters, and it still seems that it doesn't work.

I really need help, I feel hopeless, I just want to become normal again... >

Can you work on moderation? There shouldn't be such extreme shame, beating yourself up but I agree that there is a limit on how much you should indulge.

Can you put up some kind of internet filter up?

There are also 12 step programs to address this; it might help. It may be worth a try. Sometimes talking with others in a non judgemental setting helps take the power away from obsessive thinking. Best of luck.

You have not mentioned how often you masturbate and whether you are married. However, you need not feel guilty. Masturbation is not evil but a wonderful way to satisfy your libido in the absence of a sexual partner. I feel that you only need a stronger resolve to give up this habit. Try engaging yourself in something worthwhile all the time. It is really easy to change for the better provided the desire to do it prevails over everything else. CHANGE IS ONLY A THOUGHT AWAY!

Maybe if you put yourself out there more often and find a significant other it will help you with this issue! You might not feel the need to self indulge so much if you have a woman that you can put time into a relationship with.

I started at about 18 years old masturbation! I was delivered from my porn addiction. I enjoyed it, basically, I was shamed out of doing porn addiction masturbation to porn later on starting ABOUT 2004 via online. Are you apart of some abusive religion that exploits people like yourself? Are you really trying to take the holy route? If the latter, visit a sex therapist to talk about porn addiction and masturbation. If you get in serious relationship or marriage you wouldn't want that to hinder your commit to your partner. Let me also say, I don't think there is anything wrong with masturbation if your sex life is also frequent. I need my private alone time in the past I'm not sure I would subscribe to that if I get into relationship or get marriage in the future.

A deep look on the inside to see what the core problem is would help the most. Sometimes masturbation is a symptom of a sex addiction. A 12 step program would help. Also is it love or lust?
