Help me, I'm addicted!

Before I start, let me say that if a mod feels that this is too explicit, then by all means lock it, but tell me you're going to do so, please, because ideally I'd like some advice. OK, moving on...

Here's the problem: I'm addicted to something. No, not drugs or alcohol or stuff like that. The problem is that I'm addicted to masturbation. People often say that you can't be addicted to that, but you can. And it isn't nice.

Basically, it's gotten to the point where I have to do it 2 or 3 times every single day just to feel normal. I feel urged to do so when I'm waking up, or when I'm about to go to sleep, or any time where I'm stressed really. Even if I'm not particularly up for it, I'll sort of 'force' myself into doing it anyway. I realised that this probably wasn't a good habit to have, so I decided to try and cut it down a bit.

There's only one problem: if I go too long without masturbating, I end up feeling absolutely horrible afterwards. I can't concentrate on anything else, and I feel nauseous. What makes it even worse is that we have a lot of Vaseline, because of chapped lips I have from this medication I'm taking. And then I feel even worse. So what am I supposed to do to stop the habit?

Talking to my friends about it is NOT an option. Since we're all 16 years old, chances are it would spread around like wildfire, and I'd be totally and utterly humiliated. Talking to my family isn't an option either. They don't even know I do it. If I told them, it would be awkward forever, and they think that I'm being disgusting and stuff. I tried looking some stuff up online about it, but it didn't really help very much at all.

So yeah, what am I supposed to do? I can't think of any ways to get control of my life back again. How do I tackle this rather tough problem?

BTW, before anyone asks, I'm NOT addicted to porn as well.

You're 16. It's normal, don't worry about it. Testosterone will begin to cut back as you grow older, and you will soon find yourself being more and more.... "normal."

 

[CRASHiC]

So we should post pictures that make it to where you can't masterbait?

 

[Smith]

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool.

This pretty much. Don't worry about this kind of thing. Try to find some activity thats healthy to reduce your stress like excercise.

Also, can some of you people please don't take this as a joke. He most likely feels uncomfortable telling us this.

Yeah. I would imagine your need to masturbate has a lot to do with stress relief.

General question: What constitutes and unhealthy need to masturbate? How much is too much?

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

You're not addicted. Its normal. Just make sure you're smart about it and don't get a virus on your computer.

[Jam Stunna]

I'm inclined to leave this open, but if a superior tells me to lock it, then I will do so.

 

[Oracle]

Sex is boring.

You're just going to have to endure the horrible feeling afterwards, also known as a withdrawal. It's normal to have that when trying to quit something that you do a lot.

It's going to be hard, but one of the better ways is to find something to replace the gap it makes in your life; something that requires lots of time and attention

Whenever you feel the urge, go practice waveshining link in melee.

 

[Cherry64]

Hmm? addiction you say? I really like the question, how much is too much. My buddy does it maybe 6 times a day AND has sex. he thinks it's normal, I think he rubs till he bleeds but that has taught me for everyone it'll be different. I'll re-word that, some people will only feel the need to do it once a day, others may only feel the need to do it a few times a week, on Average a male will masterbate 20 times a week. this is true facks guys, cosmopoliton ftw

 

[mountain_tiger]

I've never played Melee... (though I realise you were probably joking).

The problem is that unless I'm sleeping or eating, it's constantly on my mind. Chewing my biro kinda helps, but it looks weird if you do that for too long...

Edit: And to the guy who said 'don't get a virus on your computer', I never watch porn any more.

If we take the 20 times a week to be true, than our friend the Mountain Tiger is completely within normal realms. The only problem I see is that he feels terrible if he can't/doesn't masturbate. You probably need something to occupy your time more. Start an addicting RPG, or something, though not an MMO, save yourself!

I disagree on the obvious troll is obvious.
I don't like it either that much. Its about as good as a really good massage.

 

[The Nameless Wanderer]

Well, based on my experience, you may need to get a girlfriend/boyfriend.

 

[Frown]

It will be gone in a few years. Is that too long?

 

[Cherry64]

really good massages are pretty good man. anyways point of this post is @ mountain Tiger, Porn is superb, it lets you getter done faster, WAY faster and way easier. there's like no reason for you to not make it easier on yourself? why spend 15-20 on something that could only take 5-10 TOPS

 

[mzink*]

Yea find something else to do to help you to relieve stress and tension and exercise your body every day cuz that will help you to relax a lot more. Keep yourself distracted and busy so the uncomfortable feeling you get isn't your main focus.

But otherwise don't worry too much, you're an adolescent male, its normal.

 

[DanGR]

Invite people over to your house more often. I really doubt you'll do it if you've got friends over all the time. >_>

 

[Delta-cod]

Unless they all do it together.

Jokes aside, it's most likely true. If you spend more time around other people you'll have less of an urge to do it more, and if you do get the urge, you won't do it anyways.

 

[Jam Stunna]

Discussions of pornography are off-limits.

 

[Teran]

Stress relief, boredom relief, and well... being 16.
That sounds like the 3 causes behind it. If you ask me, 2-3 times a day isn't even that much.

There was some poor sap in my form who would need to do it like 5+ times a day.
Don't worry though, by the time you're 18 you'll be doing it less often than daily.

 

[Sosuke]

Ok, I'm going to be serious now.

Work out. A lot.
^_^b

 

[mountain_tiger]

I'll give that a try. Though the thing is whenever I try and text them about anything they never reply. I'm not sure if they just haven't got their phone switched on or if they're deliberately ignoring me.

 

[Clownbot]

I have a similar problem.

The funny thing is, most people would probably see a person with this problem as a sheltered, skinny, white shut-in, but I like hanging out and talking with friends. It doesn't affect my daily/social life at all, for the most part.

Anyway, you'll probably grow out of it.

Well, tbh I am a bit of a 'shut-in' as it were, but that's mainly because I'm shy and used to get beaten up and stuff...

 

[j0s3ph]

Okay, here's what you do: Don't fap December. It's a yearly thing, you don't masturbate for the whole month of December. Last year, I found I didn't want to fap at all after the month was over. It was weird.

 

[Phantomwake]

I would recommend a sport, it is healthy and can put your concentration somewhere else.

Or you could learn to play a new instrument like guitar or drumset,

I also like the idea of finding a game you can play without company that can consume time.

Also I imagine that much of your free time is from being on summer break and that when school starts again you will also have more to occupy yourself with.

 

[Teran]

Another way is to stop having naughty fantasies.

 

[OFY]

There is nothing wrong with being addicted to masturbation.

Also it helps reduce/prevent prostate cancer.


and it is very natural to be addicted to this considering the type of society the U.S. has, if that is where you are from. Which you aren't rofl.


Also Fap Free February, **** was NOT cash

 

[TheSundanceKid]

Maybe you should pick up another addiction. How about drinking? But if that fails, wear Tater Mitts.

 

[Teran]

My eyes watered at the thought of this.

 

[RyuReiatsu]

Hm... I had a similar problem to you from 13 to 14/15. I had to absolutely do it 3 times a day, otherwise I'd feel sick and all that kinda stuff. At first, I tried depriving myself of this. Which didn't work out well because after a whole week of quitting, I did it like 6 times in a whole day, only during a single day. But you get the picture, I went mad tired and stuff.

I'd strongly suggest doing exercise as everybody has said so far. Because that's how I've started doing it less and less often. I went down to 2 times a day and with the time... I do it only once a day. And that's not even because of the urge... I can't find a way to sleep early other than that .

You might grow out of it, but do exercise. A LOT of exercise. Pushups, situps, run in the morning, etc. It'll help you a lot.

So we should post pictures that make it to where you can't masterbait?

Sex is boring.

LOOOL.

Addiction is always bad ... Everything with moderation is better.

 

[Kawaii Poyo]

Do you masturbate in the bathroom at tourneys?

 

[RyuReiatsu]

Do you masturbate in the bathroom at tourneys?

Don't tell me you do?

 

[SOVAman]

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

Wow. You managed to make me lol and cringe at the exact same time.

 

[momochuu]

What the ****

 

[REL38]

Not gonna lie, this is gonna give me nightmares even though I lol'd

 

[OFY]

This kind of addiction isn't really bad for your health and I think some statistics show that since porn has been introduced, **** percentage has gone down.

You will grow out of masturbation once you find a partner, but it will start up again if she gets pregnant.
