Stop Masturbating

---

Have you ever tried to stop masturbating or tried to hold off. I was just wondering whats the longest people have gone without wanking. I started March 23 and haven't wanked since.That's 14 days so far.

firstly YAY (i think ) for the 14 days!
Can i ask why your doing it???

i agree, wouldnt be able to live 14 days without masturbating!!! EWWW D:

i found this on the internet:A Guide to Self-Control:1. Never touch the intimate parts of your body except during normal toilet processes.2. Avoid being alone as much as possible. Find good company and stay in this good company.3. If you are associated with other persons having this same problem, YOU MUST BREAK OFF THEIR FRIENDSHIP. Never associate with other people having the same weakness. Don't suppose that two of you will quit together, you never will. You must get away from people of that kind. Just to be in their presence will keep your problem foremost in your mind. The problem must be taken OUT OF YOUR MIND for that is where it really exists. Your mind must be on other and more wholesome things.4. When you bathe, do not admire yourself in a mirror. Never stay in the bath more than five or six minutes -- just long enough to bathe and dry and dress AND THEN GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM into a room where you will have some member of your family present.5. When in bed, if that is where you have your problem for the most part, dress yourself for the night so securely that you cannot easily touch your vital parts, and so that it would be difficult and time consuming for you to remove those clothes. By the time you started to remove protective clothing you would have sufficiently controlled your thinking that the temptation would leave you.6. If the temptation seems overpowering while you are in bed, GET OUT OF BED AND GO INTO THE KITCHEN AND FIX YOURSELF A SNACK, even if it is in the middle of the night, and even if you are not hungry, and despite your fears of gaining weight. The purpose behind this suggestion is that you GET YOUR MIND ON SOMETHING ELSE. You are the subject of your thoughts, so to speak.7. Never read pornographic material. Never read about your problem. Keep it out of mind. Remember -- "First a thought, then an act." The thought pattern must be changed. You must not allow this problem to remain in your mind. When you accomplish that, you soon will be free of the act.8. Put wholesome thoughts into your mind at all times. Read good books -- Church books -- Scriptures -- Sermons of the Brethern [sic, Cistern too?]. Make a daily habit of reading at least one chapter of Scripture, preferably from one of the four Gospels in the New Testament, or the Book of Mormon. The four Gospels -- Matthew, Mark, Luke and John -- above anything else in the Bible can be helpful because of their uplifting qualities.9. Pray. But when you pray, don't pray about this problem, for that will tend to keep [it] in your mind more than ever. Pray for faith, pray for understanding of the Scriptures, pray for the Missionaries, the General Authorities, your friends, your families, BUT KEEP THE PROBLEM OUT OF YOUR MIND BY NOT MENTIONING IT EVER -- NOT IN CONVERSATION WITH OTHERS, NOT IN YOUR PRAYERS. KEEP IT "OUT" of your mind!----I think it's rather funny, but it should help.But WHY are you doing this??

I havn't wanked in a week! (there were 2 blow jobs during that week though)

I remember the longest was like 2 weeks but i had some wet dreams so i dont think it really counts.

i went about 6 months in the last year of high school. then finally the day i do masturbate, i ended up having a wet dream that night too, go figure!i havent masturbated since end of last year

This is just wrong: In reply to: If you are associated with other persons having this same problem, YOU MUST BREAK OFF THEIR FRIENDSHIP. A couple of years ago I didn't masturbate, or have an orgasm any other way, for four months. There's no way I would have done it without the encouragement of my friend who was dealing with the same thing. We took the 'challenge' together. He ended up going over 11 months! A friend who is dealing with it could be bad if you both are co-dependant and enabling, but otherwise the encouragement and the doing it in tandem can be priceless. In reply to: Never read about your problem. This is also crap. It was very helpful for me to read about sexual addictions while I was starting my sobriety. I understand that you don't want to get aroused by reading stuff, but reading about how to overcome it, if that's what you choose to do, can be very helpful. And finally... In reply to: BUT KEEP THE PROBLEM OUT OF YOUR MIND BY NOT MENTIONING IT EVER -- NOT IN CONVERSATION WITH OTHERS, NOT IN YOUR PRAYERS. It's not even worth mentioning how much bull this is. If you don't talk about it, how can you get the encouragement it takes? This kind of thing cannot be accomplished without support from someone else.

Reply to Cool, there is no way anyone can last 6 months. Someone please prove me wrong.

My roommate's already proved you wrong. He did 11 months.

I did not say the stuff I found is right, only thought it would be funny to read, I found it on the HP of a church LOL

I figured that was the case. I just wanted to point out how utterly insipid some of it was. (Some of it, not all of it.)

I've gone very long periods of time without masturbating. Not because I was trying to stop, but because the urge to masturbate just never crossed my mind. Now, since I've had a boyfriend for the past 10 months, I think I've masturbated only a couple of times. I find that masturbation is way overrated (probably not something I should say in a Masturbation forum )

Overated?...i do it everynight...makes me fall asleep it so good

My record is 2 months. I've tried to break that record several times, but I can't. I make it to 6 weeks and I can't take it anymore. It's VERY difficult to do.

I guess this is all based on the assumption that masturbation is something wrong and must be stopped? WHATEVER THE HECK for?Masturbation is fun. Masturbation is useful. Masturbation is not evil or bad.IMHO of course.Or did I miss the millions of smileys that are supposed to indicate that this topic is a belated April Fools joke?

im 17, virgin, and i havent masturbated for about 8 months, but i didnt try to stop i just sort of did, and not masturbating is normal for me now. there are benefits to it, my penis is healthier my foreskin is cleaner and im sure its bigger.

I don't know where you got this "healthier" idea from.

What's bigger? If you're saying that by not masturbating your penis is, then I think we need to talk about that!

Maybe if you stop a little longer, all wars will end, and fusion energy will become a reality, and you penis will become even prettier.Where'd you get the idea that not masturbating will make you healthier in any way, unless you were obsessive and rubbing the skin off?
