Just eliminate all the initiating causes...e.g. watching porn, watching sexually suggestive things on TV, ogling at women with revealing clothing, fantasizing about sex/women. Try looking the other way when a fit woman is walking along the street...Basically put it out of your mind and make yourself busy doing something else. Hope this helps

masturbating is healthy, exept for in two casses, if you have a fling and you masterbate and cant preform for her, and the more seriose health side were depending on the speed at which you masterbate, say if you masterbate really hard and fast, and when your with someone you cant go at that same speed you could actually lose interest and go limp, not very good for a relation ship shell think its her and be very hurt about it.

You don't *need* to quit unless you are seriously harming yourself. But in general, Humans' need for sex is not a need for an orgasm. Sex is essentially a social activity. Of course we all need a fix now and again. But if you are finding you need the sensation every single day, that may mean something else. Your *need* to masturbate could be a sign of depression. See a doctor to be sure. I used to have this urge and it went away when I quit associating my desire for a mate with the need for an orgasm. I like sex more now because I associate it with the true root cause of the desire...a need for a loving connection.

Are you REALLY sure you should or want to? Why would you want to stop something so natural and part of being a living being? I've no clue as to why you are motivated to do so anymore that you would want to stop blinking or swallowing or breathing. Your creator wouldn't have given you the equipment and know-how if it weren't meant to be used. So very much depends on YOUR own why? If someone else has layed this on you, where will it stop? Even if you are actually siccessful and don't ever masturbate again, depending your age, physical health, medications, etc. etc, you will at some point have a normal and natural orgasm through "wet dreams" or nocturnal emission. There;s nothing sinful or obnormal in masturbation. It's as natural as organic gardening. It's a stress releaser. Seems to me you are building more stress over something that is a part of your natural male function just as eating, digesting, toileting, and such like. As a child, I was scared besonkers of pictures of the pope. My Dad helped me over that one when he told me "Just remember that he looks as reidiculous sitting on his toilet, as you do." Since then I came to realize that people are human---everyone. Whatever is bothersome to you about masturbating is likely to disappear or at least be better understood by you. When you begin to understand why itis presently distaasteful to you, your inner self will tell you what to do and you'll have the ability too what YOU think is best for YOU. YOU do the deciding, instead of letting someone else fill your thoughts, and you'll do the right thing.

1. Don't think you're alone. Men masturbate, and many men would, if honest, think they do it too often. 2. You are right not to want it to be a habit - it mustn't be allowed to become a substitute for a real relationship. If you do carry on a lot it may well become a problem in later life. 3. Trust yourself to know about whether it is wrong, don't let other people tell you - if you don't want to do it as ofen as you do then go with that feeling and try to cut down. 4. Try not to live this one entierly in the present but look to your future as a 'carrot' with which to encourage you to gain control over yourself and your desires. 5. Love yourself as a person, and learn to love others as people not just as sex objects. Finally, faith does help - the knowledge of forgiveness through Christ, for instance, can be a mighty release for guilt and therefore make it easier to fight what you do not want to do.
