I'm 17 years old an when I was about 12 I started watching porn and masturbating maybe 2 times a week. When I turned 15 it was about 4 times a week. When I turned 16 it was 6-7 days a week. About a month ago I tried to stop and exactly one week went by with no masturbating and then I had my first wet dream. I was 16. I have slowed down a bit, but I am slipping into my old ways and I'm back to about 5- 6 days a week. I want to stop so bad, but I get urges and I can't control myself. I have to stop before going to college next year. I dont want to have this problem then and for the rest of my life. Any suggestions?

♥Dan Dan♥	Get a girlfriend and have sex.

Heads up!	Get a girl friend to masturbate for you.

wranger2112	Get a girl friend

babyqueen	get a girlfriend or just a really good friend lol

xzone fan..	spanking your monkey is normal, but block the t.v. channelsand stop rentting porn. or get help,

blablahblaster	You shouldn't stop masturbating. It helps to prevent prostate cancer to a certain degree. And if you want to stop watching porn, it'll be impossible in college. My bf and his friends leave their porn all about. There's no way you can miss it! And if it makes you feel better I know lots of guys who masturbate more than you.

farva77	Here are some suggestions first get rid of all your porn; sell it or give it to a friend. If you have a f--k buddy maybe they can help.. or a girl friend... And what ever you do make sure you us a rubber... by the way your only 17 its normal your at your sexual peak.. I hope this helped..

wendy_the_pyro	"Problem?" It's normal for a guy, and many girls for that matter. When you go off to college, you'll probably trade porn with your roomie. LOL Calm down.

Forever_14	thats wat i do sometimes.. idk how to stop it sry

Ear Reverent	Watching porn "bad." Stop it immediately! You are contributing to something that denigrates women...cease thy spectator "sport," forthwith... Masturbating (depending on how how often...more than once a month is too much) is okay...Dr. Ruth and Bill Maher said so... I believe Bill Maher said, "Hey! It's nature's free-bee...use it, or lose it..."

Mario Sergio	there is something inside you that is missing, it might be a girlfriend/boyfriend... try to get one of those and live, go outside because there are a lot of better things to do than stay locked on your room spending your time with nothing... pornos is something cool but it is not something you need to handle forever. have you haver tried to talk to someone, a closer friend... your dad, uncle, someone..... every man has been there sometime. move on...

garden_nut90	go to www.xxxchurch.com and download the software it work by a buddy system and well anyway it tells you. Hope this helps.

haitianhottie601	maybe it's something you're watching? you just have to resist the temptation. no matter how badly you want to, just say no, after a minute or so, you won't want to do it. When you want to do it, find something you like to do. If a good show is on, watch it. maybe you won't want to go masturbate. listen to a good song. same thing.

hippie-chick	get a girlfriend that likes pron too

Carol B	Wow, I'm not sure if you have a problem or are just subject to your age. But if you do have a problem with addiction to pornography (easiest definition, does it cause manageability in your life) you are wiser than some. There are ways, whether it be a 12 step program, support groups. Addiction to pornography can cause a lot of problems. And if you feel you may have a problem, well your on the Internet, google "help for pornography addiction". You're not alone.

kittybyebye	Well, first it's natural that you are that sexual it's the right age it goes away with age. Do you get the feeling because you watch porn or does it just happen going to class or to the store? If you think it's really bad then you might want to go see a doctor. There is a problem about this out there actually a few. You can be over sexed so-to-say. I don't think it's really that bad some people have sex 4 times a day or more. The problem would be if you just get the urge all of a sudden while doing normal day to day things. Then you should def. get help.

Collie	you dumb as*.....Masturbating every day when you are young is not weird...hahaha...dude, do it as much as you possibly can!...But I will say, dude, do NOT watch porn!! God, I do not know how to emphasize that enough, just use your imagination!...It is not hard (no pun intended).

angel-fire	get a girl friend

lil_play_boy_bunny 1	throw out all your dirty movies or have someone hide the plug to your computer, or learn self control. Getting a gf will just make you want to screw more often and that might scare a girl away

Daniel F	I encourage everyone to get a good webfilter such as "K9 Web Protection." This is available at: http://www.k9webprotection.com/ Another good software to try is what is called accountability software. This one will track questionable websites, and email them to a person, or persons, of your choice. It is called x3Watch and is available at: http://www.xxxchurch.com/07/ and http://x3watch.com/ These are ideas both for parents, and persons who are struggling with an "addiction" to internet pornography.

alex l	i can see you don't think this is good to do . so just tell yourself no this is not good . pray ask for help. each time you do that afterwards remind yourself that is not something you wanted to do . when you watch the porn note how repetitive it is and how most people you i figure need to see more and more extreme sorts of things on there to do it for you . that is bad. get a girl friend .

-sIDnEy-	hey dude, its normal to have the urges for teens like you (been there) its part of your development (physiologically) just try to divert you attention, like go into sports or join community programs. don't idle you mind coz it will probably ends you being horny.... Cheers!

sara	there is really nothing wrong with masturabtion. chances are, your sex drive is just very high right now. eventually, it will go down a bit. but even if it doesnt, who cares? but if it really bothers you, try thinking of different things to fit into your day that would take place of you masturbating.

l00k_up	The masturbation is normal, and will decrease as you finish up with puberty. The porn watching is making it much worse, and I would suggest throwing the stuff out. I think you will find the masturbation to be much more controllable.

Travis H	met a girl, read a book, have a hobbie with your hands (notwhacking it) watch tv,liston to music

inuvikrx	Imagine, the solution to this problem for many people here is: get a girlfriend and have sex!! If that isn't the stupidest thing I've ever heard, I don't know what is!! Stop worrying about it. It's normal to have those urges. It's what has prevented our species from dying out!! Getting a girlfriend just to have sex is like getting a gun to kill mosquitos. It's a dangerous solution. Sex involves feelings (of more than just one person), possibilities of unwanted pregnancy and Sexually transmissable diseases. Just relax. It'll work it's way out.

Spazzcat	Sex is like any other habit that gives you a pleasurable feeling - it's addictive. However I think you'll find most guys your age masturbate at LEAST once a day!

texbw	First of all, be aware that this is not unusual for somebody your age. Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with it but I was raised in a very religious setting where that was not condoned so I understand if that's the reason you feel like you have to stop. That being said, I do recommend that you try to limit it to some extent. Porn can end up giving you a lot of unrealistic expectations regarding sex. Also, a woman's vagina feels a lot different than your hand. You can grip yourself a lot tighter and your hand produces a lot more friction, especially if you do it "dry". If you grow too accustomed to it then you can grow desensitized to touch and it will be more difficult for you to achieve orgasm with a woman. You said in your post "I have to stop before going to college next year". Well no, you don't have to. You don't have to do anything you don't want to. Stopping completely might not be a realistic goal for the time being. You might start this way. Next time you get the urge to do it aknowlege the fact that you're having that urge, then tell yourself "Ok, I want to go whack off, but instead I'm going to go... ride my bike, call a friend, go to the store, etc. Try to find something to do where there are people around and you can commit, say, an hour or so to something else to take your mind off of it. If you can take your mind off of it for awhile then eventually the urge will go away. But if you can't get any peace go ahead and do the deed and enjoy it and don't beat yourself up (no pun intended) about it.

aw	maybe you need to get out more and socialize then you would not have time for all the porn. but there is nothing wrong with masturbation it is normal but all that porn will warp you lol!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike J	Living a clean life sexually is like playing a sport. It requires a lot of control of your body, just like playing a sport well takes a lof of control of yourself. You can train yourself to get there too. First you have to understand that sexual feelings and the actions that produce them are some of the most basic, important actions a human can do. It's how our life was created. It is something powerful, and sacred. Too special to be wasted like you are a cheap thing. You are a son of God. The rule is to do your best. It's one of the most powerful things that man and woman are able to feel. If you can control those feelings, you have power. Don't let yourself be a slave to animal urges. You are a human and can do much better. Go as long as you can without masturbating. If you get really horny and mess up in your resolve, all that means is that you are a human. Get back up and try again. Learn what the problem is and find a way to get around it. Porn is grabage. Don't look at it, don't touch it. Don't let it near you. It is destructive and it's poision. You don't want to get near it. Just take my word for it. Steer clear of porn and you'll do fine. To answer all of that energy that you have inside of you, focus on some other pursuit you can do. For me, it was working out in the gym. If I could focus on my strength and fitness, I didn't have energy to worrry about stupid things like getting off. You're right. If you don't take care of the problem now, it will bother you for the rest of your life. Get on top of that and claim you life as your own. Good luck - Email me if you have any more questions.
