Masturbation is a completely normal, healthy, and natural part of human sexuality. It is practiced by people of all genders and ages, and carries zero risk of pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections (STIs), making it the safest form of sexual activity. However, like anything life too much of it can be harmful. Take this information as you will.

I keep trying to start but can’t ever get past the first week before relapsing. Any advice?

Idk you, but I’m genuinely extremely proud of you! I heard cutting out masturbation (obviously sex is still an option) is a really good way to practice self discipline and regulate your dopamine! I’m not sure if you made this decision because you struggled with that or not, but I know a couple of sex addicts who have harmed people they love because of their lack in control so I understand the importance.

Any advice on how to quit porn? That’s the main thing I want to cut out. I feel like it’s an addiction at this point even though I watch out of boredom, and I always feel like crap after relapsing. I wish there was a way to permanently block or ban sites from my phone because I would have done this years ago, but I’d probably still find another way.

Is there a specific reason why you stopped? It’s not really a bad thing unless you literally stop taking care of yourself and such to masturbate.

Masturbation is good for prostate health just so you’re aware

I honestly can’t say anything but congratulations because it’s so hard for me to take a break. It’s definitely linked to porn addiction. I think the longest I’ve ever went was a little over 2 weeks

Idk if you watch porn, but quitting porn is the first step. It’s a lot harder to masturbate purely on imagination, you might just get bored. And seeing porn repeatedly is the stimulus that tells your brain it’s time to masturbate, so getting rid of it will make you less horny.

Exactly. Going cold turkey is not the answer, especially for men it’s been proven to improve prostrate health.

Lol, idk why but this comment is so funny to me. If OP posted this, it might be because they felt negatively impacted by masturbation. Everyone is different. Sometimes going cold turkey is exactly what some people need in their life. Plus the male body manages abstinence through wet dreams anyways. Abstaining for a year isn’t gonna harm you. There is no need to make hasty generalizations.

Also having regular sex improves the prostate health too. To significantly lower your risk of prostate cancer having sex often will be equally as beneficial. I hope all of this fear mongering isn’t working. OP accomplished something and there is no reason for them to stop or feel bad for their decision

If you watch out of boredom and not for pleasure, it should be easier to quit than for someone who watches it for pleasure. Find something else to do when you get bored. Develop a new hobby. Distract yourself someway else. If it helps, think of the ways that watching porn is actively bad, such as how watching it degrades your body image or how the industry is predatory and exploitative.
