Giving up masturbating?!
Question: Giving up masturbating.?
Hi I'm 16 and I masturbate 1-4 times a day. I have been doing so for about 2 years. When I first started, it was really enjoyable but now it has got to the point that my semen is less dense and erections not as firm.
I have tried a few things to help me do it less frequently like leaving my bedroom door open and just trying to go a day without doing it, but this doesn't help because thinking about not doing it just makes me want to do it more!
I'd imagine I am going to be told that I do it out of boredom but that isn't really true, It might have been previously but now I am back in education after the summer and it's great, But now I do it out of habit that I cannot break.
Any tips or suggestions would be very welcome,
ThanksHealth Question & Answer

Answers:
Consider a visit to your doctor and/or a therapist. Ejaculation is associated with the release of dopamine in the brain which is part of what is referred to as part of the "reward cascade." Persons with addictions whether they be sexual, drugs, alochol, or food are seeking the release of this chemical that makes us feel better.
All of us are susceptible to seeking pleasure and escape. Be patient with yourself and seek help by those trained to deal with this type of situation.Health Question & Answer

Jadl, sounds like you've got an addiction going on there. You wouldn't be the first young guy to get himself caught in the trap where he needs the endorphins produced by sexual activity - masturbation provides them for you.
Getting into a regular program of exercise, especially running, if you can do it, would be helpful - partly because it also produces those endorphins that we get from sex. When you feel like jacking off, go for a run instead and gradually, you might reduce your dependence on sex.

Why do women answer these questions.?
You don't eat meat. Are you getting enough protein.?
Over the course of my life I have masturbated and had sex thousands of times. It's got no effect on the firmness of your penis.
I did see a new strory of a man who lived on nothing but salad. He lost all his hair and his ability to have sex, but he seemed happyHealth Question & Answer

I guess when you feel like doing it, you can not control it. you are in the most vulnerable age for this. You will one day find no much enjoyment in it. And when you have a girlfriend and start having sex you will reduce the frequency i guess. So, nothing to worry about. Health Question & Answer
An hour after dinner you take your bike and ride like hell.
Or just go running or jogging
How about swimming.?
All things that tire you and will keep you occupied.
Perhaps you can quit the addiction that way in a healthy manor

hey man don't sweat it too much. all you've done is gotten bored. i was the same way around your age. i would please myself up to like 8 times a day dude. by the end of that day nothing really excited me. it would barely get hard at all. now im 18 and i jerk off like once a week if i feel like it. it just sort of dropped off like it wasnt an issue any more. my advice is similar to everyone elses, concentrate on girls and school a little more try to keep urself a little more occupied. but don't worry too much i think you'll be fine but if something weird happens head to a doc. p.s. watch out for inflammed tubes, ouchy.Health Question & Answer
