Addicted

[Watta Tem]

Im 18, and I think i'm addicted to porn and masturbation. I've been doing this since im 14. And when I turn 16, I masturbate more and more. Its like I cant forget masturbating everyday, and Im still doing it nowadays. I always tell myself to stop doing it, but i always fail. Im a filipino, and I thhink my friends dont masturbate that a lot. Can I stop doing it ? Can I masturbate just once a month or a week? Am I normal? Is it good for me?

[dzietz99]

There's no downside to masturbation. But, if you feel like you're doing it too often, maybe you should try harder to take breaks. Maybe do something you enjoy like play a sport.

[Watta Tem]

Yeah, I always play and enjoy things. Its just that my bed is telling me to masturbate, specially when i'm alone, it always pop up in my mind to do it..

[dzietz99]

You just have to tell yourself that you don't need to do it as often to enjoy life.

[Watta Tem]

Well, its not that easy. I could tell myself not doing it again after I masturbate. But when lust strikes again. I cant stop it.

[dzietz99]

It's alright to do it. Just make sure it doesn't get to the point where you're doing it all the time. That can destroy friendships if it gets too bad.

First off, we will start off with the myth that masturbating is bad for you. However it is NOT. So do not worry about it being bad for doing it too much! On to the part about you being addicted, many people are including myself. It becomes part of a daily routine for many people and it's perfectly normal. If you don't want to continue then simply try to stop but it can be difficult. I hope you can do whatever is best for you! :)

17 is a guy's sexual peak. You'll never find a moment that you aren't horny.

[Jevon]

You have nothing to worry about it is fine that you mastirbate so much

[TheFSM]

I eon't think it's abnormal to want to masturbate every day.
I do!

[Plasma]

Its not a bad thing. Its probably just horomones

[tom17]

You should try to stop, man! I know it's hard but what you're doing is not healthy, it could end very bad. You can do it, c'mon!

[tom17]

I mean, it's pretty normal to masturbate daily at least once but you should stop if you're doing it like six times a day idk

[Michael_6]

I am exactly the same but I enjoy it

[lukene]

First of all it isn't unhealthy, and secondly in what possible scenario will this end badly?

He never mentioned or hinted that he did it anywhere near 6 times a day. From what I read (see below) it sounds like he's only doing it once a day. As for being unhealthy.. Masturbation has been proven to be healthy.

Can't forget masturbating everyday

Oh Jeez, you mean it gets worse? Or is that "better"? I can't imagine being much hornier...
Anyway, I think the simple answer is that you just relax and jerk off as much as you feel you need to ...and enjoy it. It's only too much if your total enjoyment is less.

Testosterone hits it's high during that age period, so yes, I would assume you'd be a lot hornier.

A lot? Omg! I'm practically insane as it is. Oh well, I'll deal with it then.
As regards the OP, it hasta be harder in your late teens then. Maybe it'd help to be in a relationship? But I think jerking off is a better answer than using someone else to relieve your sex drive.
Idk much about porn addiction, but I could see it might b hard to stop that. Maybe reward yourself enough by jerking off without porn whenever you feel like it and then you'll not need porn?

It'll be around high school/college so your sex drive will have plenty of people to choose from.

Cool! :-)

You didn't have to state that you're Filipino... & I know my filipino friends don't talk about sexual things with each other or to me so you wouldn't really know, maybe it's in their culture.. while my white friends talk about sexual things a lot.

Of course masturbation is healthy, but ANY addictiom is a good thing, as he's saying he have an addiction I thought he could be doing it A LOT more than once or two daily.

[tom17]

I do know masturbation isn't unhealthy, but of course it will eventually become if you can't stop doing it. But, look, he's calling himself an "addict", do you know ANY kind of addiction that ends up positively? I don't think so. I'm assuming he's doing it A LOT of times a day as he's saying he's addicted. If that weren't the situation then he could keep doing it normally, there's nothing to worry about.

[Trace]

but ANY addictiom is a good thing

What about that of heroin, cocaine, marijuana, etc?

[john1000]

I think you are normal

[Watta Tem]

I mostly masturbate only once a day, for me I consider it addiction, cause its not quite normal to a Filipino (as I observe). Well, since you people say that its normal, I could keep doing it and enjoy it since you also say that its healthy.

Since you all say its normal I'm curious that I might run of sperms in the future by doing it too often. Should I be concern?

People at my school call themselves OCD because they don't like power points turned on when nothing is plugged in, it doesn't mean the are. So, just because he said addicted doesn't mean he is, and not many addictions do end well because most involve harmful substances etc. But if I was addicted to soft blankets it would end badly? I don't think so. Just like frequent masturbation (3-6 times a day) how could it end badly? An example please? And I know he has nothing to worry about, that was entirely my point.

[lambo420]

Its fine man its just hormones and being horny in general lol

[Lutzy1]

I'm 15 and last year when i started, i thought i was masturbaiting way too often, but i wasn't. Once a day is definitely NOT too often. So dont worry!

Dont worry, you wont run out.

[PinkFloyd]

You're not harming yourself in any way. It can become a controlling habit though. I'd suggest joining a sport or something like that to take your mind off of it.

[Watta Tem]

Once a day is not too often. Get it! Thanks everyone! It really helps.
