Be psychologically prepared not to watch porn...find alternatives such as reading books, school works, TV...avoid erotic stuffs

Masturbating can be a very hard addiction to break, however it's not a bad thing if you can handle it. I would say if it's disturbing your sleep patterns you might want to try doing it a little earlier in the day so you can have a full night of sleep without all the excitement! :) If you still can't find a time during the day such as after school in your case, then i would suggest cutting it to something you do every so often and not every night. Hope this helps!

The fact that porn is negatively affecting you means that you have to change your patterns. To simply say that you should stop is easier said than done and not helpful. What you need to do is to start doing other things when you get the temptation to watch porn. Stopping porn cold turkey is tough, and you need to gradually bring down your porn usage. For example, if you are watching porn for two hours straight, then you have to bring that down to half an hour within two weeks. What you do is knock off something like eight minutes of porn usage per day over two weeks, then you can really get your porn down to manageable levels. You also have to be disciplined by setting aside very specific times of the day when you masturbate and making sure that at other times you are doing your obligations. For example, if you cannot do your homework because you find yourself masturbating when you should be doing it, then you should either leave your bedroom door open or do your homework in a public part of your house. If you have anything in your bedroom or living space that makes you horny like a poster or something that makes you turned on, then you have to remove them so that you do not get the urge to masturbate. Again, you can jack off, but force yourself to masturbate only during certain times. If you violate those times, then put money in a jar that you have to give away, but if you follow those times, then reward yourself with something.

Especially if you're new to masturbating, then the feelings are great and porn can be really addicting. However, you have to get control over your body especially since other parts of your life are being badly impacted. There's nothing wrong with masturbating, but just make sure you're in control of it.

i think you should try and fit it in around what you do as aposed to making time for it, just gradually cut down on the porn you watch, so watch it every 2 days and then when your used to that, go down to 4 days and then a week etc until you no longer desire it.

Watching porn habitually can be a bad thing. If you watch it all the time then you could be robbing yourself of the discovery of real sex and of the desire of real companionship. Just like some kids who never get outside and form real bonds with people. They miss out on how to really connect with others. Porn is how crude sex is done. A relationship is like an art, it takes time to master. If you want to quit try this. Try watching porn without masturbating and only masturbate when not watching porn.

Yes, you should reduce (not stop it) to maybe just the weekends for example as it's affecting negatively.

Try not j/o just one day and next day you do. Then try not j/o 2 days and the following you j/o and so on until you are 5 days "unbeaten".

I really try to save masturbation for the weekend but I sleep naked so i get really tempted in the middle of the night and end up jacking off 50% of the time.
But masturbation is a really tough habit to stop, you could try making a new habit to replace masturbating like reading or movies and i would suggest saving the porn for the weekend were you don't have to wake up early to go to school.
