Masturbation/Sex Issue - Help

[STEALTHy]

Alright well I'm 16 male in high school and I masturbate usually once everyday. Lately for awhile now I've been wanting to stop because it's causing problems with my life because I can never get much done in terms of school work and other personnel goals. It's so hard though because as soon as I get home and I find I'm watching TV it kicks in and I just do it.

Also recently I've been pretty horny and I'm afraid I'm gonna start thinking of girls in terms of only sex. Which I don't want to happen, I wanna think about the more important things. So I always look at these photos of people in love to remind me of what I truely want.

Any advice or help given would be greatly appreciated. Also I've had a sudden and recent attraction to actress Ellen Page for some reason, any explanation on that?

I would say it's probably just your hormones. It's normal if you feel horny all the time, and that always eventually leads to masturbation. Whenever you feel the urge to do it, try to listen to some music, or do something else to distract you. Avoid watching porn at all costs, and if you still can't stop doing it, make sure you do it before sleeping or during shower, so that you can have more time to do other things.

I also look at photos of couples and people in love on the Internet, it helps reminding me that love doesn't necessarily mean sex. Nowadays it's really hard to find a couple in the street, for example, in which you feel that true passion that makes them being together. You know what you want for your future, and when you get a girlfriend, treat her like a person, not a sex toy.

About Ellen Page, I think it's just a celebrity crush, don't worry about it.

If you really feel like masturbation is getting to be a problem in your life, you might be addicted (yes, there is such a thing) if you need to, seek help.

Lol, why would you stop....it's much easier to study after j/o, no stress and you are happy :)

Masturbation removes the building up sex drive and stress that most of us have. If it is causing problems directly with things for you, then reduce how much you do. But stopping is incredibly hard.
I once felt like you, thinking that I needed to stop and that it was not helping. But after trying to stop for 5 days, my mind was teeming with horny feelings.
I say just go with it, don't stop and don't worry. Try to do it when it is not in the way of other things regarding study, work etc. That will help.
