Well if you mean you do this in an addictive way, there are a few steps you can take.

You shouldn't punish yourself. Consider it this way: if you're constantly dwelling on the disapproval of masturbating, you're still thinking about masturbation all the time. Don't just trade in your masturbation addiction for another one - they're so closely related that you won't resolve anything. Instead, acknowledge that this has been a problem for you, but you will persevere to stop the impulse. Also, remove any porn you have! Or any enablers for that matter. They will only promote the urge.

Hope I've helped!

I do not understand why guys feel guilty about something that literally 99.9999% of guys do.
1) It feels good
2) Relaxes you and removes tension
3) The body needs to release semen
4) Stops embarrassing wet dreams

Relax enjoy yourself guilt free. My dad told me when I was 12... "It's ok to whack off, it's normal and stop worrying about it".

And we go to church every Sunday. Why do you guys stress over this shit.

Dude leave the guilt alone... Mastrubation is a NORMAL teen activity practiced in the privacy of your room. Ya be discrete. If you think your dad didn't do it your living in another world. It's personal.. enjoy yourself.
Maybe I was just brought up different, but it's not a sin. My parents are pretty open and we can discuss shit like this. Jeez..read the forums. Respect your parents but respect yourself. Your parents will have you seeing a shrink if they can guilt you out this easy.

Don't think of any sex related fantasies, or/and when you want to, go an do something else so you can't, like go shopping, out to town and then it will pass

Screw guilt!

Ask yourself honestly why you feel guilty. All guys and even adults jack off. it's a pleasurable feeling and does so many beneficial things for your body. Do yourself a favor and do some searches on male masturbation and read a few articles. Put your prejudice aside and keep an open mind.

The mind is like a parachute, it isn't much good unless it's open!

Yeah, I can't see how you'd find it guilty but if you do then that's ok. If you're 'craving' then you should go do something like play a sport/go on a walk or go to town.

Try gaming! It really helps me! :D When I feel the sudden urge to masturbate, I simply turn my xbox and after 10-20 minutes I forget about it.

I also feel a lot guilty after masturbating, I don't know why but I do. Basically you just need to stop watching porn (use some porn blocker if necessary) and stop having sexual thoughts (try to listen to some music to stop it, or watch a film, or go eat something, just avoid them). If you follow this steps you will be fine, I once didn't masturbate for 4 weeks using this method, and I'm planning to stop completely. Good luck ;)

You shouldn't feel guilty. It's perfectly healthy (and I'm sure I've read somewhere it's actually good for your sexual health).

Face up to it as boys we're all doing it :) and there's nothing wrong with it. I wouldn't worry too much but as said avoid too much porn. It has been clinically proven that an addiction is possible.

Check out /r/NoFap on reddit. It is a great community for what you are endeavoring to do.

What you can do to not do it as much is if you feel the need to jerk off, then make yourself do something else or think of something. Like put some music on or go for a walk.

There is no need to feel guilty as long as it is not interfering in your everyday life. If you're kipping hanging out with your friends or taking care of your responsibilities to masturbate, then you might have a bit of a problem. But otherwise, there is absolutely nothing to worry about and no reason at all to feel guilty. 98% of males masturbate, and the other 2% are lying. It's a very natural and healthy activity. There are studies that show that masturbation is actually good for you in a lot of ways.

So stop worrying, and enjoy your body. :)

Don't. :P

Just stop doing it , think about other things other than masturbating

[John1796]

If you get the urge, just do something else to get your mind off it. If you don't do a sport then do a sport or etc keep your mind busy.

Why do people feel guilty about it? Its normal and healthy
