Will I ever be able to masturbate "normally "

[Silicon]

When I first started masturbating
"around the age of 7"
I never did it the normal way I would hump a teddy bear and this continued up until I was 15 and then I got over that but while I was still doing the Teddy bear around 13 I started watching porn and now I can't get off without it
It feels like I traded my bear for porn and I feel I should be able to release myself without having to watch porn but it's impossible
Do you think I might stay this way for the rest of my life?

[Drewboyy]

No. Just forget about bear once and you'll slowly start to break to the habit. It'll work out

[Henri-K]

I think u should try to replace porn with fantasies about girls or boys. That's what I do. Sometimes I just need to jerk off no matter what

[fast8]

You will be able to get off it just like you did the bear you will fine somethingelse to help you

[NZPerson]

Tthe first few times will always be the hardest but you need to break the habit and stay strong.

[Silicon]

Thanks for the helpful replies, I'll do as suggested and try to break the habit slowly

[Tyson S]

Good luck. Breaking a habit is hard but you can do it! Hang in there

[PennyRoyalTea]

Try using you imagination, close your eyes and lose yourself

[ryanjones]

Good luck! You can do it easily!

Ive done the bear thing when younger and I moved on to a pillow. If thats what gets you off there is nothing wrong with it. As you learn more techniques I think you will figure out what feels good and how to do it. If porn helps you get off right now and in the future go with it. As you learn more about yourself you can try different things.

I like porn but i also learned how to fantasize or talk on the phone, read stories and more to get off.

[SillyShyGuy]

Sure everybody is different and if that turns you on then stick with it.

The way to break your dependence on porn is to stop watching it.

What I mean is you decide that, at least until you have got used to getting off without porn, you are not going to use porn to get off. The first few times you try without it you may not succeed but if that is the case you just wait for a while, for example a day, and then try again.

As time goes by and you background horniness goes up from not having got off for a while, eventually, masturbating without porn will be enough to do the job.

Why does no one care about the bear???

Sicko!!

[Anomaly]

I think it's just a phase and eventually you'll find something you like better

I had the same problem (the porn not the bear), and this is how I did it.

When you start masturbating, begin with porn, but when you start getting really horny before you cum, turn it off and imagine either the porn or a really hot situation you've been in. Then, slowly start reversing the amount of time during your masturbation session watching porn to your imagination. When you do this, you should eventually be able to just start masturbating without porn.

Porn can be helpful and healthy in moderation. But like anything, too much is unhealthy. Therefore, once you are weened off of it, be careful as it can be very easy to fall back into it.

A couple of guys here have it right - your imagination is key here, set aside some time to imagine and fantasize about people you know and what you'd like to end up doing with them :cool:

Oh, and for this person, pay no attention. We all have our own silly fetishes and I'm sure she has a couple of her own she'd hate for people to know. Plus You were young when you started. And then important thing for her to remember is it's about sensation, not the fact it's a teddy bear. She and others like her need to be more accepting of others with different views and who do things differently. She should shove off. Keep Rockin' dude!:metal:
