attempting to quit masturbation.

[gookmique]

well, every since i could ejaculate.. i've masturbated atleast 4 times a week. i've masturbated so much that microscopic droplets of blood were coming out of my urine whenever i went to the restroom (i went to the doctor about a year ago for stomache problems, they wanted urine tests, and found blood within the urine. apparently it was due to an enlarged prostate, caused by so much masturbation). if you guys do the math, i mean, it's a huge number, but ROUGHLY 4 times a week (give about 3 times on those certain days i just could not compel myself).. 4 weeks in a month.. 12 months in a year.. i've been able to ejaculate for 4 1/2 years now.. that's alot of semen. i think it's time to give my nuts a rest. i haven't masturbated for 4 days now, well, working on my 4th day. im planning on going for a month. and, hopefully, eventually stopping all together. but, you know, i'm 18 years old.. and 1 month without a nut, is a loooong time.. who else agrees that there comes a certain point in time when you need to.. just.. stop?

I disagree, and just 4 times a week?? I jack off at least 3 times a day and I haven't had that problem...
do you mean once a day for 4 days each week or many times a day for 4 days each week? I don't understand.

Anyways, you need to talk with a doctor (urologist) if you have an ongoing problem with this. And you don't necessarily have to quick jacking off just because you have problem with this once. You can just do it less often, you don't have to completely stop...

atleast once a day, 4 days a week. that's what i meant. every other day for a week. on monday i would, skip tuesday and do it wendsday. shit like that. the problem wasn't severe. it was just a little somthin' the doctor wanted to know about, you know? they saw blood in my urine, and wanted to know what it was coming from. the reason i want to stop masturbating is more psychological than physical. its not because im lookin' out for my nuts or anything. i want to stop masturbating because i'm, technically, a man now. "real" men, don't masturbate. yes, people will have mixed opinions. but, this is how i feel. real men, don't masturbate. if anyone is reading this, don't troll the forum saying "ZOMGz RELL MAN DU MASTERBATZ.. REALL MAN IZ OPIN ABOUT MASTERBATIONZ." plus, i have a girlfriend, so there really is no REASON for me to masturbate. you dig?

[MoveAlong]

nope don't get it.

Single men DEFINATELY masturbate. Married men masturbate. Sometimes a person needs their alone time and doesn't want to have to "perform" and impress somebody. Also, sometimes one's partner isn't in the mood. Then you have to do your own thing.
I'm not trolling, I'm just repeating what I've read over a long period of time.

There's nothing wrong with masturbating at any age. Whatever you want to do, but just keep other's opinions in mind

just keep other's opinions in mind

right on dude

Wow, I'm 18... so you're saying I'm not a real man? Who's to say what a real man is any way? Where did you get this idea from? Did someone tell you this or is this something you came up with in your head? You've got a lot to learn of what a man is. Its more than just an age. Its a mentality and based off your actions that are notable. No one cares if you masturbate except your ego thinking you're above people who do or you're less of a person because of it.

If masturbation makes you feel so insecure about yourself to where you want to give it up its not being a man. Its being insecure and tell me what's manly about being insecure? I remember your old post saying you want to go into the military. Well sorry to break it to you bud, but there isn't a girlfriend in the barracks to get you off when you need it. So are you saying the soldiers away aren't real men? If you told them that, you'd be a laughing stock.

Your medical problem is not due to masturbation so don't use that as a scapegoat. Whether you have sex 4 times a week or masturbate 4 times a week, its the same process.

If you think you're too good for masturbation fine, but don't hide behind the fact that its because you're a real man because its not about that. Its an ego thing for you thinking you're too good for it.

You should stop doing it because its a preference, not because you feel less of a man because of it.

Get your priorities straight.

on que, man. didn't think about it from that perspective. maybe you're right. maybe it is an ego problem. who knows. but, the medical issue is a fact. i did have an enlarged prostate from too much masturbation. which, in turn, would be the result of my urine containing blood. speaking about the army, i take my asvab test next week. if i pass it, i deploy for basic within the following months. im really excited! :yeah:

I've never heard of it causing that. Are you sure? A medical doctor made that diagnosis?

Good luck on your test. I'm sure you'll pass. They are in dire need of soldiers.

I'm glad you can see from my POV. I just don't like to see people fret over things, where at the end of the day, it doesn't even matter. Life is too short to fuss over little things.

Who TOLD you that the enlarged prostate was due to masturbating?! If it was your doctor, he was seriously steering you the WRONG way!

Do some research of your own. If you look around you'll discover that masturbation has been proven to PREVENT prostate cancer. In fact; a lot of doctors even PRESCRIBE masturbation for men with enlarged prostates.

Think about it practically, it's almost like plumbing. If you don't run water through your sewage pipes, all the shit in there will "build up" and cause a backup. The same sorta thing has been said of the prostate. If you don't let semen run through your tubes often enough, it can actually PROMOTE an enlarged prostate and even cancer.

You really need to look into the true reason why your prostate is enlarged. Masturbation had NO part in it. If you doctor said it did, then he has a secondary personal agenda which is totally unprofessional and UNSAFE for you.

[Jeepmudr16]

With your problem, it's not a problem with masturbating it's in your urethra sperm helps the tubes not damage them it's like sealant/glue so it helps. Plus I have sex alot and its like masturbating in a way sperm goes out but my pressure is harder because I am more aroused and the only time I bled was because i was in the hospital and they had to stick a tube in my penis to my bladder (Cathidor) because i was in a wreck and was unableto use any of my lower part of my body and the person who did the cathidor messed it up and i bled for days. So don't worry. :)
Plus your enlarged prostate wouldn't be because of masturbating it's something else.
Your Doctor is dumb. dx_xb

what you're sayin is 100% true. but, if the water runs for too long in the pipes, the pipes start to carrode(spell check).


i don't know. i guess this is a PERSONAL matter. i, MYSELF, for no other reason than self gradification, want to stop masturbating.

[jimbo14]

For what it's worth, I've been masturbating an average of 3 times a day for over 2 years, which is over 2100 times, and I never had any bad effects from it.

Sorry I can't provide you with a very clear guide, but the main thing is, just find other stuff to do. Occupy yourself with hobbies or hanging out with friends and such.
