How to stop masturbation (TuT)

1
Find another outlet for your time and energy.
Fill your life with engaging activities. The
excitement of doing something different can
help replace the urge to masturbate, and you'll
have a go-to distraction next time you're
tempted. Try some of these options:
Be Creative . The process of turning sexual
urges into creative output (called
sublimation) is something on which monks
and sages have relied upon for centuries.
Start writing, learn to play a musical
instrument, paint, draw, or do whatever
else makes you feel like you're doing
something productive.
Play Sports . It takes discipline and
persistence to excel at a sport. Develop an
interest like running or swimming, or a
group sport like soccer, football, basketball,
or tennis. Also, any form of exercise will
help you relieve tension, feel happier, and
to make you focus on your physicality in a
positive way. Yoga is another form of
exercise that can help you feel more
relaxed and less likely to feel the sudden
urge to masturbate.
Eat a Healthy Diet . Fruits and vegetables
have healthy effects on the body and
provide nutrients necessary to increase
your energy to make you more active
throughout the day.
Find a new hobby, or cultivate a skill .
Learning something that takes a while to
master can refocus your brain on the
delayed gratification of achieving goals
instead of the instant gratification of
masturbation. Try skills like cooking,
woodshop, archery, baking, public
speaking, or gardening.
Volunteer your time. Devote your energy to
helping teens who've been less fortunate
than you, such as working at a shelter,
tutoring low-income students, cleaning up
blighted areas, or raising money for a good
cause. You'll get an altruistic feeling from
helping others, and you'll have less time to
stray from your goals.

Make a plan for avoiding masturbation during
your "go to" times of day. If you have
problems before going to bed or in the shower,
refrain from any temptation to masturbate. For
instance, if it's a problem late at night, drop to
the floor and do push-ups until you're too
exhausted to do anything but fall asleep. If you
find shower time too tempting, start using ice
cold water only — you won't want to be in
there for long.
If you always masturbate when you get
home from school, make sure to have a
solid plan to stave off any boredom you
may feel. If you have so little to do that
your mind frequently wanders to sexual
thoughts, occupy your schedule. You'll find
it gets easier to avoid masturbation if
you're too busy or tired to spare any
energy for distractions.
If you're tempted to masturbate in the
morning, try to sleep with more than just
one layer of clothing so touching yourself
is more of an effort.

Limit your solitude. If you masturbate
frequently because you feel lonely, find ways to
be as socially engaged as possible. This
means that you should join as many clubs or
activities as you can, accept and give more
invitations to people, and go out of your way
to make more friends. If you want to date
someone, consider asking a friend to set you
up or join an online dating site.
Another thing you can do is to limit the
times when you are likely to be home
alone. If you tend to masturbate in the
hour or two before your parents get home
from work, go for a walk during that time,
or do your homework in a coffee shop.
Even if all of your friends are busy, you can
still limit your impulse to masturbate by
going out in public. For instance, instead
of watching the game at home by yourself,
watch it at a sports bar. Even if you're not
hanging out with friends, you will not be
alone, ultimately having no time for
masturbation.

Stop watching porn on your computer. One of
the reasons you may be masturbating so much
is that you know that you can access porn
within seconds if you want to. However, if you
don't have the willpower to stop looking at the
porn on your own, then you may have to take
other measures to get the job done:
Consider installing porn-blocking software
on your computer. Of course you will know
the password to bypass the blocking
function, but just having it pop up will
remind you of your priorities. You can also
type a random password in a text file, copy
and paste it when you enter your password
and verify it, then delete the text file. Then,
you will not be able to know the password
of your own porn-blocker. This is the best
way to keep you strong and spare you the
struggle.
If you have the tendency to masturbate
looking at porn on the computer, try
moving your computer into a room where
others can see you.
If you have a physical collection of porn,
dispose of it ASAP.
Get Help. Porn addiction apps such as
Brainbuddy are designed to rewire your
brain so you crave real connection instead
of porn.
