I wound up masturbating each morning it interfered with my life, I bought a flourentine chastity belt and put the key in a timed lock box so that it opens only at night for 1 hour.

Yea, i've tried to cut down the amount of times that I was masturbating. I have never attempted to stop completely.

I have cut down from four or five orgasms a day to about two or three.

I use to jerk myself off the moment I woke up in the morning, because my cock would be rock hard when i'd wake up.

Then i'd prceed into the shower to clean mtself up and to get ready for school or work. There I would pull my pud under the warm water and cum all over my hands.

Then if I was at school I would always taken the opportunity at my lunch break to go the the boys bathroom and blow yet another load while behind a locked stall door. Or on days that i'd have gym class, i'd jerk myself of in one of the shower stalls after gym class was over. Sometimes, when I would get really horny I remember skipping out of class and sneaking into my car and chocked my chicken while I sat in the student parking lot.

My next orgasm of the day usually came sometime right after school, either in the boy's locker room or the bathroom again...it all depended on how horny I was that day. I was one of those teenage guys that would get a raging hardon for absolutely no reason and my erection would never go away unless I was able to cum.

Then I would always end my evenings by masturbating at least once just before I would fall asleep. I still enjoy falling asleep after i've just cummed all over my own chest.

I hope you can see why I have tried to cut down a bit. Although jerking of at school was always fun and fraught with the chance of being caught which made my orgasms there that much more intense. I think at one point I managed to coat the entire back of a stall door in the boys locker room. (I know that was kind of gross, but i'm still a little proud of that fact, as a horny teenager who managed to cum enough man-juice to cover a small wall.)

Yes I have tried. I tried just to see if the orgasm would be better if I stopped for a while. I would always say ya I will stop for a while and then try it but I have never been able to last long being 15 I cnt resist I get urges

I would stop masturbating for a couple of days. When I really get turned on I blast my loads everywhere just keeps spuirting out until its done. I guess I'm really going to please my girlfriend when I cum in her mouth.

I tried to stop masturbation several times for religious reasons, because I felt guilty. But it was impossible. The longest period I ever succedded not to masturbate was 11 days. After 7 days I awake middle in the night due to a hard erection. This happened every nigth again. After the 11th night I could not stand the pressure and started to wank off and it was so wonderful. Just in this night my mother noticed the noises and suddenly broke in into my room. She was very upset and told me I was a dirty guy and going directly to hell and I had to be punished. She ordered me to get out of my bed and stand right in front of her and to pull back my foreskin as much as possible. She took a rubber band and placed it roundd the shaft of my penis, so the pressure grow up and my penis become dark red and rock hard. She then ordered my to lay back on the bed and under no circumumstances to touch my dick. She said it was forbidden to masturbate, because this would cause mental illness. Erections were normal for grown men, but only for of sexual intercourse in marriage. Unfortunately I obviously were too early with my reactions, so she would take care of that. She took some body oil and applied it on my dick and started to stoke it very hardly. Due to the rubber band it was quite endless and I felt like dying for sexual pressure. Finally my mother took a scissor and removed the band. Then my mother finished me by hand. It was an unbelievable feeling. This was the first time I had a genuine ejaculation. I think I was about 12 years old. From that moment on my mother used to come every other day when I was in the bath and nobody elso was in the house. She didn´t explain anything, she just came in and said it would be necessary again to check my erection: She pulled back the foreskin extremly and pressed the shaft at the bottom. Simulanteoulsy she used to press my ball together, so the erection followed quite immediatly. She never allowed me to masturbate, she always did it herself until I was 13. Then she stopped to massage me and ordered to me masturbate in front of her to ejaculation. I of course nver tried again to stop masturbation. I think there was not a single day in my life that I didn´t.

I stopped for three weeks once when I was a teen because I thought it could be wrong and that I was addicted. Now as an adult I do it 4-6 times a week.

I tried to cut down when I was younger because of guilt. (didn't work) And now I am trying to cut down because my wife and I are trying to have a baby.

I masturbated for a bit when I was 13 but I didn't enjoy it. I hated the idea of 'playing with myself' so I stopped. I started wearing breifs one size too small so my penis couldn't move. In bed I'd wear tighter pants to keep my penis down. When I was 15 I used my pocket money to buy a chastity belt so I wouldn't get unwanted erections. Now I'm 17 and I don't get erections or ever feel the need to masturbate. My mates and girls I know seem cool with my decision. In fact girls seem to like me more for it. I only ever intend to have sex to produce a child. I haven't had an erection for 18 months and feel good because of it. I feel pure and clean and unperverted.

At the end of the year last year, i gave up all my pornograpy movies to my friends so i can see how long i can go without jerking off. I lasted 2 to 3 months. So much for that plan.

When I first started masturbating, I tried to quit because I thought I would run out of semen. That was the one and only time I intentionally stopped. I have not gone any length of time without masturbating.

On several occasions in my late teens/early twenties I actively avoided masturbation to heighten the sensation of orgasm. I think I lasted about a week at the most on those occasions. When I was a bit younger I'd occasionally masturbate three to four times a day on weekends but this caused the orgasms to become weak and almost painful so I would quit until about mid week.

When I have a regular sexual partner I virtually quit masturbation in order to heighten the sensation of orgasm. Or I just dont feel like doing it. Not quite sure there.

I have never tried to completely quit masturbation because I can see no point in denying myself harmless pleasure. I'm pretty sure I'll be whacking into my 80s, provided the equipment does not give up first.

yes I did try to cut it down but I don t think I can ever stop. It feels so good to me its better then sex sometimes I jack off 3 times a week for like 4 hours each time and swallow every drop of my thick creamy cum I think I m about to go and do it now...

i tried to stop, but i guess my brain was like NOOOO!!! YOU NEEEEEEED THAT!!!!!!!! and i'd always forget, and i'd be in the middle of it at night, and i'd remember that i wanted to stop, but i was too far in to stop. it went on like that for a while, then i jsut gave up. i have not gone more than 3 days without it since then ;)

Yes. As a kid we were taught masturbation wasn't acceptable in God's sight. It didn't work very well to reduce, and certainly didn't eliminate, the problem. I've come to believe God laughs and gets tickled and has no objection to pleasure.

I never tried to cut down but I have tried to control my urges more. I use to masturbate anytime I felt even if it was a bad time to do so, I thought I was addicted so I masturbated close to orgasm and then stopped. I held the urge in to continue for about 3 hours but finnally it past.

Now I can start and stop at will so I choose the best time to jerk off.

Just for fun, I have been not jacking for a week, and it is torture. The third and fourth days were the worst, but then on, it has been ok. To help myself from not going all the way, I just go in front of this big mirror and jack off for about an hour without climaxing. It helps with the sexual stress.

yes i have tried...used different techniques...tried to use my hands on other things more.nothing worked..

it sucks!!!....lol...lol

masterbation in general just seems soo discusting to me noww..

I have never tried to quit or cut down on masturbatng. It's such a pleasurable act, in fact I have increased the time I spend masturbating.

When I was younger it was a constant struggle to try and quit or cut down on masturbation. At about the age of 35 I finally gave up on those efforts, and since then the only restrictions I put on it was to keep it private. I am now retired and find I take out my cock and masturbate whenever I do have privacy. I cannot see where it has done any harm whatsoever and I enjoy it as much now as I ever did, although I do not cum or even have an erection as much as I used to. Mostly my cock is semi-erect and always feels good.

yea, i tried quitting. It didn't work, after a few days i came back and did it many times in succession. I think once you start, you cant really get out of it. If there was a way to get off masturbation and thinking about it, i would very much like to know because this is making me question sexuality...

I started masturbating when I was 7, started having dry orgasms at 10 and ejaculating at 12. When I was young I was always trying to quit, then gave that up and went to trying to cut down. Each time I seriously tried I ended up masturbating more than before. When I started I ejaculated about 3 or 4 times a week, but read somewhere the average was 2-3 times a week so tried to bring it down to that, but never succeeded. By the time I was 17 I was cumming about 7-l0 times a week and kept it to that until I got married at 29. After marriage I thought I would stop masturbating as my wife and I had a lot of sex. And although I stopped cumming so much from masturbation, I still masturbated as much or more, as I would do it before sex and after my wife had enough or went to sleep, also we always included it in our foreplay. Also I would masturbate if she did not want to have sex or was having her period. For many years I tried to cut down on masturbation as I thought I was doing too much. The result was that I stopped trying to fight it and gave in. Now I masturbate much more and enjoy life much more.

I stopped masturbating several times for religious reasons when I was a teenager. The longest period was nearly two years, but this ended with a great deal of anxiety and prolonged periods of priapism. It finally ended for the last time when lying in bed with a raging erection that spontaneously erupted into a mind numbing ejaculation with no manipulation of my penis. 22 years later I'm on an even keel, accepting that the benefits of this pressure release outweigh any other consideration.

It's like free from prison if you stop masturbating. I felt it...So can you...

I went through a period of about 3 years where I tried to go without masturbation. My problem was that I was very shy and inexperienced with women. By the time I was 20 I was still a virgin and tired of having only masterbation as a sexual outlet. I often felt depressed and disapointed after masturbating because it wasn't satifying my REAL desire for women and sex. I was hoping that wet dreams would help me deal with my sexual needs and maybe feel more real and not so depressing. I had wet dreams about every week or 2. While they were sometimes very enjoyable, they were too infrequent to keep me from going nearly insane horny. I usually managed to last 2 to 4 months without j/o before I couldn't stand it any more and would mastubate every day again for about a week before the negative feelings would come back and I would try to stop again. The longest I lasted without j/o was about 10 months. Ultimately I got help dealing with my shyness, got laid, and never looked back. While I wouldn't reccomend it to everyone, I would have to say that overall it was a positive experience for me. Not easy. But I learned a lot of things about myself because of it and wound up getting what I REALLY wanted in the end!

I have tried several times to stop or reduce masturbation, and for the most part it has worked. But I had an explosive experience the last time I put myself through a drought: 6 months ago I had quit masturbating for 2 months straight, and still hadn't had a wet dream to unload. On my way home for Christmas, knowing that it would be hard to jerk off at home and feeling especially horny, I went into the dorm bathroom at 5am the day of my departure to take care of business. It didn't take long and I squirted so much cum into the toilet I think I could have filled a cup with it.

Yeah, I've tried many a time for religious reasons. Then I get curious and find some information on the internet or something saying it's normal and all guys do it and I let me guard down and it happens again. The longest I've gone without doing it would be about three months. It's not hard if I don't think about it, but that means I need something to constantly occupy my time, which isn't usually the case.

Yes, when I was a kid I thought it was a sin, so I would feel very guilty after and would vow to never do it again. well that only lasted until I got horney again. In a day or so. Then I would try to just play with myself until I reached that wonderful feeling and then stop. One stroke too many and I would cum like crazy, and the guilt cycle would start all over again. I made sure that I taught my kids that masterbating is natural and healthy. I didn't want them to suffer with the guilt I felt. So although I tried to stop, I still do it. The difference is that now I really enjoy it.

When I college I jacked off at least onece a day, sometimes two or three times in a day. After college I tried to give it up before I got married. I managed to go several days without jacking off, but my balls started to HURT! I mean a steady ache that just got worse. I tried to go another day or two, but finally gave in and got myself off. End of pain, and also the end of ever trying to give up masturbating. I've been married for almost 25 years, and still do it on a regular basis. I like sex with my wife, but this is just different, and for me only.

I have only ever tried to cut down from my average of once or twice a day because at some point I realized that it was affecting my ability to have an orgasm with my girlfriend. When I told her how often I did it she was shocked, but then she told me a while later that she had done some reading about it, (maybe here, who knows) and realized that for guys it was totally normal. She actually said she read that guys in relationships or who have regular sex are sometimes even more likely to find themselves masturbating, because they are thinking about it more.

I haven't been very successful in ever cutting down for long, but I don't care, other than that it makes it harder for me to have an orgasm with her.

When I have cut down it was very intense when I finally did orgasm, but that is pretty rare.

It's always good anyway.

Part of the reason is the technique I use, which is rubbing myself against a pillow like I am on top of (and inside) a woman, and I think this has caused me over time to rely on the stimulation it gives my testicles, and when inside my partner it is only my penis that is getting the stimulation.

My girl has picked up on this and touches my testicles lightly when I am in her, and ready to orgasm, and it works great.

I'm a little upset with myself that I have trained my sexual organs this way, because it is a potential problem if I wanted to just cum withought special help, but she actually enjoys having an active part in the process instead of me just humping her til I cum.

Sometimes I have masturbated ten times in a day, and I always do it at least once, but I gave up on cutting down.

The hardest thing for me mentally, is knowing the intensity is so much better if I do it less, but I just cant help it.

At 37 I have been doing it at least once a day forever since I discovered it, and I think it keeps me healthy, but I would like to be able to stop at will for a few days to make it more intense.

I guess that not being able to control it is what upsets me the most.

I tell myself that I am gonna not do it for a day or two for her sake, and then I find myself doing it anyway!

Yes I have tried to stop masturbating when I started having sex with girls but I always got back to my old ways of masturbating where there was the possibility of being caught by female members of the family, Aunts, cousins etc. My sisters always joined me once they knew I was at it, they loved to see me ejeculate and this made a better thrill for me. One Aunt caught me once (I left the door open so she could)she helped me and then gave me oral sex. I really wanted to give it up to have a decent relationship with a girlfriend and have for a short length of time but the urge is always there and I love watching my sisters masturbate so giving up masturbating will always be first first sexual preference.

I've been doing it since i was 16, have tried to stop but my body is like you moron! its now part of your life, so do it!! i'm 20 now, don't do it as much as i used too, maybe once every 2-3 days but like some here I fell guilty and ashamed, I haven't gotten caught to this date. I wouldn't call it an addiction. Its just that when you do it, it feels good. Right now im on a 1-week target without masturbating if I can withstand that much time ill go for another week until I achieve 1 month!!!! wish me Luck guys!!!

Regrettably, I tried to quit masturbating several times since the onset of my teenage years because of religious beliefs.

Having attended Catholic School, I can say without reservation that I was sexually repressed for the greater portion of youth beyond puberty because the nuns conditioned boys and girls against touching ourselves in an “impure” manner lest we desired a one-way express ticket to Hell. Is it any wonder, then, that when I began experiencing regular stiff, throbbing, involuntary, surprise erections at age 11, that I didn’t dare fondle my Peter or explore its physical attributes? Instead I would immediately try to will it away while quietly reciting a Hail Mary or an Act of Contrition! Some might call that some serious brainwashing.

By the time I turned 13, my willful Peter regularly forced its rigidity on me at the most inopportune times and places, and there wasn’t anything that I could do about it. Every time it stiffened up I would cringe, fearing that the girls might see the hardened bulge pushing against my pants. Changing from wearing boxers to whitey- tighties at least gave me the feeling that I could restrain it, somewhat, and therefore a false sense of security.

The first time I masturbated was quite by accident at age 13. I was taking a hot shower and soaping up when my Peter’s strength, and my fascination about the taboo surrounding it, overpowered me. The moment I slid my soapy hand over the pink, rigid organ it quickly stiffened and began to throb. The anticipation was too much to resist, so I gripped its shaft and bashfully stroked back and forth. I felt enormous guilt while I squeezed and pumped, yet the most intense, sexual pleasure overwhelmed me. Just as quickly as I began, my hot thick load erupted past my tight grip, and splat all over the powder blue tile wall.

I felt so culpable about masturbating, and worse – shooting my load. Instead of relishing my very first time, I refrained from doing it for nearly six months until I finally succumbed to the temptation for a second time. During the 8th, 9th & 10th grades, the Devil managed to lure me in twice each year. Then in my junior and senior year I masturbated four or five times.

It wasn’t until after I had sex with a girl for the first time when I was 19 that I began to masturbate with a little more frequency, and feel less guilty, although much of the old, brainwashed feelings remained, and oftentimes I felt filthy and despicable to the point that I would try to stop. I guess the longest I have ever been able to refrain during my adult life is a week to ten days. After that I can’t stand it anymore, so I masturbate and shoot huge thick loads with intense gratification.

Now, I don’t feel a bit guilty. I masturbate every morning before I take a shower and I consider it a part of my morning routine! I wouldn’t start my day without masturbation, and two or three times a week I even masturbate in the evening too!

I wish that I could have freed myself from all that Catholic hocus pocus propaganda much earlier in my life. It sure would have been fun to jerk off regularly during my school years without having to feel so darn guilty. I probably wouldn’t have been walking around with a stiff Peter all the time if I could have milked it regularly.
