How to resist the urge to masturbate?

Decide whether your masturbation is a cause for concern. Masturbation has become an obsession when it interferes with your daily routine and your relationships. If you find yourself masturbating instead of spending time on more important things on a daily basis (and you are no longer a teenage boy or girl!), then it might be time to break the cycle of behavior you are in.
2Isolate the cause. There is a reason or reasons you masturbate excessively, and you must find out why. If you concentrate on just stopping masturbation then you will just return to your addiction after a short period of success. So, why do you masturbate? It could be because you are bored, lonely, hurt, stressed, or it could be because of pains from the past. You're going to have to get yourself in a relaxed state conducive to productive thought to really find out why you turn to masturbation. What are you trying to escape? Avoid focusing on symptoms. Saying you masturbate because it feels good is not the real reason you masturbate excessively. Dig deep into your feelings. If you find this part difficult you may need therapy to help you discover feelings you are not seeing clearly right now.
3Deal with your feelings. Dealing with feelings correctly is a skill and may be a skill you have forgotten or need to learn. Feelings are the result of thoughts. How we interpret the world and ourselves in our minds determines how we feel. We decide how we feel about things. If you masturbate because you feel bored then it is because you decided to feel bored. Nobody made you feel bored. You did.
4Change the thought patterns that are leading to excessive masturbation. You can no longer see masturbation as a solution to your boredom or loneliness. The more you learn to enjoy your everyday life the less you will want to turn to masturbation.
5Narrow down the times of the day that seem to be the biggest problem for you. Isolating the times of the day that you struggle the most can help you to focus your efforts better to overcome masturbation addiction. If you know you struggle most when you lay down at night then you can create a plan specific to that time of day, for example do not lay down. Maybe you need to exercise and burn some testosterone or estrogen before going to bed. Exercise will also help you to be more tired and fall asleep faster. If you struggle at different times of the day or several times throughout the day then try to narrow down the times and the environment you're in when this becomes difficult.
6Spend some time each day, perhaps in the morning, visualizing a new you. A more confident, sociable, outgoing you. It's important that you start reprogramming your brain on a daily basis. It may seem awkward at first but if you persist, you will become more comfortable with your new self-image.
7Change your habits. You cannot overcome a masturbation addiction so long as you are spending a lot of time alone in your bedroom viewing pornography. Get out and meet people. Form healthy relationships and perhaps find another outlet for your sexual energy.
8Have an emergency way out - When the wave of temptation comes you need to have a pre-planned emergency way out. Many people have found that snapping a rubber band on their wrist helps break the automatic thought chain that leads to masturbation. Of course you don't want to hurt yourself, just have something similar to get your mind off masturbating.

Maybe learn to masturbate and then get straight back to the task at hand?

i think masturbating was the task at hand.

get a girlfriend/boyfriend your reward can be to see her/him and they can help you with your "problem".

The problem is, I keep getting the urge more than once a day. Maybe thrice? I just really lack self-control. I can't work on my coursework because of this which leads to more procrastination.

So what can I do to resist it? How do I stop being so horny?

Get a picture of Anne Widdecombe :tongue:

Nothing wrong with a rinky tink tink though :wink:

Go revise, listen to music.
Distract yourself... don't think you NEED to ****
I'm really motivated to studying as I need pretty high grades so that's what keeps me going

Plug out the internet?

Or get someone else to do it while you work.

Or offer yourself porn as a reward system for getting a certain amount of work done. Giving ourselves structured reward systems is one of the best ways to achieve any given task requiring determination.

FINALLY, an excuse to start studying!!

I have feelings to

hurt yourself, (dont cause any permanent damage) but wound yourself, that will stop you, when the head of my cock was damaged i culdn't consider ****ing for weeks! A guy once bit it aswell (hurt so much, for days) and that stopped me for a few days. I dunno slam the head in a door or make the head sore by rubbing it a lot of with a thick sock or something rough but not like sandpaper lol that would just be stupidly dangerous!

But yea damge it to the point where ou don't watto pleasure yourself but obviously not o the point that you that distracted by the pain! Just an idea

Just do it... being horny and frustrated is going to be more distracting than having a quick play

So many of your a ignorant, this person asked for some help and I bet plenty have been in his position. Once or twice? bloody heck, I can tell you I am more than that its called being a man and I bet its stress related to thinking about the mountain you have to climb as in work. Think of what makes you relax normally and do that but having a 'pull' is fine a few times just get it over with and don't let the mofo linger - beat it down and you will be fine to work after.

peace
