I love it when people style a good bit of self-use/abuse as 'self-exploration'.

Just how long can it take to explore your own genitals :p:.

Depends why you wanna stop. (e.g. religious reasons)

Just stop exposing yourself to things which get your fired up and avoid everything that will lead you to eventually doing it e.g. bird watching :wink: :p:

i do do it but i feel reli bad after. quiet dirty and unclean 2. how do i stop doing it?!


Masturbation exhausts the mind because when you experience sexual intercourse with a real person (your hand doesnt count), all senses, touch, smell, etc are activated. But when you pleasure yourself, it is all happening in the mind and can cause feelings of saddens afterwards (chemical imbalance) and even acute depression in some people.
As for stopping, masturbation is addictive, so the only way is will power.

^o) what are you talking about

We should all stop masturbating because the kook above things it affects our 'spiritual energies' or some such guff.

Love, masturbation causes a rush of serotonin and dopamine. Happy times your'll find.

I trust chemistry over bloody 'spirituality' (E.g. new age ****e) anyday.

Well, im just saying that the sexual organ was not designed for your hand.

Masturbating more than once a week, weakens memory, endorphine levels, re-call ability and lots of other stuff.

Yes they can... It may be harder for those with higher sex drives but it's not impossible

Altho for people like yourself (cant get a gf), you may not have much choice in the matter.

Actually, orgasms cause a release of endorphins into one's cerebral-spinal fluid and endorphins are also somewhat responsible for the emotion of happiness. Release of endorphins when masturbating (exausting the imagination) are much higher than usual sex.
