i hate to be the one to inform you that 95% of all men masturbate on a regular basis and the other 5% lie. masturbation is normal and harmless so there is really no reason to feel guilty. unless you practice a religion that prohibits this i would just keep this practice a personal secret and not be so anxious about it and have such angst trying to stop. i'm also a fellow teenager who masturbates but has been trying to stop as i have a serious addiction. i'm not sure if you've heard of this resource but the nofap reddit page is an amazing place to help you abstain from masturbation and porn too. take a look if you've not heard of it before it's definitely worth it. what i would say is that you need to try again and again and again and again! you will succeed just get back up! hi why? just think of masturbating as having sex with the best friend you will ever have no chance of getting sti's or std's aids free. but all men at sometime during there lives masturbate either daily or weekly even if there having good sex lives we will still masturbate its something guys do so don't be ashamed of what you doing. and don't forget girls and women also masturbate so its not just a guy thing. when your masturbating do use some kind of lubrication like baby oil coconut oil or some king of gel there really good for your skin. if your having anxiety problems over this google natural ways out of anxiety but don't blame masturbation for it most of us have anxiety problems at sometime just getting relaxed will help. do hope this helps you. good luck
15 year old male and want to stop masturbating. have gone 9 days before i gave in. i know it's because of puberty. i know it's normal to feel guilty and such but i just don't like to or want to anymore. i'm pretty lonely as well and don't hang out with friends because i have anxiety and have masturbated for 2 years
