Hi, I just want to say that Masturbation is bad. I was taught to masturbate when I was around 8 years of age. I continued the experience because it would give me satisfaction. But, I did not realize it was turning me into a devil and ruining my health, body and mind. 1. I was becoming more and more perverted, negative thoughts about women (usually married women or women with boyfriends), sexual desire in such young age when I was supposed to be studying and learning about the world. 2. My hands/feet would become sweaty after masturbation 3. I stopped gaining weight 4. I would get migraine headaches 5. Oily face and oily skin (all over body), oily scalp/head. 6. Exhaustion started after few years of masturbation Now I am 32 My body remains cold, cold hands/feet (especially when temperatures go below 60. I remain cold during summers too). My hands/feet still sweat. Body still produces a lot of oil (but far lower than 7 years back). I am trying to overcome impotence, and weak BC muscle. Whenever I am up, and i touch it with my hand, my both palms start producing sweat after few minutes, body pH seems to change. I am now allergic to lots of foods, especially dairy food. With my own experiences, I can say that masturbation ruined me. I went through depression, not associating nicely with women, and feeling weak while standing/talking to men. Masturbation probably affects our sperm-producing faculty (hormone-making). It takes its toll on whole body, not merely penis/testicles. Please spread awareness to all younger people and warn them against masturbation. Thank you. God bless all. (I am from a Muslim-torn nation)

Masturbation is very deadly! I've started @ a very young age around age 10... I'm now 19 & I regret doing it all these years. I feel lazy always towards my studies, my religion, & I'm sorta shy to talk to girls now. I don't look in people's eye. It's hard to give a speech in front of class. I get nervous a lot. This website changed my life! I also heard that wanking yourself at a young age ruins your growth, you won't be able to get taller. I restrain myself everyday from this preposterous act! Subsequently, everybody should quit! It's not worth it. Lastly, I also heard it makes your back crooked, & when your having sexual intercourse with your wife the sperm cells aren't that strong. The mother & father must have a healthy lifestyle!

I am divorced from the father of my children. Their father was addicted to pornography and it was devastating and eventually ended our marriage. I totally understand what the addiction to masturbation can do to a person and how it affects everyone they love.

I can testify that masturbation is very detrimental and addictive. I figured out how to stimulate my genitals when I was a 13 year old girl. Then it became part of my life. Even after I got baptized into my church at age 23, I didn't give up the habit. Around age 30, it became kind of excessive, and I was aware that something was wrong - but I couldn't quit the habit! Then I attended a camp meeting, and the pastor addressed this particular subject. This really hit me, and so I was determined to quit the habit - and I did for 2 1/2 years! But then satellite TV seduced me again. I saw women there who undressed themselves and touched themselves while men were talking to them on the phone. I also had an online affair at that time, and this guy also animated me - so finally I engaged in self-pleasure again. I'm now 40 years old and I'm still not married. During the last 8 years or so, there have been ups and downs, victory and failure. The longest I could make it without touching myself was about 9 months.

This is a devilish act and it eats you slowly so that by the time you realize that it is bad you have already damaged your life. It has caused me erectile dysfunction, depression, and premature ejaculation.

Well, I am 19 years old, i started a habit of masturbation from 2007 until now,...this phenomenon has really affected my self esteem and interpersonal relations with other ppl, i am no longer confident about myself, I am bitter and I'm frustrated about myself and my life.

♥♥ PLEASE READ MY STORY AND HELP ME ♥♥ I am 14 years old and my life has become hell due to masturbation. It started when I was in 5th grade, 10 years old. One day I was lying upside down in my bed. Suddenly a feeling arouse and I started rubbing by penis against the bed. I told it to my best friend(I wont name him).He told that it was sperms and it was not at all harmful. So I continued masturbation and I am suffering the punishments of my fault made by me on that day till today. Today I fell like banging his head against the wall for urging me to the wrong way. But I am helpless, can't do it. After all he too didn't know that it was harmful. He too is struggling to leave it. Now, when I am in 9th standard, when it is the time for me to plan for my future, I see that masturbation will lead me to darkness. I didn't even told it to my parents ever that I masturbate. However that best friend of mine was caught by his parents one day while masturbating so now he is in control. But what about me? I am so depressed by this masturbation that today whenever I meet a new boy or girl, I do not have the confidence to become friendly with them as quickly as others can do. Please if someone feels pity on me please send me a mail regarding this help.

Obviously, we dont need to be told before we know it is bad for human health. I was introduced to it by a friend 10yrs ago. I've been practicing it because it relieves me of sexual pleasures. The first side effect I had was: --- pain on my buttocks after 24hrs. --- general body weakness. --- frequent urinating. --- quick reaction to sexual stimuli. And finally short interval of coition which i know they are abnormal.

Hi all, I am from Pakistan and was introduced with masturbation at age of 15. At start it was like 1 time in 2,3 months then later on i became addictive to it. This leads to doing it 2-4 times a week. Back then and now i am totally clear that its a bad habit and it ends up bad with one's doing it, i wanted to quit it but my will-power was not enough and i continued doing it. Now at the age of 26 i feel my memory is very weak i have to be reminded every now and then about tasks at work and i face alot of problems because of it, i cannot hold it longer i ejaculate within a minute if moving it continuously, my erection is not that hard i feel my penis softer, thinner and short in length. Now i have decided to quit it and i will do it whatever it takes because its ruining my life and acne is popping out on my forehead and my body.Guys, Please don't listen to those arguing about it being good. Those people have are in worst stages and want others to feel the same. They dont want others to be happier and have power inside them to satisfy their wife. And Please if you are into it then quit it as soon as you can, because this will never make you satisfy your needs and by doing it more and more will take you to the point of no returning back health.

Masturbation is a whole lot of crap. If you are feeling as guilty as I am feeling right now you should slap your friend or anyone who taught you to do this. I feel awful. It's just a nasty feeling that overwhelms my body and mind like a flood everytime I ejaculate from masturbation. I hate myself and I always want to die sometimes it feels so dirty. I wish that I never started this habit.

Hello , i am 18 years old, soon will be 19. From Pakistan. I started touching myself at age 10. I started doing it frequently, even my mom told me its not harmful although some advised me not to do it but i listened to the internet! Trust me! The internet has ruined my life! Now i feel lazy all day i cant seem to focus on my studies, i am weak! I cant stand straight no longer than 5 minutes, i am nervous , shy and i cant remember things i am easily distracted and now i dont know what to do with my life. I am regretting everything but the worst part is that nothing can be done now. Raise awareness! Save the young generation! Masturbation is deadly!

It kinda feel embarrassing but I do anything to stop , so let's not keep the crowd waiting, my story started when I was 9 years old & on 21th of may I'll be 18 , & thought I should do something right ,"7,5" years of masturbating first it'll give a lot of fun & pleasure but you'll lose your well & after you do it you'll feel guilt.... & insure you I'm the best in the business since day one I'm counting how many times I did it 10,212 times with a score of 23 times in one day .Masturbating wasn't a problem until I decided to stop & i found out that it was too late I became a slave for that habit it started to affect me two years ago I started to get tired after running I can't keep up in gym I'm forgetting things I started to lose in boxing matches so frustration got into me, I try so hard to stop when I see friends talking about it I feel like "it's only you who isn't masturbating & face it you can't quit it you quit boxing you are a loser." My will is falling apart.

I am 32 years old, male, and I live in Georgia. I began masturbating at age 15 and hording up porn mags and movies. My parents never knew, although my dad found my stash a few times and he was really ticked. I had known this habit was wrong, as I was raised a Christian but didn't begin to get serious with God until 31. Anyhow, up until a week ago I had my most recent incident. This practice is very horrible as God inspired me to look up the mental/emotional/physical dangers of this practice. I have for a very long time now daily experienced loss of memory, irritability, lack of motivation and will, itchy butt, some hair loss, anxiety, headaches, "black out", screwy sleep schedule, back pain, perverted thoughts, worry, reclusiveness, and much more. But its been about a week and I have noticed a slight improvement. Also I have ADHD- which this in itself can be a big result of yanking the wank. This evil practice robs you of vital energy and minerals/vitamins that your body and organs need to function, repair and thrive. Plus it inflames your nervous system, decreases your libido and leads to selfishness, paranoia, dementia and feelings of hopelessness. STOP THIS NOW IF YOU ARE DOING THIS! YOU ARE KILLING YOURSELF IN SO MANY WAYS!! Find new interests and hobbies, get spiritual help and firstly and most of all PRAY! GOD WILL HELP YOU!

Ever since I started masturbating, I felt often good but years later and I'm 18, I feel so damn regretful of even doing it. I hate doing it. It ruins my sleep, I can't even set myself straight. This morning I literally started throwing cups off the living room table and broke down. My mom fails to see that it is ruining my life and it is eating my sanity. Don't Masturbate! It will hurt you!

If i can find a way to tackle the sexual urge i get before masturbation ill be fine. I used to suffer from chronic masturbation and now cut down to once or twice a week. But i want to give this up. Every time i do it i feel isolated, lonely and so angry with myself. I tend to not think about it when i am feeling spiritual and religious. I would also tell a close friend who wouldn't judge me of this issue and he would be keeping track of my progress. This helped a lot, i also made a tally chart and ticked off days where i never masturbated and reward myself with a treat. My next aim would be to keep a fast every time i masturbate.

I started masturbating at a very young age....i can't even remember ...I'm 19 now and i can go a few weeks without it but it has definitely taken a toll on me during sexual intercourse. I feel as though I can barely get it up anymore. I've told myself today and especially after reading these stories that I will not masturbate anymore. My porn days are over. I just hope it's not too late for me to stop....I'm 19...I've basically hit puberty....i'm probably no longer gonna grown and who knows how much masturbating had to do with that . I am done as of today .....I just need strength so that I don't go back to this lifestyle. It consumes you like an addiction. I'm about to quit cold turkey.

brothers, i am 16 years old and haven't masturbated for like 4 and a half months and i finally feel i broke my habit and am enjoying life much more when i started masturbating at age of 13, i just wasted my time, lost energy and started becoming weak and lost interest in studies and all the way up to 16 years of age,, now i am about to turn 17 and hopefully i will never ever masturbate again. I tried and then it even became easier and i never gave up and currently its like almost 5 months, and i feel proud and whatever i did. Don't give up guys trust me, if you want to, and make a promise and tell yourself its possible, i guarantee you will leave this sin i don't know what religion you are from, but praying has helped me a lot i never believed myself, but you really need to, then you can only stop masturbating. i wished i had stopped earlier, but still people now is the time and you are gonna love life, feel better, more confident and much more!!!!! thank you

hello, I started masturbating on April 25, 2006..14yrs. I'm now 22 and I've just gone a day without masturbating I Googled it and came across this site. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to share my problem with people that know what I'm going through. I really want to stop this habit because it's really damaging my relationships with my friends. I constantly want to lock myself up in a room watch porn and jerk off. it's only satisfying for a few minutes then I feel bad afterwards. Initially I used to feel guilty about but I no longer do. If I knew what I was getting myself into I wouldn't have ever done it.I find myself avoiding staying in the same room with a girl, it's really embarrassing to make out with a girl and then having sex is a problem due to erectile dysfunction. Your girlfriend will never live up to the fantasies you see in porn. The more porn you watch the more you crave for crazier videos for a greater satisfaction. Masturbation and pornography have surely damaged me over the years...I consider this a great day as it is my first step towards recovery, I confess that I am an addict and I am 100% ready to leave the life I'm living and become a better person free from this sick addiction.

Obviously, we dont need to be told before we know it is bad for human health. I was introduced to it by a friend 10yrs ago. I've been practicing it because it relieves me of sexual pleasures. The first side effect I had was: --- pain on my buttocks after 24hrs. --- general body weakness. --- frequent urinating. --- quick reaction to sexual stimuli. And finally short interval of coition which i know they are abnormal.

Hi all, I am from Pakistan and was introduced with masturbation at age of 15. At start it was like 1 time in 2,3 months then later on i became addictive to it. This leads to doing it 2-4 times a week. Back then and now i am totally clear that its a bad habit and it ends up bad with one's doing it, i wanted to quit it but my will-power was not enough and i continued doing it. Now at the age of 26 i feel my memory is very weak i have to be reminded every now and then about tasks at work and i face alot of problems because of it, i cannot hold it longer i ejaculate within a minute if moving it continuously, my erection is not that hard i feel my penis softer, thinner and short in length. Now i have decided to quit it and i will do it whatever it takes because its ruining my life and acne is popping out on my forehead and my body.Guys, Please don't listen to those arguing about it being good. Those people have are in worst stages and want others to feel the same. They dont want others to be happier and have power inside them to satisfy their wife. And Please if you are into it then quit it as soon as you can, because this will never make you satisfy your needs and by doing it more and more will take you to the point of no returning back health.

Masturbation is a whole lot of crap. If you are feeling as guilty as I am feeling right now you should slap your friend or anyone who taught you to do this. I feel awful. It's just a nasty feeling that overwhelms my body and mind like a flood everytime I ejaculate from masturbation. I hate myself and I always want to die sometimes it feels so dirty. I wish that I never started this habit.

Hello , i am 18 years old, soon will be 19. From Pakistan. I started touching myself at age 10. I started doing it frequently, even my mom told me its not harmful although some advised me not to do it but i listened to the internet! Trust me! The internet has ruined my life! Now i feel lazy all day i cant seem to focus on my studies, i am weak! I cant stand straight no longer than 5 minutes, i am nervous , shy and i cant remember things i am easily distracted and now i dont know what to do with my life. I am regretting everything but the worst part is that nothing can be done now. Raise awareness! Save the young generation! Masturbation is deadly!

It kinda feel embarrassing but I do anything to stop , so let's not keep the crowd waiting, my story started when I was 9 years old & on 21th of may I'll be 18 , & thought I should do something right ,"7,5" years of masturbating first it'll give a lot of fun & pleasure but you'll lose your well & after you do it you'll feel guilt.... & insure you I'm the best in the business since day one I'm counting how many times I did it 10,212 times with a score of 23 times in one day .Masturbating wasn't a problem until I decided to stop & i found out that it was too late I became a slave for that habit it started to affect me two years ago I started to get tired after running I can't keep up in gym I'm forgetting things I started to lose in boxing matches so frustration got into me, I try so hard to stop when I see friends talking about it I feel like "it's only you who isn't masturbating & face it you can't quit it you quit boxing you are a loser." My will is falling apart.

I am 32 years old, male, and I live in Georgia. I began masturbating at age 15 and hording up porn mags and movies. My parents never knew, although my dad found my stash a few times and he was really ticked. I had known this habit was wrong, as I was raised a Christian but didn't begin to get serious with God until 31. Anyhow, up until a week ago I had my most recent incident. This practice is very horrible as God inspired me to look up the mental/emotional/physical dangers of this practice. I have for a very long time now daily experienced loss of memory, irritability, lack of motivation and will, itchy butt, some hair loss, anxiety, headaches, "black out", screwy sleep schedule, back pain, perverted thoughts, worry, reclusiveness, and much more. But its been about a week and I have noticed a slight improvement. Also I have ADHD- which this in itself can be a big result of yanking the wank. This evil practice robs you of vital energy and minerals/vitamins that your body and organs need to function, repair and thrive. Plus it inflames your nervous system, decreases your libido and leads to selfishness, paranoia, dementia and feelings of hopelessness. STOP THIS NOW IF YOU ARE DOING THIS! YOU ARE KILLING YOURSELF IN SO MANY WAYS!! Find new interests and hobbies, get spiritual help and firstly and most of all PRAY! GOD WILL HELP YOU!

Ever since I started masturbating, I felt often good but years later and I'm 18, I feel so damn regretful of even doing it. I hate doing it. It ruins my sleep, I can't even set myself straight. This morning I literally started throwing cups off the living room table and broke down. My mom fails to see that it is ruining my life and it is eating my sanity. Don't Masturbate! It will hurt you!

If i can find a way to tackle the sexual urge i get before masturbation ill be fine. I used to suffer from chronic masturbation and now cut down to once or twice a week. But i want to give this up. Every time i do it i feel isolated, lonely and so angry with myself. I tend to not think about it when i am feeling spiritual and religious. I would also tell a close friend who wouldn't judge me of this issue and he would be keeping track of my progress. This helped a lot, i also made a tally chart and ticked off days where i never masturbated and reward myself with a treat. My next aim would be to keep a fast every time i masturbate.

I started masturbating at a very young age....i can't even remember ...I'm 19 now and i can go a few weeks without it but it has definitely taken a toll on me during sexual intercourse. I feel as though I can barely get it up anymore. I've told myself today and especially after reading these stories that I will not masturbate anymore. My porn days are over. I just hope it's not too late for me to stop....I'm 19...I've basically hit puberty....i'm probably no longer gonna grown and who knows how much masturbating had to do with that . I am done as of today .....I just need strength so that I don't go back to this lifestyle. It consumes you like an addiction. I'm about to quit cold turkey.

brothers, i am 16 years old and haven't masturbated for like 4 and a half months and i finally feel i broke my habit and am enjoying life much more when i started masturbating at age of 13, i just wasted my time, lost energy and started becoming weak and lost interest in studies and all the way up to 16 years of age,, now i am about to turn 17 and hopefully i will never ever masturbate again. I tried and then it even became easier and i never gave up and currently its like almost 5 months, and i feel proud and whatever i did. Don't give up guys trust me, if you want to, and make a promise and tell yourself its possible, i guarantee you will leave this sin i don't know what religion you are from, but praying has helped me a lot i never believed myself, but you really need to, then you can only stop masturbating. i wished i had stopped earlier, but still people now is the time and you are gonna love life, feel better, more confident and much more!!!!! thank you

hello, I started masturbating on April 25, 2006..14yrs. I'm now 22 and I've just gone a day without masturbating I Googled it and came across this site. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to share my problem with people that know what I'm going through. I really want to stop this habit because it's really damaging my relationships with my friends. I constantly want to lock myself up in a room watch porn and jerk off. it's only satisfying for a few minutes then I feel bad afterwards. Initially I used to feel guilty about but I no longer do. If I knew what I was getting myself into I wouldn't have ever done it.I find myself avoiding staying in the same room with a girl, it's really embarrassing to make out with a girl and then having sex is a problem due to erectile dysfunction. Your girlfriend will never live up to the fantasies you see in porn. The more porn you watch the more you crave for crazier videos for a greater satisfaction. Masturbation and pornography have surely damaged me over the years...I consider this a great day as it is my first step towards recovery, I confess that I am an addict and I am 100% ready to leave the life I'm living and become a better person free from this sick addiction.

The first few years were alright, until one day when I was injured at work. I couldn't stop the addiction and it has increased the injuries in my back muscles. I have become fat and out of shape. Later my reproductive system messed up and now my penis can barely get as hard as it used to. I have failed my college life and can barely do physical labor. I have suicidal thoughts everyday, the only thing that stopped me from going through with those thoughts is God. I know I will be free from this addiction and I will get better.
