How do I stop wanting to masturbate? I'm religious, and the thought is disgraceful and immoral, but also somewhat liberating in its sinfulness, and I want it to stop. It's been 3 days since I last did it and I feel like I will relapse.

it's a biological need

It may be, but I want it to affect me as little as possible.

Really OP masterbating one or twice a day is very normal and healthy. Good stress reliever. It only becomes and issue if you are doing it an excessive amount daily and it becomes an obsession.

Fellow addict here, going on day 5.
My main motivation is the fact that the more you do it the less enjoyable it feels as you have noticed yourself probably
In my case I was in state where I would start jerking off just because I didn't have anything to do.
My main motivation is to reset my brain and regain the joy I used to feel while masturbating.

then stop touching your penis

Drop your dum religion its 2k17+1 anyway

You see, I wouldn't say I was fully addicted because addiction implies that you do it constantly. I did it maybe once every other day, but now I want to stop it. It may be a biological need, but so is hunger, and that doesn't mean you should steal food when hungry, and it may be good at relieving stress, but so is breaking things and letting your anger out on people.
It's a toxic habit. I mainly want to quit due to religious reasons.

Why drop the thing that's a natural release for your body, instead of dropping the thing that makes you feel guilty about getting a natural release for your body?

Because what makes me feel guilty about doing something which I percieve to be wrong (i.e faith in God) also makes me feel joyful, safe and purposeful. If I were to choose between dropping that which I think is true, and masturbating like an animal, I would drop the latter.

It's not.

you are an animal suck it up. you share common needs with other mammals like need for food, safety, status in your tribe shitting and yes even sex. your religion is a scam to make you not want to unsubcribe

It is, that's why "wet dreams" or "nocturnal emissions" are or at least were a thing up until the like 1960s until masturbation stopped being pretty much illegal with most people. If you don't masturbate ever and just rely on your body ejaculating by itself at night then your dick is going to get in the way of like going to school and being an efficient employee because you can't want around with a hard dick and be thinking of tits all the time.

If you don't release your cum in a controlled setting, you're just gonna ruin your sheets one night. Just treat it like the medical condition that it is. When you're cleaning your dick in the shower you may as well clean out your nuts. Rub one out in the shower like once a day or once every two days whatever depends on how young you are. You're not looking at porn or anything you're just like blowing your nose. it's something that needs to be done sooner rather than later.

Sexual release is a maybe biological need, but then again, look at monks.

But beating your dick into submission and developing a porn addiction is not normal.

>but then again, look at monks.

monks and priests and the whole scandal of them raping little boys all the time all over the world, sure

>developing a porn addiction is not normal.

I agree, I haven't watched porn in years but I still beat off when my dick gets in the way. I feel sorry/worried for kids who are now teens or even in their 20s and grew up watching internet porn when they were like 8 years old or whatever.

Monks aren't rapists, or at least I've never heard anything about that. Priests are because the Catholic Church is corrupt as fuck.

Also:

Hey, that's me! I'm 19 and started watching porn when I was 10, saw it for the first time when I was 5 (it was an accident to be fair, though). I just made the decision to recently quit because I realized it had started fucking with my standards and expectations of the female body.

2 things.

Does it say in the bible that masturbating is wrong?

Why would god make you want to do something, make it feel good, and then say 'hey, don't do that thing i made feel good' just as a test?

Lastly, does god know everything? so then does god know how it feels to have a dick up his ass?

I am a "secular Christian" of sorts. First, completely quit porn because that is seriously just demented and awful for your brain. Second, God wants you to avoid masturbating and avoid promiscuity because he wants you to use your powerful sexual drive to ramp up your stakes in finding a Christian wife when you are young so you can build a family with her and achieve true happiness, and not to waste it garnering STDs and conceiving children with whores who do not respect you and will not make good mothers to your progeny.

Increase your attendance to 18-35 Single Christian Social Groups at your Church or try another if they don't have any. Work out, eat and sleep right, clean your room and get your finances in order; harness that youthful energy, and you could be married to a wonderful woman.

Ive been in your place i was a pretty hardcore christian at the time now im agnostic i accepted the temptations and sexual desires as a part of myself and in doing so stopped feeling bad about it and even gained some sense of control over it i still jerked it twice a day. But i felt in control. Now im married and dont have time to jerk it.

masturbating is good for you, boosts your immune system and improves your sex drive. On the other hand if you're doing it so much that it interrupts everyday life then you have a problem. Other than that you seem normal
