Congratulations on taking the first step. Our aim from here is to give you the understanding, the tools and the support to successfully begin the process of overcoming your personal Masturbation Pornography Addiction. These steps should assist.
1). Make a decision as to whether or not you should be worried about how much you masturbate. It becomes a concern when it negatively affects your life and relationships on a daily basis. It might be time to change your behavior if masturbating is consuming time that could be used to complete other more important tasks.
2). You should try to find the cause. You will need to try and figure out the reasons why you masturbate too much. If you only try to stop masturbating, then you will have a high rate of relapse. So, do you know why you masturbate? You might find that you masturbate out of boredom, to relieve stress, or because you are lonely. Relax and begin to think of why you feel the need to masturbate. What are you attempting to escape from? Try not to focus on symptoms. The real reason why you masturbate too much is not because it produces pleasurable feelings. Look deep inside yourself. You may need therapy to help you understand your emotions.
3). Learn to deal with your feelings. Finding a proper way to manage your feelings may be a skill you no longer have, or perhaps have not learned yet. What we feel comes from our thoughts. Our feelings are determined by how we interpret the world. You determine how you feel. Masturbating because you are bored is because you made the decision to feel bored. Nobody makes you feel as if you are bored. You did it yourself.
4). Excessive masturbation is broken by changing your thoughts. You cannot allow yourself to think of masturbation as the solution to your problems. Learn to enjoy your life more, and you will find you won’t want to masturbate as much.
5). Figure out the parts of the day that cause the biggest problem. Finding the times throughout the day that are the biggest struggle can help your overcome your addiction to masturbation. Create a plan to deal with the times where you struggle the most, like if you struggle when laying down at night, do not lay down until you are ready to go to bed. You should try to burn testosterone by exercising. Exercise may help you relax and doze off faster. Find the times and locations of where you struggle the most.
6). Try to think of some ways you can make a new and better you everyday. You will be more confident and outgoing. You must change the way you think everyday. You will become happy with yourself even if it seems strange to begin with.
7). Alter your habits. If you continue to spend a great deal of time in the bedroom watching pornography alone, it will be impossible to overcome an addiction to masturbation. Make yourself leave the house and meet people. Try to find another way to release sexual tension, and try to make healthy relationships with others.
8). Have an alternative plan. It is important to have a plan of something else to do when the temptation to masturbate becomes too much. Masturbation thoughts can be broken by snapping a rubber band. Hurting yourself is not the point, but getting your mind off of the possibility of masturbating is.
Tips
- Exercise and burn energy, first, if you typically want to masturbate when you go to bed.
Don’t give up! You may need help, but try to think positive and believe that you can and WILL be able to give up the addiction. - Remember that the problem is in your mind, and you can simply replace your thoughts with others, if you so desire. You possess the power to stop it.
- Placing your computer in a public room where other people are able to see you can help you with masturbating while watching porn on your computer.
- You might want to think about adding software to block the use of porn. Even if you know the password to stop the software, having it pop up will force you to think about doing something else.
Warnings
- Masturbation is not evil or harmful, and you shouldn’t think it is. This is not the case
- Don’t try to avoid masturbating forever, just try to limit the number of times you try it so you can still have social interactions.
- Do not forget that masturbation can be good for you because it can remove undesired substances through ejaculation.
Addictions like drug and alcohol addictions are fairly well understood by the general public and by the therapists that administer the multi-dimensional treatment programs. Unfortunately, sexual addictions, which are just as powerful, just as dangerous and just as difficult to overcome as these better known addictions, are not as clearly understood. In short, the lack of awareness about the symptoms, risks, effects and causes of personal sexual addictions like pornography and masturbation dependencies has allowed the spread of these compulsive disorders.
Infidelity, high sex drive and nymphomania are treatable and are deemed more socially acceptable sexual addictions than either masturbation or pornography addiction. As a result, therapies have been developed to specifically treat these sexual-social addictions.
Persons facing masturbation or pornography addictions often do not know where to turn. That is why we have compiled a free and very helpful eBook entitled How to Stop Masturbation – 8 step eBook. By entering your confidential e-mail address in the top left corner of this screen, you can immediately receive a printable version of this informative book. Learn everything you should know about pornography and masturbation addiction. You are not alone.
To clarify sexual addictions, let’s understand that the addiction does not necessarily mean having sex with a partner. Sexual addiction refers to any addiction pertaining to the sexual organs.
One of the reasons sex is such a powerful, personal experience is that it creates a bond between partners. Basically, man is born to bond in order to recreate. Living in a world devoid of true bonding and filled with sexual fantasy is equivalent to continuing to use drugs even though the person knows the drugs are consuming them. Living with fantasy addictions, the only sexual bond exists in a world of fantasy.
In dealing with the conversion away from the fantasy life to a positive, real-world sexual presence, progress can be slow. As with other dependencies, there always exists the possibility of relapse. One day can be easy, the next difficult.
The individual may have to change living, lounging, school and work habits. Even then, the all or nothing approach assures no guarantees. The ready availability of pornographic materials certainly is a detriment to recovery, but that is the society we live in today. When most persons make the commitment to treatment for these personal addictions, they have resolved that change is necessary.
Many recovered sexual addicts support a more gradual “detoxification” program as the more sustainable option. As the recovering addict tastes success, the thirst for more success and larger successes elevates. Part of every rehabilitation program involves setbacks.
Be prepared. Do not be afraid to seek professional counseling or spiritual advice. Alternative exercise therapies have also proven to be especially effective in building a lasting independence from sexual addiction.
Whatever options you choose, the time to start treatment for these consuming, life-altering dependencies is now. Please read our free eBook today.
Successful treatment for pornography and masturbation addiction requires a committed individual who is unafraid, or better yet inspired, for some fairly dramatic changes. These changes will involve personal choices, relationship choices and accessory limitations. Some will be easy. Some will be difficult. All will be worthwhile.
Once you or someone you know decides to be free of these demanding, consuming addictions, the easiest changes are material. An individual can alter their external environment quite easily. Filtering programs can help block online porn, the addict can decide to only use the computer in the company of another or the computer can be turned off at night with no access after a determined hour. These little steps will help but will not provide a magical cure.
We know that businesses are aggressively filtering sites at the workplace. We know that schools are constantly monitoring their traffic. While there exists a great big world of online pornography out there, activity at these sites does not go unnoticed.
Changing the external fantasy attractions begins the recovering addict on the road to rehab. Yet, there is so much more to do, so much more to know and so many questions to be answered. There are many symptoms, temptations and effects that addicts must come to understand. You can learn about these symptoms and all treatment options with our useful and free eBook How to Stop Masturbation – 8 step eBook.

Many persons resist therapy for masturbation and porn addiction because they do not consider it serious, or because, unlike other sexual addictions, these dependencies are not publicized. Do not be fooled. Masturbation and pornographic addictions change lives, cost money, involve legal issues and destroy professional careers. And, the destruction can happen quickly, almost overnight.
One day you are at the office apparently doing your online work and the next you are gone, labeled as an online porn addict. Friends, family and co-workers might be shocked. The reality is that you knew it would happen. You knew that you had lost control of your sexual addiction and you failed to address the problem.
And, self-control has a lot to do with your ability to face and overcome your sexual addictions. It is time to get real. Pornography and masturbation addiction are depressant addictions. You trade a moment of fantasy in exchange for reality. The short-term sensation succumbs to guilt, secretiveness, even shame.
Is that the way you really want to live? Ducking into the computer for a quick sneak preview? Hurting those around you? Risking your career and place in society? Who are you kidding?

Long a scene thought to be enmeshed in the male experience, masturbation and pornography addiction take no prisoners. No matter your gender, age or relationship status, you or someone you know can fall prey to these highly personal, hard-to-discuss addictions. And, if you are embroiled in the personal turmoil that accompanies theses sexual dependencies, you know how difficult they are to stop.
Statisticians from DivorceWizards.com and Today’s Christian Women tell us that:
- 28 percent of women interviewed admitted to a sexual addiction
- 43 percent of American women suffer from sexual dysfunction
- 34 percent of women admitted to intentionally accessing Internet porn
- A startling 76 percent on Internet initiated sexual exploitation cases involved young children
- 75 percent of those incidents involved girls aged 13-15
Pornography addiction is dangerous. Masturbation addiction and pornography addictions tend to feed off each other and take addicts to unfamiliar and unanticipated territory. For partners, the use of these fantasies actually diminishes the intimacy of intercourse.
- 41 percent of surveyed adults admitted they felt less attractive because of their partner’s use of pornography
- 42 percent of interviewed partner said the use of pornography made them feel less secure with their partner.
The problem for both men and women is that these personal addictions escalate rapidly. Soon, masturbation is viewed as a form of instant relief from stress, strained relations or even financial difficulties. In truth, masturbation yields a diminished short-term result and leaves behind three things:
- A sense of loneliness
- Self doubt
- A brief neurochemical sensation emitted to the brain
Upon completion, the same problems exist that contributed to the act. The male or female has simply given in to one more brief and impulsive urge. Gone is self-control. Gone is reality. Present are the same conditions that caused the act.
Around the globe, it is estimated that 20 percent of women struggle with porn addiction. One in every three visitors to online porn sites is female. More than 10 million women access adult web sites at least once a month. So, let’s be real. Porn addiction and masturbation addiction are not male exclusive. In fact, these addictions can be signals for other, underlying emotions. Isn’t it time to take action.

The more silent, less visible masturbation addiction affects millions of women around the world. While young boys may begin to play with themselves and experiment even before puberty, young girls usually wait until reaching the menstrual cycle. Girls typically mature faster than boys and often face tempting fantasies at an earlier age.
Even then, most women read or are instructed about masturbation before they commence self-exploration. Children who masturbate should not be advised of old wife’s tales and folklore about the age-old practice. What children do need to know is that masturbation can evolve into a lonely, isolated addiction where the real world is replaced by a world of fantasy and risk.
Of course, no dependency is as simple as that. The symptoms of masturbation addiction are serious, carry emotional ties and build scars that need to be treated. There is much to learn about the ageless, non-gender specific masturbation addiction.

Many women attribute the growth of female masturbation with the release of Betty Freidan’s book “The Feminine Mystique,” released in 1963. Friedan took women’s liberation to the highest level, suggesting that men were not needed in order to enjoy sex. Friedan’s theory is based upon the location of the magical “G spot to which every woman reacts differently. Friedan’s theory seems to promote the pursuit of a meaningful masturbation event.
Is that what sexual intercourse is to you? Masturbation may provide a short-term relief from anxiety, stress, ease the menstrual cramps and even facilitate sleep, but it is a far cry from intercourse. Masturbation also tends to lead to other addictions, the most common being pornography.
When masturbation begins to interfere with your life, you will realize the self-control that you have forfeited. Your self-confidence will be low and your relationship will falter. The process is destructive and inevitable.
Excessive masturbation can also cause sexual dysfunction. Reaching orgasm can be a premature experience for men and an impossible result for women who are accustomed to stimulating themselves. And, sexual partners notice these inconsistencies. In fact, they are turned away from a removed sexual experience.
Isn’t it time you faced your masturbation addiction and became the partner you always wanted to be? Your life is ahead, not behind. Check out our free booklet and learn what you need to know to put your life back on a positive path.

Most males begin to masturbate between the ages of 14 and 16. Women progress a bit more rapidly and can initiate masturbation after menstruation between the ages of 12 and 15. The majority of people have masturbated during their life. The reasons are sexual and emotional and the body’s natural attraction to pleasure.
In recent years, an abundance of pornography and especially online pornography has helped to elevate the reported instances of both online porn addiction and masturbation addiction. These two fantasy-based sexual addictions may be the source of humor in frat and sorority houses or in school classrooms but in the real world and especially in the real working world, bad things happen to masturbation and pornography addicts.
What sufferers do not realize about sexual addictions is that these dependencies are chemical as well as emotional. The modern world surrounds us all with fantasies. Every television show, millions of web pages, films, books and even newspapers realize that sex sells. Tempting fantasies are thrust upon us at an unfathomable pace.
The act of masturbation is the fondling of one’s sexual organs, primarily the penis or vagina. As socially unacceptable, masturbation occurs in private settings. The addict tends to become aloof and introverted and may not even be aware of these subtle changes. Yet, people close to the addict are very aware of the changes.
- More than 15 percent of online porn addicts develop sexual behaviors that disrupt their lives.
- 49 percent of the partners of masturbation addict reported that their attitude about sex had changed.
Usually people masturbate when they are alone, stressed or conflicted. They are attempting a sensual distraction. What in fact they receive may be different. Masturbation is usually followed by a period of loneliness and self-doubt. Recent research indicates that many seniors still rely upon masturbation as a substitute for intercourse. Masturbation addiction has no age barriers.
Often people resort to masturbation because they are not satisfied with partnered sex. Sufferers from masturbation addiction often prematurely ejaculate. They lose control of their emotions and their fantasies. However, once the brain experiences the neurochemical stimulation of an orgasm, it pushes for more. Suddenly, masturbation becomes all consuming, a sensation the sufferer must complete at any time of any day, whenever the fantasy arises.
In addition to possible bacteria and other health issues, masturbation addiction’s greatest risk is that it will want to be kept re-supplied with greater risks, greater fantasies. Many masturbation addicts may also feel the need to address underlying diagnoses.
