What can I do to better manage my overwhelming sexual desires by my own without a counsellor/psychologist? How can I stop masturbating and stop watching pornography?

If it is not entirely impossible for you to seek some sort of therapy for this, then I highly recommend as it's very difficult to tackle on your own, like any addiction. However if that is not a option for you, the fact you have recognised that this is a overwhelming aspect of your life is the first step. Everyone has sexual desires and wants and needs and it's completely healthy. It becomes unhealthy when you feel it consumes you, as you will always have that urge for something more- more satisfaction and that is where pornography comes in. I think wishing to stop masturbating and stop watching this material may be to far fetched and unrealistic. It's important to look at other aspects of your life, are you lacking in social interaction ? Is your work not how you would like it to be ? Are you looking for some form of escapism ? Really think about this. As if other aspects of your life are not good for you, you'll be more inclined to want to escape for a while and feel good. Gain satisfaction from your work, life experience, relationships. You can eventually Balance things out to a more healthy level.

This is a very difficult thing to deal with, and the first step is to give yourself grace and know that you are not alone. Nearly everyone has sexual desires and it is almost inevitable to give into them at some point. It is crucial to forgive yourself when you give in because shame makes the addiction cycles even worse. Try your best to recognize when you feel those urges the most or what situations may trigger them. Once you know what influences your sexual desires, you can make an effort to avoid those triggers as much as you can. Another thing that can help is reaching out to a trusted friend or mentor, of that is an option for you. Expressing what you are struggling with and getting help from peers is a huge step towards freedom. They may be able to give you tips or keep you accountable. You can try to install pornography blockers to your devices and finding different types of media that you can distract yourself with (such as tv shows, youtube videos, or games).

Managing sexual desire in a healthy way is key. If masturbating and watching porn is getting in the way of your everyday life, then in is important to self reflect and determine why you are filling your time with these things. However, masturbating is completely normal and healthy if it is not impacting your daily responsibilities. Spend some time reflecting on why you want to stop masturbating and watching porn, and then try to determine other activities that could fill that time. In addition, reflect on if you can masturbate in a healthy way. If you're still finding that these are a problem in your life, reaching out to a licensed therapist would be an ideal next step.

I struggle with this too, I've quit watching porn for about 1 year or more now but it was tough! But it is so worth it! You have to start small and reward yourself for the little wins. I think giving up porn is what you want to focus on first. At least that's what I did. You can do this by leaving your phone or laptop somewhere that's not in your room. That way you cannot watch anything. Then you will likely want to masterbate, and that's fine as we are trying to stop the porn-watching first. The longer you go without it the more your dependency on it goes. If you go a month of doing this it will become automatic! Hope this helps. All the best!

There are support groups for people with these addictions. If you are not comfortable joining a groups it might be helpful to have a trusted friend who you can reach out to when you have these urges. It can get your mind off of the urge and help you feel cared for in a different way. Sexual addiction is a form of self medication. Find something else that makes you feel good which is less destructive and give that a go when you would normally being acting out on your urged. Sometimes sexual/porn addiction stems from boredom and then becomes a destructive habit. Treat yourself to other enjoyable things. You got this!

To manage issues like this it takes time to stop and focus on the world again. Remember however that there is nothing wrong with this and it is a phase of growing up, soon you will grow out of it and be able to focus on other things in your life. In the meantime, fill your time with productive tasks that you need to do and distract yourself from those urges.

That is a situation I definitely would not take up on my own. I don't really have any suggestions, I guess because that isn't my area of profession and I do not know much about it. But that is definitely something I would see a counselor about instead of trying to overcome yourself, especially if you are unsure about ways to overcome it.

Investing in other hobbies, going out more, exercising, pursuing the arts. The best way might be to place your devices / use them in front of people so you'll be less likely to watch.

Try to lower your daily dose of Sexuality activity everyday, until you find that you no longer need it. If you can't, try lowering it once a week.

If pornography and masturbation are overtaking your life, they may each be an addiction and in any case, addiction is best treated with professional help as it is very difficult to overcome without a guide.

It can be hard to stop sexual desires but it is possible. Imagine your sexual desires like a bull. A bull is known to be wild and rarely tame but can be calm but sometimes that bull may be always up an running. To calm the "bull" you have to give it time and try to avoid triggering the bull like avoiding porn and anything sexual. It may be hard but you will definetely heal with some effort.

Distracting yourself with other activities and hobbies will help. Taking up hobbies or charity work will mean you have less time to do the things you're trying to stop doing.

It takes a lot of self control, A LOT! Eliminate anything that could cause triggers to masturbate or watch porn, if possible. Otherwise try to find ways to distract yourself. When you want to do it, find something else to do. Try to move your thoughts in another direction, to something productive. Pleasing yourself to some degree is normal and sometimes needed for your health. :) So you could also moderate it, give yourself how many times and for how long you can do it. There are also support groups to help you with it.

What I did was exchange my phone for a flip phone, and delete all my history so I wouldn't be tempted to do it. I also put a password block on those websites, passwords that I would not remember. The mastrubating problem, I have no idea how to.

Just keep yourself busy and physically active, do sports and anything to distract you on your free time

Focus. Make yourself busy by doing hobbies. You can watch movies. Walk at the park. Listen to music. Read a book. Stay away from everything that triggers you to do those things. This will require effort and discipline but, again, FOCUS.

There is lots of things you can do, exercise can be a great way to stop masturbating as it releases feel good chemicals into the brain just as masturbation does. Distractions like art, reading, talking with a friend all can be helpful. It's just about trial and error and what helps you in the long run. If one thing doesn't work try another

Make goals for yourself to slow down. Do not try to go from all to nothing in one night, because that will make things worse. It may take a month, but steadily limit yourself on masturbation per day or week and Porn videos watched per day or week.

There is no actual good reason to stop masturbating. As far as I'm aware there are no negative side effects as long as you do it in a natural way. It even helps release stress. Instead of trying to stop masturbation take some steps toward acceptance. You should feel comfortable with your body and your sexuality. Learn to love your body. Not only will it lead to improved mental health, it can potentially improve your sexual health and your relationships with others. P.S. Don't overdo it though, just do this according to your sex drive and your desires in general. Also a tip for women: I suggest using your hands or a plain regular dildo rather than vibrators or showers. If you stimulate yourself using a vibrator/shower the stimulation is intense and will make you less sensitive. If you are a straight woman, your partner will not be able to stimulate you the same way a vibrator does. However if you like using things other than your hands to stimulate yourselves that's perfectly fine, as long as you're happy. Live for yourself. :) As for pornography, I suggest treating it the same way you would treat an addiction. Try using the 12 step program.

Please refer to a post I just wrote regarding this. Pornography is a very strong addiction. It is like any other addiction in that it is very hard to just stop cold turkey, to say "no, I'm not going to do this anymore", and to move on. It is very hard for anyone struggling with addiction to do any of those things. That being said, pornography is unhealthy, or it was for me, in the sense that it distorted my healthy sexual development because I was introduced to things at a young age that my mind was not prepared to handle. As far as not seeing a psychologist, you are always welcome to talk to anyone who will listen on here, including me. Masturbation, in my opinion, is a normal thing that people do; however, pornography as a means to release, is not healthy. These are only opinions. Feel free to talk to me any time.

Don'ts: 1) stop watching any kind of images that shows women as only focus like porn, movies with Ratings, extreme songs 2) Avoid unappropriated talks 3)don't look women/girls as sexual comdity Do's 1) Try to go for walk everyday for an hour. make it a routine 2)keep yourself busy with work 3)watch healthy content that can build your personality. 4)Remain clean. 5)take bath daily. 6) Eat normal diet. Avoid eating too much of meat. 7) stay positive. 8)Marry if you can. 9)Respect yourself 10) keep your gaze low; stop noticing girls as sexual objects. 11) Respect everyone 12)keep internet speeds low and if you get urge to watch porn get out or sleep, take bath.

Indulge in other activities, like video games.. coz they are very addictive. You can make new friends and talk to em.. you can also do some activities like writing biography or maybe start reading a fiction u like.. You must understand and accept what you are feeling. This will which you wanna implement must be respected and followed. This will help on your self control and also keeps life busy. Maybe go one a trip or outing... Change makes lot of magical things.. change can make a person completely different than the past. I appreciate you have realised and reached out to 7 cups for help😊😊.

First of all, you are not alone in what you are experiencing. In general we all have sexual desires other than a minority of asexuals. This can also apply to mastubating. In general it is not an unhealthy habit for people without partners. Because it can release the sexual tension you might feel and it has other benefits too. The problem comes when you say you are overwhelmed by it. The first and foremost and the easiest way to deal with it is talking to a consultant about it and going step by step to solve it as they are actually trained especially for these cases. But if you dont want to talk to a psychologist, it means you probably are willing to go down the harder path of find a solution by your own. The need to watch pornography and constant masturbation, can both be a habit that needs to be broken and a solution to a situation. For example you might deal with chronic anxiety and this has been a way for you to both release you sexual and mental stress. In any case, the habit you have can not be solely removed, because there is something there causing you to go back to it. Either the cause should be solved and dealt with or it should be replaced by another habit that is as powerful in answering the need, hopefully a positive one.

It is completely healthy and normal to masturbate very so often, it can even improve health. However pornography can often cause unreal expectations and ruin real relationships. I would try to make that your motivation. Also occupying yourself with other activities can help. Try reading books, exercising, picking up a hobby like art or a sport. Also talking to someone every time you have the desire and think about if it is just because you are bored. Stress can also include your sexual drive. Managing it may make a big difference. Maybe try limiting the amount of times you do it per week as a start.

You are not alone in wanting to stop masturbating and watching pornography. These activities can become addictive. Wanting to stop is the first step, and I am confident that, with work and willpower, you will be able to overcome this. I would recommend reading the 7 Cups guide on "Understanding And Overcoming Your Addiction." There are support groups related to masturbation and pornography addiction over the internet, and learning more about them and opening up to them about your struggle can lead you to finding a community of supportive, like-minded people. In the end, it's important to be understanding with yourself. By being more mindful of your activities, and with perseverance, you will be able to overcome this.

One of the strongest tendencies in human biology is sexual desires. It takes considerable amount of focus,time and energy to overcome such desires. Having sexual desires and masturbation simply means you are redirecting your major energy towards such stuff. It means you are getting nothing in return. That's the first thing you need to realize. The second one is the types of food you take. You must understand, there are some kinds of foods which are culprits for those excessive thoughts. So know which foods encourage those desires and avoid them. You can go to quickglance123 blog there you can find articles. Some may get doubt that why the sexual part is there in world. It's just solely intended to generate off springs , nothing more than that. The last activity is to try to divert the energy to other areas. The most successful area opposite to sexual desires is spirituality. It's not about beleif or something. But when you start investing your energy into spirituality like yoga, mediation , books like autobiography of yogi , when you focus on such things automatically those desires will vanish. As I said earlier, it will definitely takes time and effort. You may fail in between. Don't disappoint , be consistent in diverting focus. Gradually you will attain mastery.

You have to try to be busy or at least not be alone. Its a lot like a brain game. You have to pay close attention to your thoughts and be vary of any thoughts related to sexuality. Try mindfulness exercises for that. Also it will probably be harder in beginning so you also need accept your failures and there will be lot of them. You might also need to find good reasoning for strengthening your intention of avoiding those activities and thoughts. It is completely possible and achievable and you can do this. You will have to believe in yourself.

There's nothing wrong about some masturbating and porn, especially if you are a curious young teen who has just started to explore their sexuality. If you feel like your desires are really getting on your nerves in everyday life, just try to distract yourself from them by filling your time with some nice interesting activities, hobbies, friends, adventures, music, movies, books, sports, activities, there are so many things that can be exciting enough to get your mind off of unwanted thoughts. Simply make sure that your days are filled with interesting things and there's the right amount of room for healthy sexuality in your life.

this is perfectly normal for everyone to experience, okay? everyone goes through this stage in life, so there's nothing to be ashamed of. however, if this habit of yours is getting out of hand and affecting your life, or if it's borderline illegal and creepy, then it would be a good time to stop, and it's great that you acknowledge that. stopping is really hard, I will admit that, but most people watch it because they're bored. I would suggest finding something else to occupy your time. You could find a new hobby like going for a walk or doing exercise or reading and all that. The possibilities are endless. by finding something else to occupy your free time, you will have less time to think about watching porn and gradually, those thoughts will leave your mind altogether. sure, you may experience moments of weakness and temptation and it's easy to relapse, but you are strong and you can do this!! don't fall back into the pit after you had come so far. let's get it!

If you believe that masturbating and watching pornography is truly harming you, then acknowledging that fact is the first step of management. And if you are reading this, then congratulations! Because you are half-way there. One of the best ways to reduce the occurrence of certain behaviors is to set goals for yourself to avoid indulging in said behavior. Keep yourself busy or you may even try channeling that energy in some other aspect of your life. Take up a new hobby. Practice self-control by talking yourself out of such situations, and award yourself when you have successfully done so.
