I cant stop touching myself! Besides cutting off my hands and bits and pieces, anyone have any ideas on how to control this habit?

Well these answers haven't been very helpful at all. First of all- touching yourself is a normal thing that everyone does (whether they admit it or not is a different story). It's a safe way to find pleasure etc. better you touching yourself a lot than going out and sleeping around and getting in to bigger trouble. Second of all - how old are you? Cause you could just be going through a hormonal phase. I would start to worry if you weren't able to leave your house or accomplish anything because of it. Or if you were not able to control it in public- cause that could get you in to trouble.
So you have to decide if this is a phase (e.g., it's normal for a teenage boy to have raging hormones) and then how much it is interfering in your life. The only other things I can suggest is cold showers, thinking about things that really turn you off etc. If it's really a big problem then i would suggest talking to someone about it that you trust.

This is an activity that boosts the brain's serotonin levels. It can be an addiction, like alcohol, cigarettes, shopping, gambling, etc. The same thing that helps other addictions can help this if it's really interfering with your normal life. See your doctor for a prescription to an SSRI. These meds are called antidepressants, but they're not just for "depressed" people. They're for anyone who's self medicating with addictive behaviors to get their serotonin levels up. The medicine will help the impulse to over do these actions. It will help you with other symptoms too.
