Masturbation is definitely not harmful. In fact, it has many benefits, such as preventing prostatic congestion ("blue balls") and prostate cancer.
Although masturbation is not harmful in regular intervals (I'd say once a day), it can be harmful if you do it more often, in that it can cause physical irritation, and can be become an addiction when it starts becoming more important than everything else in your life.
I can't give you any advice on how to quit, but I hope I have helped in some way.

Masterbating is a normal and healthy activity. However, just like anything else we do in life masterbation should be done in moderation.
You may want to start by trying to identify what triggers your masterbation. Is it boredom? Stress? Extra energy? Anger?
Perhaps you might not find masterbation so tormenting or stressful if you could focus on other things.
For instance, if you're able, consider excercising more often, play the drums, guitar, foosball, take up running, learn HTML, or even Yoga, and also do some 3rd-party research about masterbation (for the time being leave out your pastor, brothers, and immature buddies and get some legitimate info from the Web and a real library.
You may then find your mind occupied with your new activities or your mind and body beginning to relax and that, my friend, may give you an edge in masterbation control, discipline, and enjoyment.
Good luck!

Set some goals for yourself. Why do you want to stop? And what ARE you getting from it, besides an instance of pleasure. Masturbation isn't HARMFUL, but it does affect your bodily functions if performed too often. Loss of sleep, uncomfortable sleep, loss of full physical strength, ED(Erectile Dysfunction-hard to keep an erection,if achieve one at all) ,"arrive early" while aroused.. also back problems come from excessive masturbation. Masturbation slowly drains the fluid in your spinal cord, causing an aching back... and the list goes on... these situations however only affect the individual if masturbation is performed too often.
Search "Dr.Lin" for advice and more information.
One thing very useful, fairly intense physical activities usually consume most of your hormones, reducing your chances of getting aroused and other things leading up to masturbation.
A cool shower never hurts;), eat HEALTHY and get outside.

Masturbation is not harmful in any way. It is totally normal and healthy. Like anything else, if you do it in a way that hurts, or so often that it interferes with the rest of your life, or in inappropriate locations THEN you have a problem. Otherwise, enjoy!

Well no masturbation isn't harmful, but it can be if it is done to much or to often. Also you don't really quit masturbating you just stop, but there can be addictions. In which case you should not do it as often or quit all together. The choice is yours.

There are many health benefits to regular masturbation for men, as long as it is not excessive (interfering with your life) there is no need to quit! There is no set way to "quit" masturbation, but if you honestly feel that it is an addiction maybe seeking therapy would be a good option for you.

contrary to what most people say it can be harmful the question is how often do you masturbate? the more you do the more likely you will get harmed one thing is lack of energy and there is also desensitization in which you can no longer stimulate your self enough to orgasm and such so I do tell you to be a moderate masturbater you don't have to stop but don't do it often

Write the correct spelling
MASTURBATION
1000 times. Your hands will need to rest after that.
(No, masturbation is not harmful. Just don't lock yourself in your room and make it the only reason for your existence. Be with friends and family and enjoy life.)

Not if you're single... It can be harmful to your future sexual love relationships if you are relying on a fantasy or pornographic images to get satisfied (because you become conditioned to need that), it can be harmful if you are neglecting other things in order to masturbate, and it can be harmful to a relationship if it is taking up sexual energy that you should be sharing with your partner. Otherwise, **** on! No need to quit.
