As long as it's not getting in the way of school/work/social life, it's not too often. Once a day is perfectly normal for an 18-year old guy. Working out won't really help with this -- it boosts your testosterone levels, which can in turn give your libido a boost.
Spending more time with friends and family might help, taking up a hobby can give you something else to do -- or just throw yourself into your studies or work. But seriously, masturbating once a day is nothing to worry about. It's natural and healthy.

First of all, once a day at your age is not out of the norm. Your body is just producing more juice than it knows what to do with. You can either let it stockpile or turn it loose. Stockpiling will only lead to a wet dream, but that's an option.
The good news is that it won't be like this forever. Your libido will taper off throughout your twenties. In the meantime, don't worry about it! If you feel like taking matters into your own hands, go ahead. What's the big deal?
If you're serious about cutting back, the best thing you can do is not subject yourself to enticing images. That means cutting back on even TV channels like MTV. And definitely don't look at adult magazines or websites designed to arouse.
Finally, if all else fails, take a very, very cold shower!
Good luck.

daily masturbation is not too much; in fact it is actually quite common especially amongst teens. Plus, if you did a survey of all the guys your age that you know, I bet you'd find many of them actually do it more than once a day, while other do it less and close to half are on the daily routine. So stop obsessing over what is really a non-issue and relax.

Glue a couple sheets of sandpaper onto your hands.Put your hands in your pockets.Buy yourself a chasity belt and throw away the key.Have a sex change operation.Buy some heavy cloth gloves and wear 24-7.This is just a few of the ways to quit.I dont think you want to quit.You just wanted someone to reafirm that its ok so you wont feel so guilty.Theres nothing to feel guilty about.Havent you heard the old saying."Theres those that do it and then theres those that lie about not doing it.

At the age of 18, it's more than normal to want to masturbate MORE than 1 a day.
You are going through your sexual developmental peak. Don't worry about it, all young men your age are going through the same thing. BTW it is a healthy way to avoid future prostate problems and cancer to ''release" at least once a day. Just wash your hands after.:S
Health.

Once a day isn't THAT often bud. In fact it's probably better for you health and mind-wise to have regular "release."
But if you want less, I guess you can pick up other hobbies besides working out.

Try to look at the same pro next time when you want to do it, and see how many days you can do it until getting bored.
If you can continue to do it for one week, that means you body needs releasing.
If you must find some new pro, that means you just forcing yourself to do it, you are too boring and you just do it to feel less boring, you are addicted.

Ummm...once a day for an 18 year old boy who's not getting any? Sounds reasonable to me. Keep on keepin' on. You're fine.

once a day,is not a problem,i have been masturbating once to twice a day since i was 13,am now 47.And have been happily married for 27yrs now(and love making love to my wife)but seeing yourself naked,and your hand sliding up and down your hard shaft,turns me on.(specially when you have a well toned body)a close second to seeing my wife naked,and making love to her.I am a christian also,its alright to masturbate,as long as you dont fantasise about doing it with other woman etc.Just admire your own nakedness and enjoy making love to yourself.

Masturbation can quickly become a sexual addiction and will lead to more emotional and psychological problems. You are using it as a means to cope with stress in your life.
The reason you are trying to stop is that it makes you feel shame and guilt. This is because you are violating one of God's commandments not to tamper with the powers of procreation for selfish purposes. Try and stay away from lascivious chat sites, movies, books, pornography, and learn to control your thoughts so they don't control you. Sexual addiction is hard to overcome like drugs. Look for more resources to help you in your sexual addiction on the web. Seek out a counselor who will see it as an addiction and who can help you overcome it.
