Answer 1

Well, I don't know if your Muslim or not, but these are some suggestion from the Muslim prospective:

You should make use of the following:

1. Observe fasting, because it bolsters one's faith, preserves chastity, and protects one from evil thoughts.
2. Observe moderation in eating and drinking in order to avoid stimulating your desire.
3. Keep away from anything that is sexually stimulating, such as pornographic pictures, erotic films and love songs.
4. Choose good and righteous friends.
5. Keep yourself busy in worship and spiritual acts.
6. Interact with activities of the society in such away that it keeps you away from thinking about sex.
7. Avoid gatherings and places that bring men and women physically close to each other.
8. Avoid sleeping on beds that are so soft that they make one think about sex.
9. Try to admire natural things such as flowers and beautiful scenery, which do not stimulate one sexually, instead of admiring girls and women.
10. If you find the previous things useful, then it is forbidden for you to masturbate. However, if you find that you cannot relieve yourself except through masturbation, and you fear you may lapse in adultry if you do not masturbate, then the juristic rule which states that "the lesser evil is to be suffered in order to fend off the major one" applies to you, as masturbation is deemed to be the lesser of two evils in this case.But, we would like to stress that this may be done only in the case of dire necessity, when all solutions prove to be of no avail.

May Allah guide you to the right path and help you keep away from sins.

Allah Almighty knows best.

Well, masturbation itself is not wrong, the Bible just calls it unclean... for obvious reasons.

However, excessive masturbation can be considered a problem because like everything else in life, it is in excess and an addiction because you're hooked on the dopamine it causes.

What you can do is first of all, don't beat yourself up over it. It's not a MAJOR problem like serial killing or something. There are many reasons people seek the dopamine. It's usually because they don't feel good about themselves, could be guilt, a deep insecurity, countless reasons both big and small. See if you can find your reason and deal with it. Maybe get an older discreet man you can trust to help you deal with the root cause.

Secondly, be accountable to someone. That means making sure someone's checking up on you. That way, because someone is actually "watching" you, chances are you won't do it. Get someone who is mature, who understands how you feel and won't put you down/make fun of you just because of this.

Thirdly, avoid situations where you'll be tempted to do it. Common sense will tell you that such bad habits could only surface in a certain environment, usually you being alone and perhaps with stimulants nearby (i.e. dirty mags, porn on the net). Clear your room, never stay alone in a place unless you HAVE to, keep yourself busy with other things so you won't have time or energy to even think about the habit.

Hope this helps. Just remember that two and three are only preventive measures. The best is to find out why this behavior prevalent in you and can you work out a way to deal with it.
God bless.

.Nothing wrong with it at all but for some people it is as addictive as heroin is for addicts in that category. The body can become depleted of nutrients and damage to the prostrate can happen. If you are for real about this go get some help. These guys were really suffering couldn't hold down jobs, relationships ...I mean the guys on the documentary I saw on Foxtel last night as a matter of fact

Answer 4

you know why many people have avswered your question? becoz your temptation is common to all. but just becoz it is hard and addictive, it doesn't mean that you are not capable to break free from it. and just becoz it is natural, it doesn,t mean that it is good for you or you cannot alter the situation. i have been there before where you are now. and i thank God he gets me out of the way during those times that i really was in need...

when you talk about masturbation, it is not the beginning to sin but, it is the result. the result of giving in to what your eyes sees and what your heart desires. you see, lust is commiting the forbidden- those that you do in your own way and your own time where in fact, there is a proper timing and way. i tell you, lust will not stop. you may think that after you masturbate, it is finished. no. lust will look for more and will desire for more. and this is the main reason why there are premarital sex, unwanted pregnancies, single parents, broken families, rape cases leading to murders and even just simple reasons as overdoing your body. even just a hint of anything can lead you to sin. so i advise you now to be ready as tell you the standard of purity....

that is, not even a HINT (ephesians 5:3). why? becoz God knows that only a hint of anything lustful or the natural cravings is sin. and it will lead you to more...and i tell you, yup, not even a hint. nada. zero.

this is impossible right? of course it is. that is why you need God. you need to believe that he is you savior and he has forgiven all that you have done. and at the same time. you need to believe that he is the lord and therefore must be folowed for your life and body is not yours. you did not create yourself. i ask you to have "bouncing eyes" to immediately focus on other things the moment you notice something or someone enticeful. and i ask you as well to have "fast feet" to run away from a situation. and above all, i ask you to have a "committed heart" for God that you will love Him only. remember that if you love someone, you will refrain from doing anything that will hurt him/her. God bless you with strength my friend. seek as well the help of friends. i mean, right friends.


and i testify to it not becoz i am strong and good and the temptation is not that strong in my case. but i testify becoz, i am forgiven. i am living a new life and i am excited of the gifts of sexuality that God has given me.


to the pure, everything you see will be pure.
the temptation to masturbate is not an only an issue of self-sontrol, but also of faith.

Answer 5

Two suggestions
(1) Get rid of all pornography that you are exposed to, even if this means installing a filter on your internet. The less external influences you are exposed to the less you will think about it.
(2) Pray to God for help in overcoming this addiction.

Answer 6

It's not masturbation itself its what you do when you are in the act. Normally, when u masturbate you lust over a certain person. Therefore it makes it wrong...lust in ones heart is the same as committing adultery...I don't know what to tell you about stopping...I know its majorly addictive...I have been there...you just got to have will power and the power that only God can give....

Answer 7

well i asked this question as "is it a sin?" the answer i got was no. but lust is a sin. so if you can do it w/o looking at porn or even thinking about it, then you are good to go. its tough though. but possible. if you feel that it is wrong in your heart, then that is what you should go with. (thinking your a Christian) as a Christian, you have a personal relationship with the lord. your not judged on what and how many sins you commited, your judged on your love for God,

Answer 8

isn't it healthy? i don't think you are really addicted to it until you are paying for sex all the time. i go to church...and i don't see a reason to stop. but if you really feel the need to quit...i can't help ya...good luck

Answer 9

everytime you get the feeling to do it, think of how wrong it is, and ask God to help you stop and help you to resist the temptation to do it....it'll be hard but it won't stop immediatly, the temptation will still be just as strong, and there will be times when you fall into that temptation but get back up and keep going, keep trying to stop....you've made the right choice, just don't get frustrated cuz you're not stopping like you want to, it'll take time to learn to resist the temptation....God will help you, i promise!

Answer 10

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with masturbation! Why do you believe this? It hurts no one. It endangers no one. It feels good. It's free. It positively effects the chemical balance in your brain. It helps people refrain from casual sex....I can go on and on about the benefits of masturbation....
