I feel guilty when I watch porn or when I masturbate, so I desperately want to stop, but I can't stop myself. When I'm alone, the temptation gets the better of me and despite my best efforts I can't stop. I need some advice on how to stop.
Please don't suggest telling someone (for accountability) b/c I find my habit despicable and don't want others (especially someone I know well) to know.

Try not to be 'Alone' long enough to do it.

It's just like any other addiction really, you have to really want to quit before it'll work.
With most things there's usually a "rock bottom" where realize what you're doing to yourself and stop. With porn it's much the same, except that rock bottom is a bit different. You have to reach a point where you're disgusted enough with yourself that you really make the effort to stop. Either you'll find that you are turning down real sex for porn, or you'll find yourself enjoying porn you would normally find disgusting. At that point, you'll quit, at least for a while.
The other possibility is that you can convince yourself that you really don't want to go that far and stop before it gets that bad.
Good luck.

Wow...this is actually a very common practice amongst young males. So don't lose sleep over it too much. Try keeping yourself busy as much as possible and also try to be around people as much as you can.
You could try to move your computer in a public area of your home so that you don't have the ability to look up porn. I'm assuming you are looking up internet porn.

Masterbation is normal, porn is something to check out to get it up. Perfectly normal dude why do you think the 80% of the internet is porn.
If you have a GF / wife and she isn't putting out enough then it better to do that then to cheat.
So quit feeling guilty and stroke away

I'm too prudish to watch porn, but it sure sounds like you are having a good time and not hurting anyone.
Maybe it is best to stop or maybe it is best to deal with your guilt. Sexual activity helps improve depression, so maybe you have an underlying condition that needs to be dealt with first.

well i agree you have a problem.
first if u find ur self alone i would take a walk make sure you leave the house.
Destroy ur mastrubating items.
block ur porno sites and get child protection on there.
tell some one close to you so they can help you by setting passcodes on the comp.
or tell ur parents that u want to spend less tim eon the comp/tv so ask them to put a block password over it unless they sit there with you

Masturbation is a natural human urge. Masturbating is not a sin. masturbation is perfectly normal. 9 out of 10 guys do it. dont feel bad about it.

OH just quit it!!! Who have you been listening to anyway. Porn may be addicting, but masterbation, is just part of life!! 2 types of people, those who do&those who lie about it!! It is the SAFEST SEX you'll ever have, not as fulfilling. But your day will come!!

ok and your different from the world how?
and you wana stop why?
masturbation is natural... and porn is just a way of making it better. i find my self too busy these days. with my friends school, and like just normal life, i dont really got time to do it. maybe sometimes at night. idk but w.e
as for stopping it idk just block the sites tell one of your friends (im pretty sure you dont want your parents to know) to blok the sites... and idk just keep yourself around ppl or just keep yourself busy. like i go out with friends to go play some bball or handball then go watch a movie then go out to eat somewhere and my whole day goes by.
