how can I abstain from masturbating?

Question

I'm single but masturbation makes me feel guilty

Answer 1

Get a girlfriend!

Answer 2

By all means, abstain from feeling guilty about it. It's natural to have the urge for sexual gratification. But if you don't do anything else in your life, it may be the only thing that gets your heart pumping or whatever, so you can take it to the level of abuse, which cannot be good for you. If you feel like you do it at an abuse level, well, just stop doing it and find a partner to be intimate with. It's kind of like asking how to make your heart stop beating because you're annoyed with it--ain't gonna happen.
But if you have a hobby or sport you can get more involved with, maybe the urge won't 'come up' so often.
The old-fashioned thing to do was to take a cold shower, so try that.

Answer 3

RE: Best way to abstain from masturbating? I'm tired of doing it and I don't feel good after doing it; I feel like I'm guilty of something for some reason. I still have fun with it though but I think I need to stop. The longest I've gone w/o masturbating has probably been 3-4 days since I was 11 (now 16). I feel that...

Answer 4

I don't know if you are male or female, but just know that masterbation is very normal. And since you are single, and probably not forefilling your sexual desires anywhere else, materbation is probably safer than anything else like escorts, prositutes, one night stands, etc. You know you can't contract an STD by masterbating (HIV/AIDS, Herpes, Genital Warts, etc). So I would suggest not feeling guilty if you do it. But if you just have to stop, then try taking sleeping pills like unisom to go to sleep, or find a hobby, when you get the urge to masterbate, then go do your hobby.

Answer 5

Masturbation shouldn't make you feel guilty at all- single or not.

Answer 6

Sex outside marriage is supposed to make you feel guilty, assuming you are a normal run of the mill kind of feller, don't feel bad about a little one two on your own!!!

Answer 7

It's a common thing to do, so don't feel guilty.

But if you really want to stop, everytime you feel like it, think about doing something else to keep you busy, like going outside, working on your house, and playing sports(this is good it releases your frustrations).

If that doesn't work, think about thinks that make you gross out, when you feel like masturbating.

Answer 8

Answer 9

First, why would you want to?

Second, are you sure you are feeling guilty, or are you really feeling down because you are single and feel this is the only way you are ever going to be able to get off anymore?

Third, why would you want to?

Answer 10

If you want to stop, then do it. However by masturbating, you are eliminating an urge which could, if allowed to continue, get you in real trouble.

Answer 11

Everyone does it or has done it in one point in there life if they said they haven't thats a flat out lie. I say more power to you and if you like it there should be not guilt in it. My partner enjoys it and joins in at times too and it leads to even better things.
