So I've been batting around the idea of giving up masturbation for a long time now and I was wondering if anyone else has done it or is trying to do it?

I've been masturbating since I was 12 and I'm pretty much a 1-2 time a day guy. I guess that is a lot, I'm not really sure, but most of the time I jack off before I go to bed because it helps me get to sleep. But I have this condition, I think maybe my urethra is irritated or something (just a guess) but 90% of the time after I ejaculate I'll eventually have to go to the bathroom REALLY REALLY badly even if my bladder is empty.

So its kind of a bother. On top of that there is the dependence I have on masturbation to get to sleep (not that I absolutely have to do it but it certainly helps) plus its so damn messy.

I guess if I had a girlfriend I wouldn't have to masturbate but despite being very good looking and being hung I have absolutely no game whatsoever and in general consider dating to be a bother.

The longest I've ever been without masturbating was 6 weeks in basic training for the military because quite simply you just couldn't masturbate, let alone get morning wood or take a shit because you are so stressed out and tense. I remember after all that when I finally could jerk off it was nice, but it was no better than any other time I masturbated.

I guess what I'm saying is anymore, what's the point of masturbation? How do the rest of you all feel on this subject? What advice do you have or do you think I'm just nuts?

I've been masturbating since I was 10. Why would any guy want to stop? I live a normal life. Seperated at moment.... My dick is a huge part of my everyday life...as it should be. I masturbate 2 to 3 times everyday... I love my huge horsecock in my hands and I enjoy edging it for hours.... I have quit for a while , but found that it was really boring...I love to jackoff. I won't stop for no one. Being a nudist dad, I am doing it all the time.lol. If it's a real problem for you then I would say, Stop. If it is running your life and your not getting anything else done, lay off of it a while... Just remember...Why we have cocks for.... To Masturbate....to pleasure ourself at any given moment.... I Love my huge throbbing dripping cock!!!!!:biggrin1:

Don't give up masturbation. Good prostate health calls for frequent ejaculations. Both British and American studies show that men who have ejaculated the most often over their lifetimes are the ones with the least cases of prostate cancer. The two studies recommend masturbating or having sex at least five times a week or twenty-one times a month. You are masturbating about sixty times a month. Go see a good urologist about that burning feeling that you feel after an orgasm. That is not normal to have that feeling. It might be a urinary track infection. The urologist will find it if it is an infection. It is well worth the cost to find out what is wrong.

In my very early teens, masturbation used to make me feel hollow and inhuman. I hated it, and felt like I was addicted, and didn't understand my feelings surrounding it. I just couldn't stop doing it and felt helpless.

When I had a long term (and long distance) girlfriend, we decided to try and "save" our orgasms for each other. I went for a period of about 3 months with no sexual release. It was a bit much, but I was devout. It was enlightening, in many ways, but it was also difficult.

Nowadays, I feel like I understand myself and my sexuality much more in depth. I'm emotionally detached from the act; it feels good, my current (long term, and long distance...sigh) girlfriend doesn't mind, and it allows me to work on lasting longer for when I DO see her. As far as irritation, though, I've never had that. It might be worth consulting a doctor if it persists (can you tell I'm a medical student?).

Just my three cents. :rolleyes:

Giving up masturbation is not a wise choice, for health reasons.

If you have an infection, or irritation, your best bet is to SEE A UROLOGIST.

You may have a tract infection that can easily be cleared up with medication.

The reason why it is not good to stop ejaculating is because it will back up, and cause more problems than it's worth, AND will cause pain.
Ejaculating is a normal male function that will happen either manually, or automatically (wet dreams).

It is NOT a sin to masturbate in the privacy of your room, nor should you feel like you are a disgrace for masturbating.
We all do it.

Why do you think that your urethra is irritated? The only issue that you've said is that you have to pee really badly right after you ejaculate. From what I've read on here in other threads that is pretty common. Of course if there are other things bothering you then by all means get it checked out.

Yes, for 2 weeks when I was 13. It was insane. I had very frighteneing dreams!

I have to cum two or three times a day minimum. It's why I have to come home from work for lunch!

If I don't, I start to lose my feeling of well being, and energy.

A few years ago I heard a doctor talking about how a guy needs to masturbate to ensure that his cock will be working well in later life. He felt that every man needed to have a "good, hard erection" for 15 mins everyday. I'm following his advice. Sex with others is great, but I need to have my time alone too.

There is nothing wrong with giving up masturbation. I found it quite challenging myself.

See a doctor for sure, but it is good to clear your head and give you hands a break for a while.:tongue:

Some bodybuilders hold back on ejaculation to help peak testosterone levels and promote muscle growth naturally without the use of drugs (if they were using steroids they would most probably be impotent) when they hit a plateau!... Some hold back a week (7 days) as some recommend (those that recommend this mention that its pointless to hold back longer as it would be counter-productive from the 8th day on) while others hold back longer... The side effects of doing so are dependent on the person and/or situation: wet dreams, release of sperm via urination or blue balls in such instances I believe would not be uncommon… I am no doctor or specialist for that matter but I would think it wouldn't be healthy! Concerning the urge to urinate immediately following ejaculation... Are you sure your bladder wasn't partially filled with urine?!... 1) Urinate before masturbating... 2) If this problem persists, I would recommend to seek medical evaluation (Urologist), as this can indeed be urinary tract infection!

Be healthy! :smile:

I can certainly see why you'd want to give it up. Takes time and feels dirty. But that would be very tough. I like not doing it for a week or so and then having a long slow session. the orgasm is intense. but if you do try i think it would be like quitting smoking. the first few days would be tough but it would get easier.

There have been times where I went for some time without masturbating or sex of any kind (lack of desire).

I don't know about anyone else, but after about a couple of weeks without release of any kind, ejaculation is intense to the point of being painful (a painful sensation in the meatus). Consequently, even when I didn't feel motivated to masturbate, I made a point to jerk off every couple of weeks, to avoid the unpleasant effect I mentioned.

I'm not sure if this is the 'backup' that was mentioned... but for that reason I wouldn't recommend giving up masturbation altogether. This assumes you don't have a partner, of course :tongue:

I tried this before and then decided it would be better to give up my desire to give up masturbation than it would be to actually give up masturbation. That's worked out splendidly, by the way.
