      You're all mentally ill. Seriously. Not because you're masturbating but because you all seem to think that it's "wrong" or harmful. It's NORMAL human behaviour! Stop worrying, carry on without guilt and enjoy your lives.

    @kaneaftopouagapas3798 Před 3 lety +652

    At 20 years old I said to myself I was gonna stop masturbating. I’ll be 30 by the end of the year and I still grapple with this addiction. I’ll go 3-4 weeks in a row without it and my life is so pure, genuine and I’m in greater touch with my creator. Then I relapse, and I find myself for 2 weeks straight having suicidal fantasies, throwing discipline to the wind, gaining weight and being filled with resentment and anger towards my upbringing for the household I grew up in, like how I’ve currently been for the last 10+ days. I can I will I MUST get this part of my life handled. To anyone reading this, I truly hope you find yourself in touch with who you truly are meant to be, and have the strength and courage to live that out for the rest of your life.
    God bless

My life was all great I was talking very genuinely to girls getting nice dates. Then bam the train it happens. I lose my patience, argue a ton, which hurts me a ton and the only person I have to blame is myself your comment has helped me so much mentally I thank you so much.

      I just failed yesterday but today my strength is renewed and the fact that we are here and watching this video is proof we are serious about getting over this addiction. My God helped me quit weed, tobacco, alcohol, fast food and many other things so he will help me with this as well. I do feel a strong sense of guilt after I masturbate and feel like I have failed my creator. I'm working on it but we need to give this problem to God to help us. If we go on our own strength we will fail.

    im a 23 year old man and ive always thought i was to smart for addiction and over the past few years ive started to realize im not "too smart" for addiction because im SEVERLY addicted to masturbation and ive come to realize how much this addiction is fucking over my life i used to play games and watch movies, tv shows, anime etc and over these past few years ive stopped liking those things almost entirely
    that's it i have to beat this addiction because ive always hated myself cause i was extremely depressed but this year because ive been going to the gym and working on myself ive actually started loving myself again since at least middle school but with my addiction constantly taking over my life i cant progress anymore so today im GOING to stop it because i NEED to
    anyway thank you for this video even if you never read this comment and if anyone wants to please pray for me cause im most DEFINATLY going to need it this addiction is STRONG

      The internet tracks your moves every single thing you do in your life, now it’s easy on the same phone cuz since you just typed your favorite porn site and then went back to CZcams inorder to search for something else, it automatically recommends you to a related stuff bout what you were searching for online, look forget bout searching online have you ever imagine why Socail media recommended to you some phones to buy or something you really wanted but wonders how they knew it? Well they track not only your internet movement but your physical movement, if you hold your phone on your hand and you just talking to a friend bout how you wanted to buy an IPhone and an hour later you get Ads or recommendations bout the phone and you wonder how? That’s it they track your movement even stuff that you say even if your phone is off it’s listening to what’s over you are saying and the camera never sleeps 🛌 shit is crazy bro we live in the world where global surveillance is more important than personal privacy.. NSS have your nude pictures that you deleted from your phone for security purposes and for blackmailing specially when you are a celebrity

    I’ve been trying to stop for years and I think I’m finally going to reach out and tell someone about it. I’ve always thought about and that’s it but it’s really become a problem in my life. I want to do other things but I can’t enjoy them when I know I’m doing all these bad and horrible things. It’s like a weights on my back and the thought of “if everyone knew what you’ve done would they treat you differently” it crosses my mind so often and it’s just a hassle. I’m putting this here for some sort of accountability I guess not to sure. I just needed to lay my emotions onto the internet. I hope I won’t have to come back to this video and I’ll be able to move on with my life.

    Day 1: I feel fine, but a very slight urge
    Day 2: I got a couple of urges but the rubber band thing helped a lot
    Day 3: Got a really big urge but I controlled it by rubber bands
    Day 4: I was urging bad but I somehow controlled. Idk if I can last another day
    Day 5: starting to lose urge. I feel better

    I have an addiction. Like most of you, i've come to this video for help. I am so confused in this time, in where I can't seem to stop with my porn/masturbating addiction. I have become ashamed of who I am, and keep relapsing. But, tommorow, i will fight for my life, and fight for control of who I am, not ketting Satan take me down to the gates of heck. I am sick abd tired of who I have become, but I will change it, abd try my hardest. God bless all of you, and i wish for all of you to overcome your challenges with this addiction!

First off, Once i turn off the "show explicit content" or disable my youtube app to stop the sources of my addiction.. i would just reenable these options when i get an urge. Second, Im too scared to talk to a family member nor to a friend about this because im a bit young and im afraid that they will think im a bad child. Third, I would always look at YT videos on how to stop this addiction.. but none really seemed to work.

      @@tir9767 The best solution would be to talk to someone about this, someone who can encourage you and hold you accountable to do better.
      You can ask your parents to control your app features and that you only watch positive things on CZcams since it isn't all positive.
      You could also talk to a youth pastor or school counselor since they are more confidential.

      @@tir9767 hey, I know how it feels, I am 15 and struggle too. One thing thats been helping me is ignoring the temptation. When you start getting tempted, just say no to it. It isn't easy at first, but you just gotta keep going. It is just practicing self control. Eventually (At least for me) you are going to get better at resisting it and it doesn't have as much power/control over you. When you do mess up, just learn from it. Its kind if like a hard level in a video game. Once you learn the boss's weakness Its much easyier to win the battle. This addiction is not impossible to overcome, with time and accountability, we can overcome this addiction.

    I started this addiction at 4-5 years old, very early. Now I am 31 years old. I think I started it out of emotional needs, even trauma, growing up in a chaotic environment at home. Plus once (I didn't tell anyone until now) I felt that my father had dirty thoughts towards me and touched Me in an incorrect way once. I was very little. This memory is so vivid and I am ashamed to talk about it. Then, as a teenager, I was mocked a lot by my high school classmates and some teachers(!) because they realized that I have this addiction after the fact that the vein on one of my hands is prominent. And since then it's been harder for me. I lost, because of the stigma, the relationship with the community, they point the finger at me, I developed social anxiety and I have no one, I am completely alone. I'm afraid of people, they hurt me too much. How do I get out of this hell? They laughed at me and judged me, but they don't realize that this is not a pleasure, it's an addiction. Which I want to get rid of. 😕

    I started out just before I turned 12, and it has recently been 5 years of doing it at the very least once a day, but most days it has been more. I try to stop but I break after just a few days, never going a week without it for the last 5 years. I made a promise to myself that I would stop at 17 but it was not that easy as I broke immediately. The times I didn’t do it for a few days I felt I was happier then I was then. I just hope I have these thoughts still after I wake up. But I want these lustful thoughts out of my head once and for all so I can finally find my true self, not overshadowed by these thoughts and try to get my life together so I can prepare for the long future ahead of me.

      Benjamin Franklin once said, “Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.”
      What helps me is to watch a video like this to remind me that I don’t want to each time I’m about to in fact I’m doing this now. Each time I try to have a one off I remember that if I don’t stop now when will I.
      I started out at around about the same time as you did and have done it for just as long I normally do it the same amount of times a day as well I hope that we can both stop and get on with life.

      I'm glad that you are choosing to stop this behavior. It can be a challenge, but it is possible. I have seen thousands of people break free and you can too.
      The rubberband method and having an accountability partner are the best tips among the ones I've listed. Accountability helps you have someone to confide in and for them to encourage you and hold you accountable.

      I know you are scared to talk to someone about this, but I believe it would be best to meet with a counselor or a join a group for support. Having someone to talk to about this and how it's been affecting your life helps to relieve the pressure of keeping this bottled up. Plus, they can work with you to create a proper plan to stop this behavior as they encourage you and help you be accountable to truly change. We don't get better just by ourselves. You could do so locally or call us to get scheduled with one of our counselors at 719-278-3708.

    There’s so many small reasons to make masturbation seem ok and that’s the biggest road block for me.
    The biggest one for me is when I rationalize it by saying I haven’t done it in two weeks so it’s OK if I do it this once! Then my once a day cycle starts all over again! Honestly though, when I hold out for a week or even 3 days I only imagine how good it’ll feel to get one off because I held it so long.............and those are always the best ones! Smh

    I've found about sex in a child book I read when I was 8 years old. It planted a fantasy in my mind that stayed with me for all these years, that is being dominated. It's what excites me the most, but when I think about it after masturbating I feel disgusted about that, and feel regret for the rest of the week. I wanna stop this, I will, and confessing this here is the first step of this difficult but freeing journey. We all can do it, we can all be stronger than those thoughts.

    My problem is, though masturbation is morally wrong to me, the moral and psychological repercussions make me feel bad but they don't stop me from going through. The benefits of going without masdurbationalso helps but that only goes so far. Preventive habits only go so far because after a while, if I don't practise them for just a moment then as soon as an urge comes then I immediately relapse. I really need tangible, on the spot consequenses but I never really knew what to do. This video has really helped me get an idea more so than any others I have seen and I'm definitely gonna put these to use.

    This really gave me hope... I am 31 years old and I am addicted to masterbation. It's something I do throughout the day from morning thru night. I don't feel motivated to do anything and spend countless hours looking at my phone, mindlessly scrolling social media, and touching myself the whole time. Idk if I even climax, I'm so detatxhed from my body, but it's that constant stimulation I crave. I'm embarrassed and feel helpless, but this gave me hope. I'm seeking out therapy and going to start getting really honest about this, because it's ruining my life. I'm in debt, still live in my parents house, depressed, and I can't see a way out. It's painful because I'm an artist, musicians, I have many god given talents that are going unused... This video did give me the hope and inspiration.. I'm going to try the rubber band method and really reach out to therapists in my area. Thank you

    For me, I had to get rid of my computer and have my roommate pray deliverance over me before I finally broke free.
    I want to let everyone know here that freedom isn’t the absence of temptation, and it’s not the absence of something. Freedom is the presence of someone, and His name is Jesus.
    I’m still tempted, but it’s not as overwhelming as it was because the Holy Spirit has set me free! 😁
    May this encourage you to search your life and see if there is anything you know could be a stumbling block in your life and to get rid of it, repent, and ask the Lord to start healing your heart and invite Him in for deliverance.
