Since last 13 years use to masturbate a lot and have sex with my friends. Since I want to focus on my career so I am practicing to stop masturbating. From past 1 month I hardly did 2 or 3 times. But now when I am controlling myself to stop this habit I am unable to do so. It pains in the testicle if I have not masturbated for a week. When I masturbate it gives me some relief and again I get worried. Please suggest me how I can stop this also I will be getting married. will affect my sex life.

Hello- any habit good or bad can not be stopped suddenly, it can cause side effects. This is the scenario with you too. Its best to reduce the masturbation and quit it over the period of 6 months in order to avoid such complications.

1. Identify your triggers to arousal and avoid them 2. Limit your exposure to pornographic material. 3. Stash sex-objects. 4. Limit your internet use 5. Distracting yourself-- do something else. Try to be as busy as possible during the day and night. Keep your mind focused on activities that do not stimulate your sexual fantasies. 6. Exercise. Exercise may help reduce sexual desires. If you masturbate to reduce stress at times, exercise is a healthy alternative because it releases endorphins in your brain which make you feel happier and less stressed 7. Keep your bladder as empty as possible. The urge to urinate can be mistaken by the body as the urge for sex/masturbation. Go to the bathroom before you go to sleep at night and immediately when you wake up in the morning. Even if you feel the slightest urge to urinate, relieve yourself as soon as possible. 8. Go to sleep when you are really tired. This way, you will fall asleep quickly after lying down in bed and not spend time in bed trying to fall asleep 9. Get out of bed immediately in the morning. When you wake up in the morning at the set time, get out of bed as soon as possible and avoid lying in bed awake. Such is a time when masturbation is likely to occur.
