"Remember the first time you discovered how good it feels to have sexual feelings? As a girl...do you remember innocently
holding the shower nozzle against your pubis and feeling the warm flow of water trickling over your clitoris?...As a boy,
perhaps you were sitting in class and suddenly discovered you had a big erection...and you touched it for the first time. Your
blood was rushing, your energy was bursting through your skin, saying, "Hello! I am here, and I will make you feel good when
you touch me!"

"For many people, the only safe way to experience genuine sexual satisfaction is to do it by themselves, in secret,
masturbating. But masturbation is also filled with feelings of guilt and considered by many to be wrong. If children are caught
doing it, they are punished or threatened with dire consequences. I recently heard a wonderful anecdote about this. One little
girl, who was warned she would go blind if she masturbated too much, replied, "Couldn't I just do it until I need to wear
glasses?" - THE ART OF SEXUAL ECSTASY by Margo Anand

Does Circumcision Inhibit Masturbation? circlist.com
"I have masturbated two or three times a day since I
was 12, and always have had big good orgasms. My clit
is longer than others I have seen. it always protrudes
from my labia, even when not aroused. I have always
wondered if my big clit is responsible for my good
orgasms, or is it the other way around? My girl friends
have always been envious of my clit and my wild
orgasms."

Cock Tales by Bob Vickery
How to stop masturbating
"Whether as a child you rebelled and did it more or accepted the prohibitions and did it less, the chances are that the guilt
associated with masturbation has carried over into your adult life. As a result, you may regard it distastefully as "jerking off",
throwing energy away, or an uncontrollable tickle that you want to get rid of. It is done hurriedly in unaesthetic places
likebathrooms, garden sheds, and dark corners, never joyously and proudly and never with your partner."
THE ART OF SEXUAL ECTASY by Margo Anand
"Trying to stop masturbating is challenging because masturbation serves so many purposes; for example, it can help people relax or energize them. Orgasm can make sleeping easier and more restful, and/or it can help start the day with an energized calm. It's understandable if you're finding it difficult to give up masturbation; masturbating and finding sexual satisfaction are as natural and healthy as eating, drinking, and sleeping.
Your desire to keep yourself "pure" may stem from your cultural, religious, familial, spiritual, and/or other beliefs. Being pure can pertain to sexuality or intercourse. It can also mean having good intentions and positive thoughts, caring for others, and not thinking ill of others. If these virtues describe you, maybe it is possible to masturbate and still remain pure."

"Unease about masturbation began, as is well known, in the early eighteenth century, when a book appeared entitled Onania; or the Heinous Sin of Self-Pollution (1707-1717) appeared anonymously in Holland and met with great success. By the middle of the century Tissot's famous treatise, On Onania: or a Treatise upon the Disorders Produced by Masturbation (1760), had given a scientific veneer to the new anxiety about the "solitary vice." Drawing on ideas about the wastage of bodily energy, Tissot argued that physical illness resulted from loss of semen, leading to general debility, consumption, deterioration of eyesight, disturbance of the nervous system, and so on."

How to Stop Masturbating
First, a quick look at some alleged side effects of
masturbation from
datingfun.com:
Throughout history, masturbation has been seen as a great evil, destroying the minds and bodies of youth across the world.
Luckily, we're all about destroying the minds and bodies of youth! Heck, around here it's a way of life.
To discourage would-be wackers, authority figures
often cite the horrendous side-effects of playing
with yourself. How many times have you heard
you'll go blind, or grow hair on the palms of your
hands? If you're like Larry the Mailroom Intern, you
hear this sort of thing daily. Anyway, at some point
this guy named Tissot published his philosophy on
masturbation, including the harmful side-effects of
this pleasurable practice. Check 'em out!

Some people, for their own reasons, seriously wish to stop
masturbating; this article at World Wide Wank
indicates just how much of your life you'll need to devote to your struggle. And remember . . . your sexual urges are gonna be with you for a looong time!
http://www.religioustolerance.org/masturba.htm
you can get
the religious perspective. They cover stuff like medical
aspects, beliefs about masturbation by various religious
groups, and masturbation and the Bible. They also link to
religious and secular web sites dealing with masturbation.
"Based on the cavalier attitude that has been taken toward the Church’s teachings on this subject, within "sex education" programs and even within seminaries, it should be no surprise that the Church, family life, and the spiritual health of Her children are, to a large extent, in the grotesque state that they are at the moment. Indeed, the present (2002) sex abuse scandals involving clergy and other church officials are merely symptoms and outgrowths of the failure of individuals---both clergy and laity---to foster an appropriate and permanent "education in chastity." Once again, it more or less goes to show that the Magisterium of the Pastors of the Church [the only true and Certain ‘expert in humanity (cf Sollicitudo rei Socialis, element 41)], as it has been with so many timeless as well as contemporary issues, was correct in defining the true roots of the vocations crisis, namely, that celibacy cannot be valued without a high value for properly expressed sexuality (ie, chaste behavior and attitudes) in general (cf Sacerdotalis Caelibatus, element 49; Familiaris Consortio, element 16)."
Masturbation: Up to No Good
Combining the Wisdom of the East with the Angst of the West
"We are able to shorten the endocrine cycle, that is, increase the intercourse frequency, and use sex to repower the body at the same time
for middle agers and seniors with our supplements. However, we are discouraging young men to do so, because sex is very addicted.
Hence, our supplements are formulated to rescue these unfortunate persons who have suffered from sexual dysfunction due to
over-ejaculation or over-masturbation in their adolescence or youth. Sexual dysfunction problems usually result from the long-term practice
of multiple ejaculations in one love session or in one day." Herbolove.com
"All masturbation is obscene, for Scruton, also because it "involves a concentration on the body and its curious pleasures" (319). Obscenity
is an "obsession . . . with the organs themselves and with the pleasures of sensation" (154), and even if the acts that focus on the body and
its pleasures are paired, they are "masturbatory." "In obscenity, attention is taken away from embodiment towards the body" (32), and there
is "a 'depersonalized' perception of human sexuality, in which the body and its sexual function are uppermost in our thoughts" (138). A
woman's masturbation during coitus is obscene since it leads the pair to focus too sharply on the physical; she is a depersonalized body
instead of a person-in-a-body. Thus, for Scruton, this obscene masturbation cannot sustain, indeed threatens, the couple's metaphysical
illusion. But if a woman's masturbation during coitus is greeted with delight by a partner, rather than with disgust, and increases the pleasure
(even union) they realize and recognize in the act together, then, contrary to Scruton, either not all masturbation is obscene (the parties have
not been reduced altogether to flesh) or obscenity, all things considered, is not a normative or metaphysical disaster."
Traumatic Masturbatory Syndrome (TMS) is the habit of masturbating prone. It causes severe sexual dysfunction in most males who practice it. This website describes TMS and the problems of its sufferers and offers case studies and approaches to becoming cured.
Traumatic Masturbatory Syndrome
"The fact that this important source of sexual pleasure is still regarded by some with guilt and anxiety is partly due to ignorance
of the fact that masturbation is not harmful and partly due to centuries of religious teaching that it is sinful." From wylde.com
- "the largest on-line adult store on the web".
(1) First and foremost is to help those in need. Sometimes the best therapy is to read
about another person's feelings so they can have real content to use as a perspective
for their own personal history. Even for those who are just curious about their own
thoughts and experiences, reading personal dialogues can be a great way to find
answers. We are going to try to include many different viewpoints as our site grows.
We are far from finished. The more points of view we can gather, the better educated all
of us will be in understanding the deep, dark, and mysterious thoughts inside the
human mind. (2) Our second goal is to present a resource where "underground"
sexual-psychology is to-the-point and easy-to-understand. For centuries, the wonders
of sexuality have been overlooked by the average person. Difficult psychology texts
are almost impossible to read because they are filled with jargon that can only be
understood by those with a clinical background. Many Internet presentations are
nothing more than pornographic pictures. We want the average individual to be able to
understand our stories, experiences, and articles. (3) Last but not least is entertainment.
Human sexuality is fascinating to read about. Sometimes it's sad, humorous, erotic,
confused, or sick. It's often very intriguing.
To some people masturbation is a filthy
habit. To others, it's a substitute for
"real" sex. For many couples mutual
masturbation enhances intercourse but
solo masturbation is still practised in
secret.
For a growing number, it's a natural
sexual practice that's accepted and
discussed (more or less) openly.
I'ts really all of the above isn't it? We can't
just ditch the scary things we were told
when we were kids.
They're still part of us.

"Medical textbooks prior to the 18th Century seldom mentioned masturbation at all. In 1758 a Swiss physician named Tissot published a treatise claiming that masturbation* was the principal cause of mental illness---a terrible sin to be avoided like the plague. In spite of many rebuttals and critiques by contemporaries, Tissot's views became a standard reference found in most all medical textbooks published until the early part of our century."
