Is it normal to want to stop masturbating? I'm in a relationship, I'm a Bible believing Christian, I really like video games and books, I'm a virgin and I'm addicted to masturbation and porn. I'll do it anywhere from 0-4 times a day, and I haven't gone more than 3 days without masturbating for a long while. It doesn't matter what the medium for porn is I read porn, watch videos, look at images etc. But I don't want to anymore. I hate it that I can't stop. If I get turned on I have to masturbate. It's impossible to not to for me I've tried before. It's to the point where I'm using my friends to get off. Asking for nude images, I've used a few as friends with benefits, writing my own lit. erotica about some of my friends and so on. I have sexual images from 4 friends stored on my iDevice. It's pleasing momentarily but after I feel guilty and shameful and I want to quit using my friends and break my addiction for good.

So I ask, is it normal to want to stop masturbating? And please help me with ideas on how. I'll accept all relevant advice from anyone of any walk of life.

Please keep hate to yourselves.

    I personally don't think believing in imaginary entities can still be considered "normal" when it becomes a cause of stress and interferes with your life. Sadly however it's all too common.

    I would give up the bible instead.

    Masturbation is normal, even 0-4 times a day is an absolutely justifiable number.
    Having "friends with benefits" is a little uncommon for a bible believing christian...

      This is a thing I realize and again, am shamed to admit. I realize that some things I'm doing/have done are wrong which is why I'm trying to change.

        Iäd say that your "God" is more okay with masturbation and sex rather than using your friends ...

    Sounds like you're being weighed down by guilt. First and foremost I want to stress that masturbation is normal. Everyone does it or has done it. I don't know why you would go to Hell for it but that's just my humble opinion. As for actual advice on how to stop. Well you could try maybe having sex with your partner. If that's not a possibility, then how about taking your mind off of it with some other thing, like video games. Or perhaps you can go on a walk. You should also delete those pics of your friends.

    But in case you don't follow this tip I would like to reiterate that masturbation is totally normal. I've felt guilty in the past but I really don't know why. You don't sound addicted to porn, I mean you're no Don Jon (which by the way deals with this topic). I believe that if you want to masturbate then go ahead and do it, it doesn't make you any less of a person or any less deserving of the Lord's love. If you do seriously want to quit, even though it doesn't sound like you're quitting for yourself, then I've suggested some tips that I think might help.
