Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I want to quit masturbation. Please tell me how to quit. On the web there is a dearth of information on quitting. I cant believe all this bologna about it being "healthy." My years of personal experience testify otherwise. I am a male in my mid 20's. It has triggered and triggers all sorts of very bad and negative effects - and is making my life hell. I consistently get the same results from masturbation, and in the few times I have been able to abstain (for some time) those effects went away. I have tried and tried to quit but have failed miserably. I usually (almost always) can't sleep at night unless I masturbate (until ejaculation). If I lay there awake attempting to avoid it, I start feeling uncomfortable in general and in particular I get a strange feeling of discomfort in my feet. The only explanation I can think of for this is that in the brain's map of the body the area for the genitals is adjacent to the area of the feet and somehow the signal is getting routed there. I don't think this is an issue of attitude towards masturbation either because I tried having the this-is-healthy-theres-nothing-wrong-attitude but I ALWAYS get the same results. The same effects triggered, which I will summarize below: -inability to articulate -inability to focus or concentrate -inability to do anything that requires thinking or putting information together -doubts about all sorts of things -getting stuck on the same thought over and over again -losing my train of thought -feeling like my chest, throat, and mouth are filled with some toxic substance -memory problems -excessive worry Theres probably other stuff but thats all I can think of at the moment.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Dear Humble soul Namaskar Nature has blessed every soul with huge energy and blessed the human being with brain. Just open the door of your brain and see nature.If you wish to get rid of any habit that is not possible.Suppression is not the answer to sex.Answer is proper understanding of that energy.It is the power given by God and it depends upon you that how do you transform this energy.Just think what is the search you close your eyes and see only sex....have you thought why,what is suppressed in your subconscious thought. Why smoke is there why not proper utilisation of that energy resource.Esacapism is not the answer.Without moderating without proper understanding how can you come out. When you control your breath then you control your mind when you control mind then you float in the sky of ecstacy. Life is an eternal bliss. Sex is the prime source when you understand sex then you would understand superconsciousness.When you transform energy then you flow with unconditional love for the whole humanity. Just see your life schedule.Just commune with nature.Just see the animals,birds they live with the law of nature.But human being overrules nature's law. No medicine would help you because seed is in the brain if it would vanish then you would concentrate otherwise would sink in the labyrinth of darkness. Commune with nature,go for walk,take deep breath.Attune with your breath and do meditation and try to understand the purpose of your life.At the age of 20 you have the prime responsibility of young generation for society.When you wipe the tears of others then understand pain when inner cries then love flows then negative energies vanishes and you becomes selfless and glitters with Divinity.Then sex becomes the energy resource for Divine task.Would be able to understand it. Need is to understand your real self. My SatGuru always says,"DELVE DEEP TO FIND YOUR TRUESELF." He also says one beautiful line-"BREATH CONTROLS BODY... EGO CONTROLS MIND..... SILENCE CONTROLS SOUL" You know the moment you have faith and surrenders,all problems vanishes.Just worship your inner.This body is the Divine abode of of Divine soul.Don't spoil it.Use it for serving others. Keep moderate food habits.Pious living.Humbleness and Be sublime. Then Nature would bless you. Without persistent efforts obstacles never removes. Win your self.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hi there, I think in everyones life there are times when mother nature calls at a deeper level. For women especially they say the "clock has gone off." However, I understand that sometimes it's nice to feel that we have control over who is sailing this ship. What I would suggest is Kundalini Meditation. I have found that it's the quickest way to the neutralize the hormones and bring more balance. I don't know where you live but check out this website for the specific style of meditation I'm referring to. It's an eyes open transfer of shakti from teacher to student. www.SacredSpaceYogaSanctuary.com Good luck!! > I want to quit masturbation.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 This author is pleased to see so many suggestions pouring in, and all of them "no medicine" approaches. Thank you members who put in those. In this case no medicine exists, except modern poisons such as pesticides, drugs, etc. which kill fertility. How many males suffer from fertility issues world over is a question for scientists to answer. And your very desire to quit in spite of "it being healthy" attitude adopted by several, suggests that already some window to your soul is open. While Panch Gavya medicines cool the mind, they increase fertility. Three years of shivambu therapy makes the "Sadhaka" a "tru yogi", as said by Lord Siva in Damar Tantra. Few messages on "sativic diet" exist in our group itself. Most of suggestions wish you to upgrade your "explosive" sex energy to spiritual one. This author agrees 100%. A "how to do it" step by step manual is provided on "aypsite". Various breathing techniques, mantras exist, but since this author likes breathing techniques and meditation techniques, he suggested site. It is unfortunate that some of the breathing techniques taught by Guru Padmasambhava, a tantric master from Tibet cant be communicated over the net. In case this is difficult, one more way of upgrading the energy is through Vajroli technique of Tantra. Some literature on this exists in adult section of aypsite forum also. More can be requested from this author off-list. Excessively strong Muladhar Chakra is a boon to seekers of "self" provided a good guidance exists from a "Guru" or an anonymous netizen with no commercial interest. HOw far "yogani99" of aypsite comes to this expectation can be decided by you. Loss of dhatus has already set in as suggested by various symptoms described by you, but you have not yet crossed the point of "no return". Good luck and blessings.

Hi, Masturbation is only healthy when you masturbate two times a week, these side effects do crop up when you are doing everyday, because like every organ your penis also needs some rest, and the body takes 3 days times to remake the amount of semen ejaculated, so although you cant stop masturbating atleast try to masturbate in gaps of 3 days, it will definately help your condition, when feeling the urge about masturbating try to divert your mind to something sad in your life, it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Dear. The best way to quit 'masturbation' is you take firm decision that you will not masturbate and make self estimation that this is a childish act and shameful deed. Also keep in mind that if we think spiritualy, it is a sin. Regards Sheena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I agree with you partially that it requires a firm decision to work on this. But your reasoning is interesting... and i'd like to know more. Why is this deed shameful and sin? Abdul Majeed <aborizwan3 wrote: Dear. Also keep in mind that if we think spiritualy, it is a sin.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Actually, the timing on this is an urban legend... there's no proof that masturbating twice or week, daily or otherwise are healthy for any individual (male or female). This is a complex process involving fantasy, cravings, urges, physical constitution, etc. There are enough examples of people being in despair, pain, frustration because of their "fear" from religion/etc other sources that inspire abstinence. Abstinence or celebity is a behaviour that arises from perfect understanding of the human body... a natural brahmacharya. Otherwise even lustful thoughts in the wake of all physical abstinence evoke the same emotions/hormones in your body and not being aware of this will lead you to more grief than a simple act of masturbation. On the physical aspect, its not the physique of a person that determines the frequency. In fact the fitter a person, normally, has a different level of libido, for some it is high, for some it lower. There are many athletics for eg that belive in sex before their races as part of their prep, its a mental release and you don't evoke lust and are therefore more relaxed. There are many that prefer to save the energy as that is what is more important to them. Typically, being carried away into sex/masturbation is part of living more in the mental fantasy and feeling that your creative outlets are block, since your sexual energy is the most creative of your energies. Finding creative outlet in an arena that you really *LOVE* is usually the best way to breaking out of this. As you get more involved in something that you simply desire, whether it is a hobby, sport, art, cooking, gardening, making dresses, ripping paper, whatever,.... your creative energy will find a vent, and you'll find yourself involved with that creative thought, thereby not having to live in the fantasy world. Just be awareof what your feelings are , if you can .... discuss them either on this forum.. not sure if appropriate, or you can email me and others here directly that have chosen to respond in a manner that makes sense to you. SHAME is the WORST invention of man to control others.. don't think of things in terms of shame else you will never progress in life. what seems shameful for one person, maybe the most important lesson s/he has come to learn in this lifetime here today. SHAME was a concept created in roman-christian times to control others, prevent anarchy and in other ways give direction in the choice desired by the political powers including the church/temple at that time. Many equate "SHAME" to the hindi/sanskrit word "SHARAM" these are NOT the same at all by any means. Shame leads to guilt. Sharam comes from modesty. Both the sources of the words are different ... by a mile. Shame controls, Sharam yields. So in sex/masturbation or any deed, we don't look at others standards of shame as that will truly make you live a life of regrets. You have to do what you truly feel is right for you, learn the impact of the lesson and move on. You should definitely way the outcome of your actions as undesirable.. but still, they are your choices and you don't anything to be ashamed off. Shame has been abused by the society, religion, teachers and parents because they didn't know how to "control" your free spirit and free thought better and you had to conform. my 2 cents. rose_is_sayonara <rose_is_sayonara wrote: Hi, Masturbation is only healthy when you masturbate two times a week, these side effects do crop up when you are doing everyday, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
