masturbation addiction

Hi,

I am new to this website. I suffer from masturbation addiction. I had been thinking of ways to quit masturbation for a long time. Whenever I overmasturbated, I said to myself I won't do it again for 2 - 3 weeks. But I ended up doing it anytime between 4 - 10 days. Sometimes I masturbated twice in a day which can be very damaging for your health. I trying coming close to religion so as to purify my heart from this corruption but wasn't successful. It has been 5 years since I have been masturbating. I do not wish to completely quit. I want to reduce the habit to an acceptable level which is also hard for me. Today, I masturbated twice and felt bad after masturbating both the times. Guilt feeling doesn't stop me from doing it soon. Sometimes, I wish I could kill all those women who are involved in the porn industry.

Anyway, I am promising myself to not masturbate for the next two and a half to three weeks from now. I need time to recover. I have masturbated 4 - 5 times in the past 7 days. I hope this idea of sharing my thoughts with other people suffering from the same problem can increase my motivation. I am listing some side effects of masturbation for you guys to know just in case if you don't.

Dark circles
erectile dysfunction
Acne
Headaches
Back pain
Reduced Stamina for sure
Depressed Mood

Lets promise each other to reduce our habit to an acceptable level. I would like to be online friends with some of you. If any body is interested, *Edited by Chucky - Don't supply your email out in the open forum

We can be online buddies and help each other out.

As a sex addict you can not just do your addiction to whatever level you want to. You can't take in masturbation as "I can take it or leave it" whenever I wish. Your addiction is very important to you, you have severly destroyed your life in order to do it. Yet you still do it. For you It is not an option to "I want to keep at a certain level." If addicts could keep addictions at certain levels they would also be able to stop completely. Addictions do not work that way.
