Overcome masturbation by reducing sexual desire?

[Joe_73]

Just a few pointers.

strive to face stress and difficulties better. I don’t know about you, but I ran into, and still do occasionally, this problem when I was stressed out and worried, when I had problems I just wanted to run away from. That was a major trigger. Stress, worry, loneliness and the like. If those are your triggers, you need to learn how to handle them. There’s a few different things, if your lonely you can seek out the company of others, if your stressed, you can just pray and give it up to God, if your stuck, you can cry alone, crying, while not “dignified” in our society, is a way to handle difficulties. If all else fails, you can just cry, Trust me, its better to cry about something, then to try to stifle it with sex.

Early on while trying to quit, its harder because you have a habbit of it, and you might experience temporary depression while your brain struggles to adjust to the change. After a month or two of success, its a lot easier. you eventually just find yourself without the habbit of masturbation. It gets easy, cause its easy to not do something, you just don’t try. The problem afterward is when you are tempted to fall back on it due to stress. I covered that above.

A 2004 Harvard study found that men who ejaculated 21 times per month were less likely to face prostate cancer compared to those who ejaculated four to seven times a month. Pushing out old fluid paves way for fresh semen and cuts your odds of developing this cancer by 33 percent.

On the other hand, it could affect PSA levels in a PSA test:

Question, does this mean that a person masturbates so that the feeling of worry or loneliness or some other negative emotion would be temporarily subside?

I ask this because while I don’t masturbate and don’t have this problem, sometimes I feel I sin more seriously when I am anxious or worried. So maybe it is similar to people getting addicted to alcohol, sex or drugs.

Isn’t it funny that it’s about men who “ejaculate” more vs those who do so less?

If one isn’t married, he shouldn’t be doing this at all unless he has nightly emissions, which should be rare.

So I guess the conclusion is that marriage helps prevent prostate cancer in men? Maybe the next time I’m at the doctor I should ask him to write me a prescription for a wife…

The results quoted didn’t say anything about those who didn’t ejaculate at all or rarely did, it only compared between those who did much vs not as much.
