Helpful tips to make it a habit:
✓ Trigger your mind. While it’s not always possible to plan when masturbation will take place, you can teach your mind to remember to stop yourself from doing it. Print out and put up a stop sign in the place where you usually do the deed. You’re sure to notice.
✓ Let the app help. Use the reminder function of this app to keep you remembering it’s time to stop masturbating.
✓ Reward yourself. Once you’ve gone a full month of severely reduced rates, reward yourself by getting a nice drink and toasting to your determination and self-control. It’s always nice to receive a pat on the back, even from yourself.
Tips for beginners:
✓ Observe yourself. Learn from where does this tendency to masturbate often comes. If you have a partner, is your sex life not enough and you need more? If you are single, are you craving physical contact so much? Is there someone you are attracted to who’s invading your thoughts and you can’t help yourself? Learning about yourself and what turns you on is the first step to full satisfaction.
✓ Discuss this. If you have a partner, make sure to discuss this with them. Perhaps they noticed your excessive masturbation as well and would be able to help. Or maybe they have some insight into what could be wrong or how to help. You’re not alone. Use that to help yourself.
✓ Single is not necessarily an issue. If you’re single, try discussing this excessive masturbation with a trusted friend. Perhaps they will have an insight into what could be done as well, but make sure it’s someone who could genuinely help you and not cause more harm. It’s a delicate subject, requiring delicate handling.
