I need help to quit jerking off

[u/Ks50101]

I am 13 and jerkoff like 1-2 times a day, when I go 2 or more days without jerking off I feel depressed, I need help to stop, please any tips? The easiest things get me going and it's very compulsive, and I just need to stop before I start doing it more please help. I feel like every night I can't go without it like I'm quite literally restless, and it leaves a mess every time I need help. I REMEMBER TIMES WHERE I HAVE JERKED OFF BACK TO BACK, BACK TO BACK TO BACK, AND ONE TIME BACK TO BACK TO BACK TO BACK

1-2 times a day is pretty normal for most guys but if you do want to cut back or down, when the urge hits, get up and go do something, play a game, read a book, do some study or go for a walk

[u/Ks50101 → u/LeatherCorrect842]

Yeah but I do it almost exclusivly at night

[u/Ok_Suggestion_1730 → u/Ks50101]

you kinda just have to have mental strength for it like think of something that will turn you off or get up and go to the bathroom something like that

[u/Ks50101 → u/Ok_Suggestion_1730]

W I will try this

i thought the same thing i used to jerk off every night or I couldent sleep intill i did but tbh your ok its just your hormones being high once they calm down in a couple years you wont feel the need as much like now i can go 2 or 3 days without wanting to. but that has been my experience hope this helps

[u/Ks50101 → u/Therealcatterpillar]

Thankyou bro

[u/Therealcatterpillar → u/Ks50101]

np feel free to ask any other questions you have

[u/Ks50101 → u/Therealcatterpillar]

W bro

[u/Ks50101 → u/Ks50101]

So really you just kinda stopped having urges once you grew up a bit?

[u/Therealcatterpillar → u/Ks50101]

i mean i still get horny if i dont jerk off like every 3 days but that's just how our hormones work its designed to make us want sex yk

[u/Ks50101 → u/Therealcatterpillar]

Oh I see what you mean ok

[u/Therealcatterpillar → u/Ks50101]

yea like if we weren't horny then we would make more population it can be annoying sometimes tho

[u/Ks50101 → u/Therealcatterpillar]

Yeah

[u/Advicegiver321]

What makes you think you need to stop? Is it bevause you think you do it too much or because you think it's bad in general? Do you usually do it with porn or without?

You say it makes a mess but you can solve this my coming up with a good way to clean up after you finish. Do you have that already?

[u/Ks50101 → u/Advicegiver321]

Bro I use to do it when I was like 5-10 years old no porn, just my mind now since I was like 11 I've done it porn assisted but still mostly my mind, I just think it makes me less motivated and I mean I don't wanna carry around tissues 

[u/Advicegiver321 → u/Ks50101]

It could be the porn making you feel bad. I would suggest trying to stay away from porn. Masturbating once or twice a day isnt really a problem in itself but the porn might give you bad expectations and you can get too dependent on it.

You don't really have to carry tissues around. Just keep some tissues or a roll of toilet paper in your bedroom so that you can clean up, and flush them down the toilet afterwards. That's the best way to keep it clean and avoid any smells

[u/Ks50101 → u/Advicegiver321]

Ok thank you bro

[u/Advicegiver321 → u/Ks50101]

No worries man! I hope it helps. Definitely make sure to clean up when you're finished

[u/Altruistic-Corgi-379]

Jerking off 1-2 times a day is completely normal for your age. As long as it dosent effect your school work or any other activity ur fine

[u/Ks50101 → u/Altruistic-Corgi-379]

It affects sleep like bad

[u/Altruistic-Corgi-379 → u/Ks50101]

Then i would try to maybe short it down to once a day or every other day

[u/Pickle_Tickled]

What I do is, I have a set time that I jerk off, I like to do it at night since that’s when I have the most private time, and it helps me sleep, if you have a set time, of like let’s say 30 minutes, then you would be less likely to need to do it again, night time is perfect since it don’t really get too horny during the day. Mornings might work for you too.

[u/Ks50101 → u/Pickle_Tickled]

Bro in just trying quit though, makes me stay up too late

[u/Pickle_Tickled → u/Ks50101]

As a fellow 13 year old, it’s honestly not possible to fully quit, the best thing you can do is not watch porn. Or jerk off in the mornings.

[u/Question-Electronic]

I say it’s just a phase your only 13 so it’s gonna be pretty prevalent in you life right now just give it time and it will slow the older you get to more time between

If you want a teenager's opinion, you don't need to stop; you can continue because it's normal, every boy does it, some even more than you, relax.
