I didn't receive sex education in Greece...
Hello! Please tell me , have I done permanent damage to my body and mind through masturbation?  I didn't receive sex education in Greece...
I have been masturbating a lot since 11 years old and I am 25 now. I always wondered why I feel slower and weaker than I used to. Can I ever be 100% again? How long will it take to reverse the damage? or is it irreversible? what can I do to minimize the side effects? Thank you!

Just like female dog smells male dog...
I have been masturbating for 2 years, since when I was 18 years old. My friend first asked me if I mastubated or not. I wasn't masturbating at that time, but after he showed me a couple of porn videos, I was curious about doing masturbation. After he left, and when I was alone, I started to jerk off. I felt so
good, and I cummed.
Since I haven't masturbated before 18 years old, my cock was so strong. I jerked off almost everyday, and I never felt depressed or things like that. Now, I'm 20 years old. I don't have the confidence I used to have, my hands are shaky, my face got bigger due to non exercising (or maybe due to masturbation?). My body doesn't look good, my ass got too big, I feel so dirty and as this website said, I'm rejecting girls. I don't reject girls when I watch them thru porn or TVs. But if I see girls in reality, I don't know, but I feel sometimes even hatred, or emotionally hard to communicate with them. Right now, when I talk with girls, I also feel hatred from them, it's like they don't like my look , or they might sensing something is wrong with me. Just like female dog smells male dog and if male dog has desease, the female dog runs away from him. I used to hang out with many friends, but now, I only have few friends. Of course, they are males. I'm hoping if I stop masturbating, I get more friends and build my confidence and body again, and hoply to get a chance to have romance with girls like back in when I was in high school.

My pastor raped me...
I don't know what happpen. I was searching for somethig on the internet just 10 minutes after going to masturbating. I have been doing this since I was a young girl, about 5 years old I was fundle with at that age then about 9 years old I met a girl of the same sex we were always masturbating, it's what we did all day long. When she had to go home I would go to my room or the bathroom and masturbate. It came to the point where whenever I had the urge I would do it no matter what time of day it was. when I was 9 -13, I was raped by my Pastor I got kick out of the church but my mom chose to stay and I was alone. I always tried sucide but it never worked. I would stay up all night masturbating. I became myself sad. I somehow thought I was free, I made myself the promise that I would never go back to that way of living again but yet, I did. Now, I am 18 years old and I am a freashman in College and I spend most of my time in the bathroom masturbating. What can you do different to help me get through?

...when I was reading some of the confessions I thought some of them were fake...
I was searching the internet for a webpage like this one. I used keywords like "consequences of masturbation" or "how to stop masturbation" and I stumbled onto this page and after reading all the confessions I realised how similar my case is to most of these people.
I had all the symptoms; low self-confidence, shaky hands, constant feeling of weakness and unworthiness, absolutely no social connections (any more), etc...This CAN'T be a coincidence, all these symptoms ARE caused by masturbation.
I am now 21 and have been masturbating since I was 15. I used to masturbate on a daily basis and sometimes more than 3 times a day. I turned into this weak, pathetic creature that just wants to hide at home and continue with this bad habit-sometimes by looking at porn and sometimes by just fantasizing. I now want to shout out at all those who say that masturbation is natural and healthy and tell them to STOP LYING. Now I hate this thing so much that I stopped looking at porn and decided never EVER to do it again. I have been "sober" now for about 3 weeks and life is already wonderful.
I now feel much more confident and steady. There ARE still some symptoms left but I know that they will go away if I stay strong. So my advice to all those who suffer from this problem is to just STOP it. Believe me it WILL work and most importantly it is never too late. By the way, when I was reading some of the confessions I thought some of them were fake or written by the owners of the webpage just to get us to buy product, but as I continued to read I realised that they weren't. Mine too is real, and the reason I wrote it was how good I felt when stopped masturbation and I just hope my experience would help someone else be a happy person again.

...I loose my erection even at the begining...
I masturbated at age of 14 almost 4 times a week until age of 25 and I slowed down to 1 to 2 times until age of 30, and now I'm 40 I only masturbate 1 or 2 times a month. Sometimes, I can spend 3 months without masturbation, but my problem is when I'm with a girl I can't go more than 1 time and sometimes I loose my erection even at the begining, and I also suffer of premature ejaculation, I need help. Please, help me, sometimes I want to die for that problem, I'm so stressed, my question is: THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TO ME BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN MASTURBATING ALL THIS TIME?
HELP ME!

...it reached to almost 2-4 times a day...
Hi, I am very grateful to you for putting such informative articles on your site. I am also a victim of masturbation. I came to know about masturbation by myself, at the age of 12 and since then I have been masturbating. I am currently 17. In the beginning, the frequency of masturbation was less but gradually it increased and about a year ago it reached to almost 2-4 times a day!!!
Recently, I have been abstaining from Masturbation. I realised its harmful effects with experience, I realised that my concentration and memory had become weak as it was five years ago. Currently, I have not masturbated since exactly a month. I am a spiritual person and have also started Yog. I wanted to know whether Pranayama can heal all the negatives that have happened since I was 12?
Due to this 'one month' abstinence, the urge for masturbation has increased so much that it's been difficult to handle it. My personal life is making it worse. I like a girl very much (I actually love
her), but due to personal reasons I have not even proposed anything to her. Combined with the 'one month' abstinence, her thoughts always roam in my mind and such fantasies leads to more urge for masturbation. Nowadays, I have been compelled so much that I end up masturbating to just about getting an ejaculation and then I refrain from it, remembering my abstinence. Please do tell me how to get through this situation?
Please do help me with these problems. Thank you.

I used to solve Maths problems very fast...
Thank you very much for the information provided. I was a sharp boy a few years ago. I used to solve Maths problems very fast and had an excellent memory, but things have started degradating since I began what you called masturbation. I have been masturbating for two years, and the poor consequences have started coming now. Since last year, my memory has become weak. In fact, I was doubtful that this (mas..) might me cause bad memory but I was never sure. To tell you the truth, I began searching in a search engine as "does loss of sperm affects memory" and I was here. My doubt came true. Well, now I can't bring the things back but I would like to know that if I stop masturbation now, how long will it take for me to regain my scientist type of memory? Also, I would like to know what additional diet supplements I should take, and lastly how much poor effects can this have on the rest of my life? Can I live a normal life now? Thank you from the bottom of my heart once again.
Please. reply soon

How I re-gain my lost Energy?
Hello I have been masturbating since I was 18 years. Now, I am 28 and unmarried. But still addict of this. Now, I have lots of problems regarding my mental and sexual health. I am very weak and look aged as compare to other of my age. My half of beared comes grey which usually starts grey in age of 40 here. I have no control on myself, it means whenever I even think about sex or talk with a girl , drops of semen comes out. I am a patient of spermatorrea for last 6 years. It is totally out of control. I got erection but for very small time. And I am facing premature ejeculation, weak memory and lots of other problems as you know which may comes due to after such long time of masturbating. My question regarding the above situation is:  Is there any way to quit this bad habit and regain my lost energy and get rid of all my above problems and be able to start marriage life?
Regards Thanks in Advance,
