Um, you may not like this, but if your doing that, then your not a christian. Going to church doesn't make you a christian. Believing Jesus died doesn't make you a christian. Satan knows Jesus died, and he isn't a christian! A "CHRISTIAN" is someone who has been born again(has asked Jesus for forgiveness from his/her sins), and lives a sin-free, holy life! Jesus did not die, so that we could "live in sin". A christian doesn't sin. Once we ask Jesus for forgiveness and begin living a "holy life", we should pray, read the bible, go to church, and fast often. If a christian would sin, that person would become a sinner again, and have to repent all over(which is like crucifying Christ all over again)! Fasting at least one day per wek will help chasten your soul, and you will gain spiritual strength to resist temptation. also, it wouldn't even have to be a "water only" fast, it could be a liquid fast where you give up everything except say orange juice. But I tell you from personal experience, the fasting will "help you a lot" if you'll just do it, and dont forget 2 pray and read the bible daily, and go to church to.Health Question & Answer
well it would depend on how much will power and how "addicted" you are to doing it. obviously it's probably something that feels really good to you, but at the same time you feel that it's wrong to do. so while stopping cold turkey would be ideal, if you're not strong enough to do that then just quit doing it gradually. decide you're only gonna do it 2-3 times a week and do this for maybe two or three weeks and then decrease it more and decrease it more and hopefully you'll get to the point where you can stop doing it all together. now, realize that it is going to be really hard for you to quit, and you'll be tempted to begin many times especially when you're alone or bored so i suggest finding something like a hobby or a sport you can take up so that you won't have as much time where you'll feel tempted and you can take your mind off of masturbating. and always remember to pray. God can always help you get through tough times even when you think you can't do it, so if you feel you're tempted then try doing something else and try praying and eventually it won't be that big of a deal anymore. good luck!!Health Question & Answer
Why would you want to stop.? It's perfectly normal to masturbate. It just depends how often! IMO theres nothing wrong with having a good old bash a couple of times a week.
Just because you're a christian doesn't mean you have to give it up completely. You're 15 and discovering your body. There's nothing wrong with it, and there's certainly nothing to be ashamed of!Health Question & Answer

Don't. Very good for you. Once a day will be fine. Keep your chopper clean and tidy and don't worry. ALL men do it, no matter on faith or religion. SO don't waste time trying t give up or make yourself feel bad.

cut if off.?Health Question & Answer
Good question. You're only the second one I've heard of.
The question is why you want to stop masturbating. There is no medical data supporting masturbating or not masturbating. You can do it every day or never with no medical issues (unless you have an unusual condition, if so call your doctor)
If it's just because a religious figure told you not too, that's no good. It has to be something you want to do, your choice to make. The reason I gave it up is the feeling of guilt afterward, feeling like I did something wrong. also, it made me more susceptible to pornography. Note: while there is little/no scripture for or against masturbation (1 or 2 only, and they're debatable), there are many verses that condemn pornography. If not masturbating will cause you to fall into that, then it'd be better to just masturbate.
Be forewarned: it is NOT easy. The Devil is adept at tempting the flesh, and you will be tempted. I had several "relapses" before I was able to get a firm grip on myself. Even today I have to resist the urge, though with time it gets easier.
Don't spend too much time researching this issue. The more time you spend thinking about it, the harder it will be to resist.
also, masturbation releases sexual tension and expels sperm. If you stop masturbating, sperm builds up in your testicles, and at some point down the road it will typically be expelled via a nocturnal emission, aka "wet dream": they are typically sexual in nature. You wake in the morning having ejaculated in your sleep. This is sometimes mistaken for wetting the bed, especially in younger boys. also, occasionally the dreams have strange sexual tendencies, like homosexuality or bestiality. Do not feel guilty about having one such as this: your subconscious is merely releasing data, it says nothing about your sexual preferences.
Speaking of these, not masturbating builds up sexual tension. You have to be careful not to give in to these. If you have a girlfriend, you may be more inclined to have sex. God absolutely bans all sexual acts before marriage (intercourse, oral, everything) If you can tell not masturbating will make you do these, you should masturbate, the lesser of two evils. Save your purity for marriage.
This tension will also cause "blue balls" aka aching testicles if you have some significant intimate interaction or thoughts but don't act on them (aka sex or masturbation). This happens because extra blood flows to your testicles. While painful, it is neither permanent nor dangerous. It goes away pretty quickly. You have to suffer through it. Recent wet dreams help alleviate this a bit, as well as exercise that gets your heart pumping and blood flowing. You can also go to the bathroom, take off your pants, and spread your legs wide. It's important to take your mind off them, it eases the pain and makes them stop faster.
As to timing, that's a more personal choice. You typically won't have wet dreams until there is a need to release sperm, which means not masturbating at all for a period of time (so far I've gone 3 months without either) You have to set a goal of completely stopping; until you do there can be no progress towards full abstinence. I quit cold, but had a couple relapses before I was strong enough to hold on. That's one way to go. The other is gradual. But if you do choose that, you need to have a strong plan that gets you to zero soon, like within a couple weeks. You have to be committed to it, with solid dates set. When you're down to zero, it gets hardest. But keep pushing past that and it gets easier, like climbing over a hill. The longer you go without, the easier it gets to resist.
Relapsing is hard. At the time, it feels absolutely amazing, that release. But afterward you feel really bad and guilty. If you can avoid any it'll save you a lot of sorrow. Try to stay strong.
Ultimately, this has to be your choice. While it is daunting, being able to give up your sexual pleasure for the glory of God is an amazing experience. Stay strong in your conviction and pray for God's help. He will guide your path.
