I masturbate wayyy to much!
I wish i could stop or atleast masturbate a little, less because I know its wrong according to what I believe, which is the bible.
I masturbate 1-5 times a day!
any ideas how to stop?
I know this question sounds, silly but I'm serious its become almost an addiction.

The act of masturbating itself may not be a sin, but what goes through your head while you masturbate most likely is. Lusting after someone in your mind is a sin. So unless you can masturbate without thinking about someone, it's definatly not consistant with a christian life. Even if you could it's not a good thing to do because your body becomes addicted to the ceratonin(spelling?) that's released when you orgasm, it literally becomes a chemical addiction.

A lot of people will tell you it is, and there are those that will try to twist scripture to define it as a sin...but it isn't. This is simply something that many people find personally distasteful, and they twist scripture to back their own personal stance.
The closest that even the hard-core, maniacal Bible-thumpers can get to calling masturbation a sin, is:
Declaring that Masturbation is immoral and foul (which, btw, is opinion), then they bring up 1 Corinthians 6:18...but the problem is that it doesnt define what 'sexual immorality' entails, or what qualifies as a 'sexual sin'. I could tell you that massages are sinful, because it causes some people to lust after others, and thats a sin...I mean, seriously...
There is of course other text to twist, but most Christians forget 1 Corinthians 3:10 and 1 Corinthians 4:6, while they butcher biblical passages. [ Erronius's advice column | Ask Erronius A Question ]

And yes, if you don't want to or dont have the opportunity or time to masturbate etc, the best thing i found out to do was just do a couple pushups or sit ups or whatever which will draw blood to your muscles and prevent you from getting more horny. Not to mention then your doing something worthwhile like building muscle.

Matter of fact, it happens to everyone during puberty. 1-5 days is a lot, but some masturbate much more than that at your age.
The bible never directly says that masturbation is a sin. Ever. You can do it to your heart's content, honestly. If you still don't want to masturbate, try avoiding the things that make you horny. (magazines, pictures, articles, websites, etc) When you get the urge, exercise or do another healthy activity. Anything to keep your mind off of it. Use your will-power. You honestly don't have an addiction. I gurantee you could quit whenever you wanted. You may not like it, but I bet you could. [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]
