Continued attempts to stop are unsuccessful. Promises are broken over and over again. Desire wanes and confidence fades. Frustration prevails as your ability to control your behavior seems to be so far away. These are common results from being addicted to masturbation.
It's helpful to get aware of the reasons you engage in your behavior rather than to avoid the subject altogether. Here are ten simple questions to review with yourself.

1. What do you get out of masturbating? What emotions

2. Why do you want to stop masturbating? Did the idea come from someone else? Did it come from you? Inappropriate? Interfering with your goals? A feeling inside you? Not living to your fullest?

3. How long have you engaged in masturbation? Did you learn when you were young that it was okay? Maybe you began when puberty hit?

4. What is the frequency of your masturbation? The more often you masturbate the firmer the behaviors entrenches itself into your brain and the possibility of addiction increases.

Sometimes you can uncover these answers by asking yourself is it leading you to where you want to go? Your beliefs play a core part of your addiction. Evaluate your beliefs by looking inside and asking questions.
