My testosterone is skyrocketing. I can't stand it.

I don't masturbate or look at porn for religious reasons. I know a lot of you are religious so I know I'm not going to get hated upon here. (Right? Right? ) I get wet dreams probably once or twice a week. I had one last night.

However, I've been having trouble. I've just turned 16, and my testosterone gets so high I can't ignore it. Once it shows up, it bother me to where I can't concentrate. And so about once a month I give in to temptation and masturbate. Then, about a month later, the same thing happens.

My 'libido' today has gone through the roof, I'm feeling it throughout my entire body. Right now, I am feeling the same way I have every other time right before I give in and start touching myself. What can I do??

Exercise! Lift weights, go running, but do something!

Engage yourself socially.

Stay hydrated but don't let your bladder get too full. Often peeing can help relieve the immediate urge to MB.

Commit to AB just for today, then make the same commitment tomorrow. Getting an AP will make this far more effective. I'm more than willing if you want to shoot me an e-mail.

Go outside, even if you're just reading or talking on the phone. Fresh air and sunshine really do help.

If you normally consume a lot of protein; try balancing this with more carbs. This one is just a theory so please let me know if it works/ doesn't work.

You are doing well to identify times of weakness.

One question: when you normally MB once a month is it to porn/fantasy or entirely a physical process (no mental lust involved)?

Sorry, but... what does 'AP' stand for? I'm not very familiar with the lingo here.

I'll go eat a potato.

Thanks... I just hope I can control myself.

It's entirely a physical process. I don't MB to porn or otherwise.

AP is accountability partner. Sorry, I should have explained that one.

Ok, sure. How would this work?

I have found that daily contact, whether through e-mail or PM, keeps my mind on the task. If your primary struggle is only a short part of each month perhaps you would want to identify when that cycle is approaching and make that your main time of contact. When I am tempted to look for arousing material of any sort or when my body just wants a release, I let my AP know what I'm going through. This reminds me that I'm not alone and putting it into words releases some of the mental tension as the feelings and emotions otherwise stay bottled up inside.

I think you might be feeling deprived and missing something by not MBing. But in truth MB can give big letdowns afterwards, and a good WD can feel far better than any MB. Being horny can also feel good. Try to start getting the attitude that not having the MB habit and enjoying the natural effects, including having some really great WD's, is the superior way to be. Instead of thinking about MB, be horny for more WD's and enjoy them! Look forward to getting more of them as your privelege for not having the MB habit.

Good luck!
