Create diversions from "summary" of 14 New Ways to Stop Masturbation by Smith FARGUSON,Olutoke AKANDE
Masturbation can be an issue for people looking for help to manage it. This topic provides an overview on how to create diversions and take action to stop this activity. It is possible to find an effective way to move away from the habit of masturbation.- One of the great ways to stop masturbation is by creating diversions for yourself. To do this, you need to find tasks and activities that are interesting and engaging enough that they prevent you from focusing on your urges.
- While filling up your free time is a great start, it's equally important to monitor what kinds of media your consuming, as this may trigger your urges. Avoiding videos, websites, and television shows related to sex can help reduce cravings even further.
- Exercise can also provide a much-needed distraction from the desire to masturbate. The endorphin rush from physical activity can decrease stress and improve your self-esteem—two conditions that can make urges stronger.
- It can be helpful to plan out activities that take up a lot of your attention, as well as ones that have a social component like sports or volunteering. You can also try developing a hobby or taking classes that force you to concentrate on something else entirely.
- When trying to create diversions, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. What works best for someone else may not work for you. Don’t give up if the techniques don’t seem to work—give them time and experiment until you find something that works for you.
- Make sure to schedule your day with an appropriate number of activities so that you don't get overwhelmed. That way, each activity has a designated time, which ensures it gets done.
