Question
I am a christian and i want to quit masturbating, Biologically, is it possible to quit masturbating even though i have been doing it for years, and my body seems to oppose the idea of quitting. After a while i am kinda feeling like the guy in the movie 40 days 40 nights. Am i gonna be like normal after a while, or will i just go crazy by the sexual tension 4ever? I am not getting married for at least 2 years cuz i am still in college and i want a get a degree n job first before marrying a gal. thanx
Zack-
you will not go crazy from sexual tension. If you stop masturbating, your body will get rid of excess semen through nocturnal emissions, called wet dreams.
As for quitting, I recommend that you go to this site:
