The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
To say that you should abstain from masturbation because you'll lose the "eye of the tiger" is ridiculous. After a sufficient amount of time without sexual release, the average man is wired to be thinking about sex on a constant basis, and any sexual relations that you have during this exalted state point will probably be with women that you would normally consider to be basically livestock. Masturbation is one of the key biological factors in prevent men from becoming gurning imbeciles due to their reproductive drive hammering at their brain, and to ignore it for some assinine concept like the "eye of the tiger" is ludicrous beyond belief.
True, and likely very short lived as well. With lack of regular release (for most men) comes much, much quicker release when it finally does come around.
Also it should be mentioned that if you get into an "aroused by anything" state, you're also likely to do really stupid things in order to get off, such as having unprotected sex when you really don't want a baby. Yanking it hurts no one, and prevents this unfortunate situation.
Decisively don't worry about yankin' it, unless you're giving up major aspects of your life for it. If you find yourself not going out with friends to do it instead, for example, that'd be when to tone it down. But aside from that, it's very helpful.

This is where the self control part would come in.
Yes, I bet if you wait long enough you'll start to think about not just fucking women, but men, and animals, and just about anything.
The key, is to control the will. It's a test of willpower. If you want to tempt yourself even more, you can masturbate a bit WITHOUT orgasms. Will is like a muscle. If you don't work your muscles out they will never grow, and likewise, if you never stress your willpower enough it will also never grow. Only then, can you obtain the true Eye of the Tiger.
Come on bro if a monk could douse himself in gas and sit perfectly still as he burns to death and ashes I'm sure you could go for like, a week without masturbating at least. It doesn't hurt to try.
Will is not a muscle, it is not anything like a muscle and you are giving terrible advice. There is nothing to gain from holding off from masturbation, it's a completely futile exercise and I cannot comprehend being sufficiently empty of mind as to need to challenge myself in such a way. Stop giving stupid, off topic advice.
I fap all the damn time, and often wonder the same thing...
If I could bring one possible problem to your attention, it would be that generally when masturbating, speed is a factor; not always mind you, and not for everyone, but certainly for me.
Now, I'm afraid when my Ex gets back from Ireland and It's time to let her have it again, I'm gonna be all fast and lame because I've been trying to go fast 2-3 times a day for a year since she left.
1. Yes, Mr. Happy saying hello at random, inappropriate times (say, Math class) does happen less frequently as you get older - operative words less frequently. Not "never".
It still occationally happens, and the only thing funny about it is all the lame attempts the spammers try when they try selling me Viagra. "Having trouble with your Soldier?" "Get a harder d!ck today!"
Um. No. Go away. I dont need it harder or longer, I need it to mind its own business when I'm at work.
It's even more hilarious when my wife gets them.
To the OP: you're getting a lot of solid advice here. Once a day is fine and perfectly normal, and as you get older, the frequency may calm down a bit. In high school, I was a 1 to 2 times a day guy. Now that I'm 28, I can get by with 3 to 5 times a week.
As for random boners... yeah, those don't go away completely, but they will become rarer. I still get the occasional one while I'm at the mall or something. Most of the time, I don't even worry about it. I figure if some girl is checking out my package, "hey, awesome". If it's some guy, well I'm comfortable enough with my sexuality to not be bothered by it.
But honestly: I've never been called on it by anyone, and additionally, I've never, not once, noticed it on another guy. So chances are good nobody will ever notice it on you either.
But if you really need a technique, I put my hands into my pockets, and just push forward slightly enough to reduce any bulge. Doesn't work if you're carrying something, but otherwise it works, and looks completely non chalant.
I just wanted to contribute to this wholly fascinating thread;
My Sophomore year in high school I had to fap before work just too avoid getting "random boners" while I was working. I mean, I was working with a girl I had a pretty big crush on at the time, but the point is, it's part of being a teenager, has been since forever.
I think this has been said alot but a good tip for not getting a boner during school is to drink excessive liquids. Like tons of water. I don't know if it works for everyone but as long as I have to Pee then I won't get a boner, theres the odd occasion when I get a boner and have to pee but usually it works.

I don't know maybe I am just odd.
I've found this to be true as well actually, with one exception: Morning wood. I usually have to pee like a race horse first thing every morning, so morning wood was a test of my aiming skills.
I had to calculate distance, arc, and positioning.

My friend had a boner when he got out of the pool, and was joking and laughing and I had to turn away.
My friend had a boner when he got out of the pool, and was joking and laughing and I had to turn away.
I had a friend who squeezed off 8 times in a day
He never did it again
I did 7 in a day once. Never again. Never.
I did the 7 thing before, I regretted it that day. But a month or two later it wasn't too bad I was kinda proud of it. Bored summer days when you're 14 are dangerous.

Peeing with an erection is the most horrible thing (Like, a full on erection, as in...I'm having sex, but damn it, now I have to pee and I won't be able to finish unless I do).
I swear, by the time you get it pointed down to the toilet, it shoots out of there with a velocity that has to be approaching the sound barrier.
You know, this may well be the strangest thread I've ever posted - because, IRL, this conversation would never, ever happen. A bunch of guys standing around talking about their dicks, and how frequently they 1. strangle the chicken 2. polish the porpoise 3. whack the weasle. I'm sure there are others.
"So, Bob, uh. Dja have morning wood this morning?"
"Yeah, Mr. Happy was at attention, and I had to pee something fierce."
"D'you just bend it down and go?"
"No, I sort of spread my legs in a wide stance, and lean over the bowl so that I dont have to bend it down so much. Still got a lot of spray, and it did that twin stream thing for a moment."
"Oh, yeah. I hate that. You know, I've got a random woodie right now. Is it appropriate to deal with it in the men's room?"
"Yeah, though take a magazine, and hold it a little across your end-zone, you know? So people dont know you dont need those Viagra spam emails to be Smilin' Bob."

I have never, in 38 year, spoken to another man about his dick or mine. It is not done. Like talking to someone in the bathroom while they pee. Shut the hell up and do your business, this aint a damn social club.
I gather women talk about this stuff all the time, but whiskey tango foxtrot, if I'm gonna talk to one of my friends in the bathroom, its gonna be the pros and cons of LB-10X Autocannons or what I like and dont like in the new Shadowrun ed., not the use and maintenence of my dangly bits.
Heck, I dont even talk to my wife about my dick, and she's got far more of a vested interest than anyone else I know.

Basically, are there any harms to masturbating as much as I do?
Also, how do I make the boners go away without masturbating the night before? I try thinking about nasty shit (the usual way I get rid of boners) but it does not work.
A main harm you'll experience is if you have a gf and you jerk off too many times before you have sex that you lose interest in it.
As for losing a boner there is no real way to easily lose one except to think of something thats the opposite of sex, like... math problems.
1. Never make eye contact
2. You may only talk with someone on equal footing (i.e. you are both washing hands or using urinals).
2b. Conversations in which one party is in a stall are not kosher.
2c. If you are in line for a urinal, don't talk to the person at the urinal.
3. When possible, keep at least one urinal space between yourself and the other guy.
4. Don't "drop trou" at a urinal. If you're that worried about bending your johnson, use a stall.
edit: I forgot the one that is most relevant to the discussion
5. Do not wank in a public restoom.

When you're a spy, it's a good idea to give away your trade secrets in a voiceover on a TV show.
I have to agree with Sword_of_Light that, for most people, this is a conversation that can only be had in an online semi-anonymous forum.
It's unfortunate, but because of social taboos it's true. However, by the popularity of the forum it's apparent that there's many things that men (A) want to talk about on this subject and (B) sometimes NEED to talk about on this subject, to realize that what they're doing is perfectly normal if for nothing else.
So I'm very glad that we can all have this conversation.
Now, on to another topic...
7, Cynic Jester? How? If I may pry... did it end up being painful eventually? I've never even come close to 7, I don't think it's physiologically possible for me. For some reason, I feel a strong urge to ask for more details.
Heh, the only person IRL who I've ever met that would have such a conversation with me is my wife. She'll let me talk about this kind of stuff, and she will to me in turn... but aside from that, no one.
I think this has been said alot but a good tip for not getting a boner during school is to drink excessive liquids. Like tons of water. I don't know if it works for everyone but as long as I have to Pee then I won't get a boner, theres the odd occasion when I get a boner and have to pee but usually it works.

I swear, by the time you get it pointed down to the toilet, it shoots out of there with a velocity that has to be approaching the sound barrier.
I long ago stopped trying to point it down and now just pee in the shower.
Having this conversation in real life would be hilarious.
I once got into a debate about whether it was grosser to A) touch oneself or to menstruate.
Not surprisingly, boys said B, girls said A.
Really? I guess most of my female friends are comfortable enough with their bodies not to freak about masturbation. We end up discussing it maybe a little too much; of course, my male friends get to hear me fuss about both masturbation and cramps, often in the same conversation. Poor guys, haha.

On a school trip to sydney (6 hours) one of the kids openly admitted to "____'s Happy Time" in the bus toilet
The most I've masturbated in one day was six times, and I even tried for seven. Unfortunately, as I started the seventh time, I noticed a burning whenever I touched the back of penis. It turns out I was chafed pretty bad, and for the next two-three days it felt like someone was pricking me with a needle whenever my penis touched anything, including underwear (it was that sensitive).
Needless to say, I have never masturbated more than three times in one day since.
And thanks for all the advice in the thread; I didn't necessarily think that too much masturbating caused "blindness" or some kind of disease, but instead that it might decrease my sex drive and/or make me orgasm faster when I finally do have sex (which I see now that it won't, considering I am not doing it in excess and it is not affecting my pursuit of women).
And as for the getting rid of boners thing by putting my boner in my waistband, well, I have tried that and it actually hurts the sensitive skin on the back of my penis. Mostly I just think about really nasty things (like the girl I like smashing my penis with a brick works well), and that has been working quite well for me lately.
Anyway, thanks for all the advice.

I think thats just natural, I don't know the mechanics but something about extra blood pressure or something...not really sure lol.
what are you
I was 14. I came across my uncles porn stash when I was watching his house over the weekend. Things went downhill from there.
You could do it willfully, but it would be a better idea to just find a head. Like, health-wise and social-acceptability-wise.
