So, I've had an addiction to masturbation for a while now. However, I think I got a wake-up call yesterday. So, I was watching pornography, and I did my thing, and I went to take off my clothes to take a shower (yeah, I typically do it with my clothes on since I like having a few layers between me and my thing so I don't have to touch it), and well, there was blood all over my underwear. So, I decided that then and there I was going to put a moratorium on it until further notice. Why am I telling you guys about this? Good question. Well, I guess the answer being that we have a NSFW sub-forum so we might as well use it So guys, please be weary and make sure to do things in moderation!

I recommend a quitting challenge. Challenge yourself to quit for a reasonable amount of time and then reflect. I did one last year for 130 days. (Goal of 120 days)

How do you know that the blood in your semen is caused by masturbation ?

Also you might want to get checked out by a doctor too ...

something similar happened to me in June 2014, since then I masturbate very rarely (last time is already over 6 months), sex I still do sometimes to please my girlfriend but I can live without sex very quietly.

PS: Of course.. depression has a much stronger weight in the absence of sexual desire than a cut in the skin of the penis that happened years ago.. vgchartz has a great weight in my routine and I'm sure that is one of the main factors why I still haven't thought in suicide .. so thanks to everyone :)

Hmmm... thats never happened to me and I fap a lot.

Blood in your semen? If it was that much, you should see your doc. I checked and saw you’re young, so something serious is less likely, but you should still be seen for it.

Yeah, blood in my underwear would surely stop me too... though having started this... "hobby" when I was 11, I am not sure there is any live tissue left there at all

With your clothes on? How does that even work?

Moderate health expertise.

Two questions:

Is there a cut or a visible wound on the surface of your penis? If so, then you have rubbed yourself so raw to the point that it broke the skin. The clothing and no lubrication is a key factor.

Second, did the blood come from "voiding" (urethra). That could mean infection of the urinary tract and you should seek help for that asap.
