I'm asexual and hate masturbating but I need to do it anyway

[Schizmo]

This might sound weird but I am an asexual who feels a need to masturbate even though I hate it. I have orgasmed before but I think its an awful feeling and yet my body craves it. This has been bothering me for some time now and I just wanted to know if there is anyone else who feels like this and/or is there anyway I can gain control and stop masturbating and putting myself through hell? It's really upsetting that I have this need to masturbate but I don't want to do it at all. Any help with this would be really nice, thanks.

Hello!

I'm not sure if it's similar for me or not, but I have to do that too.

I really don't like masturbating but I have to. It's not that I "have to" because I have desire to or want to enjoy it, it's just not good for my body if I don't do it.

Masturbating is very healthy for a lot of people.

I find it annoying a lot of the time, because I don't like thinking about sexual things. Even though we are asexual, our bodies are still the same as sexual people so we have to take care of our physical needs. It's something some people have to do just like peeing.

Some asexual people (on this site) will insist that no one has to masturbate. Well that may be how it is for them but I know that I get really uncomfortable and physically it's not good for me if I don't do it.

For me just like I have to use the bathroom I also have to do that every now and then.

So I think that if it makes you feel better then go ahead. It certainly isn't enjoyable but I guess its something we have to do.

I hope that helps.

You're certainly not alone; some asexuals love to masturbate, some are indifferent, and others have libido dysphoria (which can obviously vary in intensity). As for how to decrease it, giving in less often may help (though this depends on how intense your libido is and whether ignoring it is possible/if it'll just come back a little while later, if not stronger). If you're female bodied, then birth control can decrease it (though this varies by brand and can also either increase it or not even change it). Also just google it.

I identify in the grey area (don't want anyone doing anything to my genitaIs) but I have a high Iibido which means I get aroused often. For me, arousaI doesn't go away on its own so I'm stuck with it unIess I masturbate to achieve orgasm (which gets rid of my arousaI. I caII it 'baIancing my hormones' which a term I stoIe off Anime Pancake :P). I find arousaI more uncomfortabIe than masturbating, but I find masturbating to be an annoyance.. ExactIy Iike when you have to get up at 6am but you wake up at 3am busting for a piss and it's freezing. You know you won't be abIe to get back to sIeep unIess you get up to piss, but at the same time you reeeeaIIy don't want to get out of bed because it's so coId. EventuaIIy you drag yourseIf out of bed to pee because there is just no other choice. SIGH. That's exactIy what masturbating feeIs Iike for me, that same annoyance IeveI.. but if I don't do it, I'm stuck with the even more annoying feeIing of being aroused, which won't go away on its own and is extremeIy distracting.

I've tried going without and honestIy that just makes me horny 24/7 Y_Y ..Maybe you couId try just forcing yourseIf to masturbate Iike 5 times a day every day, untiI your body is just so over it that it gives up and you don't get horny anymore. Maybe I'd try that myseIf but MEH I don't want to do it any more than I have to >.<
