70 yr old male wants to stop masturbating

When my dear buddy John informed me that he was a 70-year-old man yearning to quit masturbating, it immediately caught my undivided attention.​ He had been a week without any sexual activity and he wanted to get back on track.​ To be honest, I was surprised that a man his age was even thinking about the subject at all.​ He said he was doing it for his overall wellness and I thought that to be quite noble of him.​

It certainly wasn’t an easy decision for him to make since he admitted that it had become a compulsive habit for him.​ He’d been doing it for almost all his life and thus, it required a ‘Herculean effort’ to stop, as he put it.​ In all fairness, I had to applaud him for his earnestness and dedication because doing this alone wasn’t easy.​

But quitting masturbation wasn’t something that could be done over night, so I suggested he focus more on replacing bad habits with better ones and sex dolls gradually learn how to control his urges.​ I strongly advised him to stop, if need be, to have long, refreshing showers that would both cleanse and relax him.​

He also said that he was getting more involved in physical activities as it kept him busy and Penis Rings away from that kind of thinking.​ He had asked me to accompany him to the nearby field, so that we could jog and do some stretching exercises regularly.​ He seemed pretty fired up to start, and honestly, I was rather inspired by his enthusiasm.​

So I urged him to make use of social activities, swapping out his habit of masturbation with going on picnic dates or joining a recreational club or basically doing anything that kept him on his toes and his challenging his grey matter.​ We decided to take it to the next level and we started this initiative to explore different ways of reactive and proactive thinking.​

He also needed to find effective ways to counter his persistent cravings, so he set his schedule in such a way that at any point in time, he was too occupied to even think about it.​ We also started talking about his recent treatments, medication, and other ways to adopt healthier practices and start engaging in more productive daily work.​

Around this time we also realised that he needed to stay connected with his peers and thus, we successfully hustled up some activities that he could become involved in with others.​ From chatting with his acquaintances to even creating an online platform that would allow him to engage in meaningful conversations and discussions, there was no shortage in endeavours for him to explore.​

The one thing that he loved the most was laughing.​ We tried to up his humour as much as we could.​ During our time together, we would sit and joke around, telling funny stories and many a times, also positively point out why it is important to do certain things that you may not feel like doing at the moment.​

He eventually took it upon himself to attend sessions that focused on behavioural, mental and physical therapies.​ He did point out that some of these methods were difficult to work around, but he refused to give up.​ These therapies reinforced the importance of forming positive habits and helped him to alleviate fatigue.​

He clarified that he would still require a bit more time in order to completely quit masturbation, however, it was gratifying to notice his devotion and grit.​ Personally, I was moved by his commitment as he devoted multiple hours for self-analysis and also frequently questioned and monitored his own behaviour.​

Apart from consulting his doctor, he also came across an app that seemed to offer credible solutions for his dilemma.​ He was looking up articles, forum discussions, subs and even exploring a number of self-help books as well.​ He was applying all of this to his daily life, as he aimed and actively participated in beneficial practices that would help subdue his cravings over time.​

What was really encouraging was that he was not only concentrating on his physical well being but was also paying close attention to his mental health.​ He understood that simply abstaining from masturbation was not enough and he proceeded to diligently practice various psychological techniques that were designed to help him stay mindful and conscious in the present moment.​

The truth is, having witnessed his progress and newfound strength, I am both surprised and proud of my friend.​ He is truly a living testament to the fact that age truly is just a number and whatever a person desires, if he or she simply puts in the due effort and maintains a positive attitude, change is attainable.​
