I overcame masturbation six years ago. It was hard for me to quit. I started masturbating when I was around 10 years. I learnt it from my cousin. She made me to f*nger her when everyone is not around. So when she left, I started practicing it on myself. I tried quitting many times but I failed. But in 2020, I told myself that I won't do this again because the guilt were becoming much on me. I struggled to stay away from it for a week, then two weeks, after three weeks it becomes a bit easier for me. Anytime the thought and urge start coming, I'll start playing music with my phone and it really helped me. For Who masturbate more between men and women, I can't say for sure, but men are moved by sight and they likely do that more than the women.
