Hello, firstly I want to appologise if this is not the best place to ask this question, but let us all keep open mind since this is the health and fitness forum.

First off, d confessions that I am 20 yrs old and I have just realise I have been TFK almost every days (usually once/day, most ever is 2 times, but only very occasional) for 6 yrs alreadi and recently this year I have began to reduce the number of times because 1) I suddenly start to become bored of it (may be sign of mature mind ?) and 2) because of health concerns..
2.1 I came to realise my posture has become worse because of doing it
2.2 Read that ppl online say it is not good during 20/30/40's as it may lead to disease and problems
2.3 Recent 3 months I have been having stomach troubles, but I am not sure what is the cause - I burp a lot after each meal like there is always a lot of "air" in stomach. I do not know if this has any relations to TFK or if it is just psychological thinking, as the burps come quite freqently (but not always) and a lot of burps at night. So happens nowadays I also do not TFK that often...

Anyways,since teh frequent stomach air come in April and also want to "turn over new leaf", I started writing down days to reduce. I have reduced from TFK once per day to once per 1.5 days in April (19 times), once per 2 days in May (15 times) and this month is my record once per 3 days (9 times). These numbers are average, but uneven.. (eg. sometimes during weekends I do it 3 days in a row, then after taht didn't do for 6-8 days).

My plan is to stop this bad habit once and for all in next month. But I am looking to seek advice if there are any side effects like disease or health issue if I suddenly stop TFK? Because the body may be already be conditioned for so long to do once a day, then reduce, and then suddenly stop?

If you stop, you will get d*** cancer in a year or two

how old are u?

you mean you start TFK since your 14 years old ?! i only know those thing when i was 20.....

whats wrong with kids nowaday......

btw, the "burps" might be cause by your eating habit....

did you eat 3 meal per day? maggi or fast food doesnt count as square meal....

Well, 2.1 and 2.3 is nonsense. TFK is not the cause of it.

And for 2.2, there have been research that both agrees and disagree of a correlation between TFK and cancer, but otherwise, I do not remember anything preverse coming out of doing it too much.

IMHO, it is psychological. As I subscribe more to behavioristic point of psychological view, I'd say you have associated TFK with pleasure (well, tis true..) and thus you continue to derive joy from it. So, start doing other things when you feel like TFK, take your mind off it, that really helps.

I am 20 =.=

To your disappointment, yes I started earlier and I don't think i am the only one. I am planning to change that however.

Yes I have 3 meals per day, but yes I agree with your point - sometimes I eat quite little for lunch/dinner and on weekends I wake up late, nvr eat breakfast. I feel that my stomach is more sensitive to timing these few months. I MUST eat around 7 am, 12 pm and 6 pm to reduce a lot or have no burping. Also seems to occur when I sleep anytime after 12 am when in bed, so I try to sleep earlier recently and change my routine.

About the TFK part, to explain further, last time I do it daily because of there (and my sometimes dirty mind) being "itchy" for some, then it slowly turn into habit, this few months both "dirty mind" and "habit" extinguish and I only do it for stress reduction only. My plan to substitute stress reduction with sleep instead so instead of TFK in july, I will try to focus on other thing or just sleep to prevent myself.

I am only scared of the effects... since I have been doing it for so long, what is the future effect? How about effect after stopping?

aiyo, the solution is obvious lah. Get yourself a girlfriend lah

Don't fret about the 'dirty' thing. I do not see anything wrong with masturbation, it just just anyone way to experience sexual orgasm. You ever heard of the joke that when you feel horny, go take a cold bath? That do work, as you are merely associating a thought with a unsatisfying action. Your brain will learn soon that everytime it have a sexual thought, it will end up being in cold water.

So, subsitution works, maybe go take a walk or do some pushups or whatever when you do feel bored and wants to TFK, it will allow your mind to refocus on something else.

As I've said, there is no concrete research that mentions TFK causes anything, even the correlation between that and testicular cancer is poor, thus I do not see any problems.

ya i know so i use the term "kids" instead of "kid"

i agree with fuzzy. correct your mind set. DONT 24/7 day day time time everywhere think of those itchy stuff...its ok when you saw some "wow" stuff and think bout it, but get back to yourself and think normal stuff after that.

for me , the only thing you have to worry bout TFK is ur hygiene (on ur "important part", do clean it after TFK/daily to prevent cancer around ur batang...i'm serious bout this) and forcefully do the TFK (meaning, cannot stim already but you still force "it" to stim, this will lead to mati pucuk, and i'm serious bout this too)

i guess every gents here go through ur time. my opinion is that as long ur body are healthy, the tfk habit does not need to be stop
cuz ur body have use to that kind of life style. so if you suddenly stop all the TFK activity (assuming you are health now) at all, i fear that ur body might not use to it. it will be best if you reduce ur TFK frequency it little by little (exp : last time 7 day per week, now start with 5 per week , then after a 3 week like that reduce it again to 3 times) to avoid sudden "shock" to your body.

DO NOT stop TFK AT ALL ... TFK are just like sport, need practice too. you stop too long time then later when you're old you will find that you cant do it cuz lack of practice. (but everyday ? no no... try reduce it so ur body can have some rest ...).

the good thing about breaking this habbit is it will naturally come out if you stop doing it meaning youll often have wet dreams, try it. Proven, because ive experienced it.

Thanks for the advice everyone, I have currently manage to reduce to once per 3 days which is around 2 or 3 times a week and manage to not get "addiction withdrawal" effect (cuz I heard tfk is addicting and I agree)

another one concern I have is before I found out to tfk shortly before shower.. Is I used to TFK in my underwear (yes it sounds disgusting but many would agree it has better "friction") and only wash up later (depends few mins or few hrs) then only go shower. this was around 2005-08) Would this have any negative effect in long term?

I forgot to mention another reason I want to stop/reduce is also I realise the hassle of deal with clean up later and also it can be tiring, means I will waste a lot of time slacking or resting around

Yes, it carries the negative effect of having to buy more underwear due to wear and tear effects in the long term.

Hello. Er.. sorry to disturb this male talk, but I can't help myself but wonder what is 'TFK'? I know what you guys are referring to, but why call it TFK?

You wonder what is TFK but you know what we a referring to?

So that's it? How bout any effect on the skin in the area "down there"? So far no itches or changes or anything [knock on wood]

Come to think of it, I never really thought about it. I just know what TFK means, but have no clue what it has to do with beating/taking ride on planes

before talking about the negatives and positives of TFK..........
here's a thought..........
what are the difference between having sex and TFK?

Err, the first one has 2 ppl, 2nd one involves only yrself and ur hand?

the process is roughly the same no?
and your body doesn't know the difference......result is the same...........
conclusion you do on your own...........

I thought masturbation is normal? Chill bro. You are over-analyzing.

lol at first I don't, but after reading a few posts, it's obvious what TFK is referring to.. but I mean, what is T-F-K.. it's obviously an abbreviation, but to what word? Sorry I'm malay, if it's some chinese word, obviously I wouldn't know what it is hehe Like how I learned in this forum FFK actually is an abbreviation of Fong Fei Kei haha
