i really need some advice. on this app, i read many things and by now have realized that many (most) of you ladies are supportive of fellow girls & women exploring their bodies through self-pleasure (nothing against that). however, i wanna ask for help to actually stop doing that! i realize that it is, well... normal thing to do and, as said by many, healthy thing to do in order to get to know your body and sexual preferences. i have had this issue for years, but it is bothering me a lot lately. again, i know that it is said to be healthy and okay, but personally, i don't wanna do it anymore, and i want to stop. i've tried to, but i seem to give in most of the time, especially during my ovulation and/or period. please, i would appreciate it a lot if you had any tips on how to stop this and what to do in order to 'turn myself off' when i am tempted. and please, don't tell me about how okay it is and how normal it is - i genuinely want to stop because of how bad it makes me feel, despite the pleasure and any benefits that come along. thank you. :) ~~~~~~~ UPDATE ; thank you fellow ladies who have commented, but along the way questioned the reasonings behind my decision of actually wanting to stop. long story short, as natural as it is, it's something that i don't like doing. it doesn't feel right to me and i just don't want to do that. i am not confused about it or shy because it's something intimate, i just don't like it - the act of it. the way people are able to say no to anything else, i decided that i wanna say no to this and decided that it is something i don't wanna do anymore, something i want to battle against after being into it for years and doing it each and every time with regret afterwards.i would appreciate it if you provided me with tips, if you have any, and not the defense of the act because that is something i don't need in this situation. it would be a big help. thank you all once again!
