Not really comfortable yet discussing in detail my situation. Basically I’m 19 years old trying to stop MB. 

Hay brother welcome to the family!
Here a hand and a tight hug 

first of all there nothing to be uncomfortable we all are in the same fight it's normal and natural to have such desires 

You are not alone, and you can break free it's sound like Impossible (sometimes)

Here you will get love, warmth and chizuk, 
wait and see

When you get comfortable please tell us
what's on your heart and we will hold your
hands to help break free

keep strong 
with love

Shalom Brother,

Absolutely no pressure. There are lots of great tools here and you can still connect with the chevra and decide later if you want to share more or not.

There is the F2F Program, the Vaad Program (click here for an explanation of what the vaad is), and the book The Battle of the Generation - many have found this very helpful in reframin' the struggle, as you mentioned.
Posting is a great way to connect, learn, and grow also. 
(The Hall of Fame Thread is a great compilation of some the great threads on GYE.)

There is also an extremely powerful tool of accountability, friends, and mentors, as has been mentioned, that has helped hundreds - myself included.

Hi

You are a Yeshiva Bochur! There is so much to you, your are a remarkable asset to the community. Yes, you (just like a great many other bachurim) have a certain challenge. But that challenge does not define you. It is just a single פרט in the כלל.

Remember that your friend is exactly the same. He has מעלות and he has חסרונות, and there is a great deal more to him than what he told your on פורים .

I would venture to say that a very big חלק of your חברים share this same exact struggle.

We have a weakness, we are hopefully trying to control it, but we don't allow ourselves to be defined by it. Same goes for you, save goes for him.

I guess now you know your normal and healthy!

So many of us struggled, mostly cause we were never taught how not to struggle. There is a mehalech, pretty simple actually. 

Getting to understand ourselves, our bodies and our sexuality. Understanding what Hashem wants from us in this crazy world, and having a support system of friends who care for you to beat this.

I would venture to say that the best way to get there is by talking to one of the mentors on here, and keep on posting, we really wanna hear how your doing, there is no more caring and non judgmental place than GYE.

hi how are you doing first of all you  or amazing for reaching out i think a lot of us could have and would have used this when we were bochrim,and to add what the amazing cleanmendy had said you or 1000 percent normal and you dont know how many boochrim unfortunately  go through this by them self what any help advice and ( which prob needs to be discussed y but here, and now is not the place)  ,not even a friend to laugh and share about this,so frisky welcome to this tremendous sight and reach out to the older and just  conked with friends and i which you a lot of hatzlacha in this holy journey

I haven't heard of a Rabbi Kimmel, but what I CAN say is that there are so many amazing people here that want to help, and you can reach out to. I'm around the same age as you and struggled for a very long time with masturbation, feel free to shoot me a message if you want to talk.
