Moish,

I do try to do that and thanks for the chizuk

Despite my embarssment and I think lack of will power to commit I will still post that I am struggling with masturbation at nights. Maybe at-least if I post long enough i will build up some will power. Last nite was good till 5am.

A silly suggestion. It might work for some people. When you can't sleep get out of bed and take a gemara or shulchan aruch or any serious limud and have a saider for those times. If you  suffer from sleeplessness this will happen a lot and you will end up covering a lot of learning. This way you will feel good rather than bad.

Just a silly suggestion. You may ignore my foolish ideas, but someone told me I should just post what's on my mind so I'm doing that even though what I have to say is probably just silly.

Hashivah, I think that's an awesome idea. While there may be some truth to the oft repeated idea that looking at lust only as a religious issue often doesn't help some of us, I believe we shouldn't leave it out of the equation completely. If you are already involved in learning, as Waydown appears to be, it could be a great tool.
Thanks for posting your "silly" thoughts.

Besides, it's a known fact that learning at night makes you sleepy.

As does Shakespeare and reading maps...

What about gatchkes with a lock

Yesod you were doing boxing recently - how about studded gloves to wear at night - that can work

the issue here may be, that we are wearing kid gloves when we are awake

You mean something like this? Maybe Shteeble wants to add it to his list.

Just curious, is this what you do?
I actually did go to sleep with a gemara in my bed last night, but I wasn't really interested in it when lust came knocking.

Now that's an idea! Though I think I'd be as good of a master locksmith as Shlomo, should the need arise...

Gemara may be to heavy a limud for this time of night anyways. You need something which is light and geshmak. My Father has recommended to me to browse a Teshuvos sefer during downtime, when I'm bored and not in the mood of getting into a sugya. Open up an Igros Moshe. Fascinating stuff there! (Of course to fully follow any Teshuva you need to be holding in the sugya, but it doesn't mean you can't get the main point without understanding all the background.)
