Don't worry, but if you are TOO conscious of this, go see a therapist.

Like the person above, I would suggest seeing a therapist. Nobody is going to look down on your for acknowledging that you may have a problem, and I think that you should be proud of yourself for speaking out about it and asking for help. I wish you all the best.

Here is your golden opportunity to shape your entire future. You have already started on the right path by asking for help! Good for you. Seriously. A lot of guys have just felt embarrassed and ashamed, and then, because they did not get help, they kept doing it. When you are feeling out of control like that, that's what happens.
I think you may have the early stages (or maybe not early) of a sexual addiction. This is VERY TREATABLE. You CAN get better!
But a lot of the time, regular doctors and even regular therapists don't know what to do. You need to see a therapist who specializes in sexual addictions. They are very nice people who really know what they are doing. You will be treated with kindness and respect and I promise you, IF you go and get help, you CAN stop this, and gradually lose the desire, too. You can find other, healthy ways to be sexual.
It is very important that you STOP this behavior now. It might be very hard, and you might feel really anxious - think of it kind of like withdrawal from drugs. But every time you masturbate to an image, you reinforce your sexual attraction to that image. So that's why it's so important that you stop yourself.
How to stop? That's the hard part. Well, it will really help once you start getting some help from an expert - first - go online, google 'therapist sex addiction' in your area. Call them on the phone - when you find one that seems OK, make an appointment and go see them. Get the bus information in your area, hopefully you have buses where you live, and GO!
But how to pay, that can be a problem. If your family has good insurance, that helps, but it is very hard to find FREE counseling of any type. I hope this will work - you can ask the therapist if they can help you figure out how to pay. Or you can ask your parents to pay - You can just tell them that you are dealing with something very very stressful, you found this counselor you really want to go to, and will they pay? Tell them about your problem if you trust that they will react in a helpful way. If not, just say that you are not able to tell them at this time. Tell them that you hope to be able to tell them when you have worked it out with the help of the counselor, but you just can't yet. Then, you can decide later - with the counselor's help - if and how to tell them.
If they can't or won't pay, try this - Google Sex Addicts Anonymous, or Sexaholics Anonymous, or Support Groups for Sex Addiction. They are free support groups. They don't have a professional therapist, just other people struggling with (and overcoming!) sex addictions. You can get really good advice and help from the people there. And understanding. In fact, it might be a good idea even with the counseling.
In the meantime, every time you have a thought that you know is wrong and you want to stop, instead of just trying to 'stop', REPLACE IT with something else. Like, call a friend, or cook, or go for a walk, or anything from a list you make for yourself ahead of time that will make you DO SOMETHING that you think is healthy. If you go to one of the support groups, they say it's best to call one of the other people from there who know what you are going through, and it's better to call and talk to someone than things that keep you alone. Anyway, it's easier to do a 'do' than it is to not do a 'don't'.
It is VERY important that you take it seriously, for your own sake, as well as the sake of the other kids. You will not regret it. In fact, you will look back and be so proud of yourself for changing the direction of what could have been really bad into something good and healthy. And someday, maybe you will be the one helping out other people in your same situation.
You've already started by asking for advice. You will be OK, as long as you keep trying to do the next 'right thing' - I will pray good things for you. I wish you all the best.

Well, that is certainly an interesting story, you are normal, there is nothing wrong with what you did and thinking of family members sexually isn't wrong it's natural and subconscious. Sexual attraction to women, even family, comes with puberty and is uncontrollable anyone who tells you they haven't masturbated or thought of a family member sexually is a liar, that's all there is to it.

1. Through school. You might not know it, but most schools have a Christian club or two on campus. I you have organizations like Young Life, FOCUS (fellowship of christians in universities and schools), or FCA (fellowship of christian athletes) (you don't actually have to be an athlete), you can contact the organization's staff person for your school and ask to talk (I would recommend finding a guy, since it's much easier to talk about this kind of thing with someone of your own sex.)
2. If your school doesn't have any Christian organizations or if there are no male staff people who you can talk to, try browsing the websites of local churches. Find one with a youth pastor, and send him an email, introducing yourself and asking about setting up a meeting. I would, however, recommend that you find the right kind of church for this. Any church more focused on politics than faith (left or right) is definitely not the place. The best place would be a non-denominational church (but not a mega-church) because those are the most reliably welcoming to strangers. I'm praying for you! You can beat this.

What you should do take responsibility for what you did and hold yourself accountable.
The emotional pain what you are experiencing is the result of a deep fear of being confronted with your deeds in anyway and probably a deep desire that it would not have happened .
You don't want to be what you did that's te coop.
Instead of whining about your deeds every day try to be hard to yourself and want it to be part of your past, of your personality, of you.
You can make start with trying to acknowledge it every day and visualizing that you are being confronted with it.
In the beginning it will suck, but the pain, fear and axiety you feel will soften in time.
Greetings
