What is the truth about porn and masturbation?

see for yourself. just try for a day or two. personally, I quit porn because I feel slightly better without it. no superpowers or other faggot shit. but slightly better, more connected and in the moment. you can still enjoy porn once a week no problem, but you probably better limit it then to an hour or so. if you have the will power. do you? if not, begone completely

The truth is, as usual, somewhere in the middle. Porn and masturbation are fine in moderation, however they can be abused.

as long as you're able to get off without porn when you feel like it you're probably in good shape

I definitely get brain fog for like 12-24 hrs after fapping to porn. Apparently over watching it fucks with your dopamine levels and stuff

So does masturbating without using porn make it any better? I can get off without porn but it feels more fucked up because I am getting off to women I know and shit and doing weird shit to them. Makes me feel odd.

These, this and those.

Moderation. All my masturbation addicts i've known get into it because they are bored.

No-fappers are like straight edge kids. Obnoxious and virtue signalling

Nah I was crazy addicted to porn and masturbating and I'm a girl.

I did the math and I must have jerked off more than 5000 times since I was 10 (I'm 29)

However I always did that moderatly, once a day in average, and I never skipped other obligations for that.

However, I did stop naturally recently, because I have a gf and I take meds that delay orgasm. I just don't feel the need anymore (probably due to age too), and I'm much hornier with her now. I do it every two weeks at most nowadays, but have sex 3~4 times a week.

>and I take meds that delay orgasm
what meds

>>18307641
Anxiety, it's a side effect, anti depressants do it too. I got a better one now, so it's mild, but still noticeable if I fap frequently.

Could that be ... used by someone who has the problem of cumming to early?

This. Normal porn eventually didn't do it so I got into bestiality. 8 orgasms a day, back to back, and it only stopped there because I didn't have the strength to keep masturbating with the female equivalent of death grip. I still don't know how to normally masturbate desu

Not unless you have anxiety or depression diagnosed and prescriptions. Only if your premature ejaculation is clinical, then you might get something like that prescribed.

yeah but its not ass bad. When you are a dude masturbating that much.. it like fucks up your soul. You lose that masculine energy and become basically a cuck.

How does masturbating make you lose masculine energy?

>>18307786
Not him, but.
The before and after feel for sure

I don't know, its hard to explain if you aren't a dude. Its like imagine eating stolen cake? Like yeah you got cake... but you stole it. It just doesn't taste right.

Masturbation is the same way for dudes. Yeah you had sex... but you had sex with yourself. Just feels weird.

Its like you are cheating. You lose energy. Then if you continue to do it, it like eats at you. When you are a girl you don't really need feminine energy and females masturbating doesn't really have the same last effects.

When you are a dude, you like lose the drive to go after real women. Its a fucked up cycle.

You never hear women talking about it because we don't. I don't know why but it is like that. And masturbation addiction is just because you don't got anything better to do or as pleasurable. I do it a lot because a got no hobbies or friends pets etc. so I don't think it's that weird.

Take it from someone who used to do it twice a day everyday at least. It can become an "addiction". You can easily spend more time than you care to admit chasing the rush and anticipation that the first session gives you. Your standards of addiction may be way different than mi e but ultimately when you get to the point that you are isolating yourself and limiting your potential you should really cut back.

You might not see the effects for a few years but when you look back on highschool or college and realize that you didn't have any true friends, hobbies, or accomplishments in a good period of time you will see what it has done to you.

Just like this guy says. You can set yourself into a downward spiral of guilt, depression, and low self worth by masterbating and exposing yourself to unquantifiable pictures of boobs.

Your brain doesn't know that you aren't having sex with all these women and it does actually impact your neural connections.
I'm not saying that you will burn in hell for looking at a boob but long term if you don't check yourself you can mess up your developmental progress and lose the capacity to form strong relationships with other people by not using this social skills.
My advice is to quit now, and find a hobby so you aren't so bored. Make a friend and get out if the house.it will do you a lot of good.
