Can it?

>>18672009
Porn and daily masturbation are absolutely ordinary, typical and in no way unhealthy for a young man.

You may have it backwards. It is your anxiety and absence of an out-of-the-house life that is leaving you with little to do with your time than porn and masturbation.

This

Yes
There might be lots of reasons for anxiety but daily fap to porn is definitely one of them
You feel anxious because you have something to hide and also you watch other men fuck women while you are alone, you think your body doesnt pick up on that? It does and changes your hormonal balance accordingly.

No.

>low energy

maybe

>not wanting to get out of the house?

No.

> Im doing it once a day.thanks

fapping is not a medication, you do it whenever you want you faggot

>wants to quit porn and fapping

Why ? Turning gay already ? Tell me a single reason why do you think that it would benefit you if you stopped fapping.

I disagree with you. I think every man has a story where he was super aroused and wanted to go out solely to find someone to fuck, yet his arousal took over, he edged just for pleasure without the intention of cumming, yet he came and afterwards ended up not going anywhere.

Alright, fapping is intended to kill your sexual drive when it is not needed. You can also develop anxiety of watching people fuck while you can't but these situations are rare and generally happen only to emotionally unstable kids.

In general, this does not happen. If you want to go out for a more common reason, like going to grab some beer with friends then fapping beforehand won't affect you in any way.
Except killing your sexual desire but that's obvious.

>anxiety

Dude, literally ANYTHING can cause anxiety, because anxiety is an emotional response, which is based on your mindset which is extremely dynamic, malleable, and programmable, and covering a wide range of emotions if you're healthy.

tl:dr of course

im mostly anxious about going outside, very self concious that people are watching me and laughing at me, its kinda associated with my shortness of breath etc

It can cause all the above. Anybody who says otherwise just wants to justify their loser habit and are too scared to change.

THIS. Fucking for fuck sake, you'll see all these people post here about how cutting masturbation and porn changed their life, despite the fact that it's actually the REPLACEMENT of masturbation and porn with more productive activities.
You ever notice how no one talks about trying to do a "NoInternet", or a "NoInside" for a month? Right. That would be to difficult. It's easier to put the blame on to something that is considered by some to be morally wrong, than to actually look at the real cause of your anxiety and depression. You never see people coming online saying "Oh yea, I stopped going on the internet for a month" or "Yeah, I went outside everyday.". Instead its, "Woah! I stopped masturbating and replaced masturbation with other more productive hobbies! I guess masturbation was the culprit? GUYS STOP JERKING OFF!11"
Only if you do masturbation excessively (and this varies from person to person) is it a bad thing. If it starts cutting into your time of doing other important stuff, then maybe you should cut down on it. But the real thing anyone should cut down on is time spent indoors alone, and time spent on the computer.

I still have the same hobbies as when I quit. Yet somehow I'm able to talk to people and look them in the eyes now. Placebo, huh?

>>18672382
Yes.

i dont think its a placebo really, i was at situatins in life where i couldnt look at porn and masturbated and ive noticed decreased anxiety , more confidence and so on

What were the situations that caused you not to be able to look at porn? Were your around other people a lot? Were you busy? Those things can have an effect on your mood.

Jerking off a lot is something you do when you don't have much going on. It's correlated with depression, but the relationship isn't causal.
