okay /lit/ i have a problem
i'm 18, turning 19 in 3 days actually...
since i'm still fairly young, i live with my parents and jack off a fuck ton.
i've been getting religious lately, been reading the bible and decided to stop jacking off.
ever since i tried stopping, i could not read for the life of me - i couldn't focus on the book at all. i found myself rereading everything that i had already read because my mind would wander.
is this a known phenomenon or is it all in my head?
pic related, the book i'm trying to read
Just keep reading and not masturbating brother, it's not hard

Congrats on turning to Christianity, man. When I stopped masturbating as a teen, I found it hard to concentrate for a few days. I can read just fine now though.

Hormones are a hell of a thing, anon. The desire for sex is your motivation to go find a good woman, court her, romance her, and marry her.or at least it is for me and my girlplus you're a writer, girls love romantic literature
I somehow get the suspicion this thread is more about you wanting to jack off reading about Nanking that any other thing.

Good grief. Go jerk off and stop being an idiot, OP. Masturbation is natural, healthy, harmless, and not even mentioned in the Bible. Onan's sin has nothing to do with it, and general rants against "impurity" are too vague. Basically it took centuries after the Bible was solidified before it occurred to anyone to be so fucking stupid as to try to ban masturbation. And considering the Levites found time to list bizarre laws and restrictions we ignore today on almost everything, because even devout people aren't that insane, that's impressive. Did your parents sacrifice a couple of pigeons when you were born? Go jerk off and then read a book.

This.
OP I get you are trying to better yourself, but that doesn't mean you need to torture yourself to do it.
