My opinion of masturbation is that too much, excess is bad for your health and your love life.

You guys should really really try to get rid of this stupid habit. I will be honest and be brave and state that I used to do this honeysuckle when I was a teenager up until my late college years.

All you do is jack off to porno/adult material, and you lose that vibe, that energy that you need to ask a girl out on a date or to talk to a girl. So dumb of me to do this stupid habit while a teenager in high school and in my undergraduate college years. This is why I never started dating until my really really late 20's. (well, I was also in graduate school and was super busy where I didn't have time for porno viewing)

I will tell you this guys, and maybe it varies from person to person.

But when I had girlfriends, platonic girlfriends that is, my masturbation urges went down to near ZERO. Yes, when you have a female mate (even platonic), I myself at least had this proud feeling where my urges to jack off went away. Guarantee.

Masturbation also makes you weak. When I used to spank the monkey, I would be really tired and hardly be able to lift weights.

But like I've said, this varies from person to person.

However, when I was in platonic relationships in the past, and stopped my masturbation habit, I could definitely lift more weights and run longer distances when jogging in the park.

When on the treadmill at the gym, my speed of running and duration also lasted longer when I stopped masturbating. Yes, I can run at a 5.7-6.4 speed on a treadmill for a long duration on weeks or months when I stopped this habit.


That's my spiel on my soapbox on masturbation and how detrimental it is to your love life, and even your physical life.

What about someone who is frustrated?

Someone who's habit has changed to much less frequent. 
In your opinion is it really detrimental when they again do it once or twice in a month ??

Yes. I am sorry i ever read that subredit. Wild claims

More confidence? Girls suddenly paying attention? 
What hapoens to the guy stops masterbation and still not meeting women??
Same example. Someone may like playing music on radio more than reading. (the 10 minute guy lets say) . So if he read for 15 minutes and got stressed, so he had to stop. He felt better. Now its his choice to play music or not. If he does, there is a possibility that the song may be the one he likes or maybe not. And if he doesn't choose to play music, he will still be relaxed, because he personally felt stressed by reading, so he stopped. He will stay far from the music being good or bad until and unless he starts the radio.

Consider the analogy. Music on radio = meeting women.  Reading = masturbation.  song he likes = success in meeting women  not the song he likes = failure in meeting women
 
I'm just here to state that after an orgasm you release chemicals which make you tired, so technically it's irrelevant whether the cause was masturbation or sex. Moderation is the key. Some guys could get pretty amped up and stressed without any sexual relief which would be just as detrimental to their well-being (physical and mental) as the lack of drive caused by overzealous "self-love".
 
For me, I think the sexual tension and build up
Causes me to feel just as tired, stressed. Fatigued.
Due to lack of knowing I won't have any release. That in itself can make you tired and depressed.


Know what I mean? Like if someone is starving.
And they know they might never get a meal.
That is not a good feeling

Ladies might have to help me out with euphemisms for fingering.  

Fingering? Ha. Flick the bean.....That's where the fun is found :club:


Also, the "choke the chicken" thing is new to me. Does it still function when the head comes off? :D

The master wanted to spank me. And spank me good, he did.
 
Speaking of your threads going off topic, it's your fault this time. Just saying.

Fap, no fap, doesn't really matter unless you are doing it excessively and using it to hide from everything else. I think a better outlet for you would be finding a hobby or going to new places, meeting new people.

You like it when I do things wrong. :club:

Hi, welcome back callie. And what's my fault this time?


I don't have an excessive masterbation problem ( i used to )
Coupled with other poor habits such as sleep. All improved.
Now, part of the creation of the thread was related to no fap.
Meaning they made it sound like if you ever masterbate again once you stop for a period you will die or something.

But, speaking of outlets. Remember another of mine closely related. " sexually frustration to the breaking point" something like that. Yes. I want the real deal. Hobbies won't curb these thoughts desires, unless I was getting sex as an outlet here and there.


So I wonder what's my fault?
 
It's your fault this thread went off topic. lol

But, let's think about this, do you really want to get advice from...REDDIT? I mean, not the best place to go, especially for something like that. I'm not saying it's all bad, but those specific subreddits usually are.

I don't mean get a hobby to replace the sexual aspect. I mean get a hobby and meet new people, go new places as a way of distracting yourself from it. And let's be honest here, the more people you meet, the more chance you have of getting the real deal.
 
No. I just got caught up on it. Forevralone is another one.

Very lame. This is a much better atmosphere than Both.
I don't post there. Waste. I hear about a hobby.
This frustration is almost too strong to focus on anything that bad. Masterbate you say?

Yeah. Not really detrimental to me. Not like it makes me majorly depressed more than I am. Really there is no downside.
I am just able to go weeks. And that makes matters worse.
 
You spend too much time keeping track. How could you possibly be able to do something else with your mind?
 
I do better when I avoid it.  I don't even mean that like I'm trying to take a moral high ground or something, I just mean that I feel more energy, more control of my mood, better focus, stronger, faster, and sharper of mind.  It might all be a placebo, but that's what I feel anyway.  On the other hand, if I'm in the habit, I feel like I'm drowsy, moody, and my focus is pretty bad.  

I also feel like it's counterproductive to my goal of getting a girlfriend.  It's not really something you can have a good conversation with women about, because I get the feeling that most would find it creepy or weak behavior.  I'd rather put that same time and energy towards reading something, watching a documentary or fiction movie/show, trying to get better at a hobby of some kind, trying to come up with bucket list ideas, or even gaming, some of them can be pretty inspiring in their own way and some women like to play and talk about games so it could be something to connect over.

^I'd have to agree with this, I've felt similarly.  Strength when I don't, weakness when I give in.  Definitely losing whatever "vibe" or confidence I'd want to have before talking to a girl.  And when I felt like I was about to get a girlfriend (even though that hasn't happened), I definitely felt stronger, faster, smarter, more positive, and more confident.

More energy? Negative . How long do you guys got without doing it? I have to ask very important questions here..
Are you dating? In a sexual relationship? Have you cut out masterbation entirely? Indefinitely?

BBecause if you tell me you do it once or twice. I felt no positives. And if I did feel for whatever reason. I don't think if i masterbate one or two times within a month all that positive energy is gone? You sound like nofap redit people now.

You don't turn into a dribbling retard after you masterbate. On the contrary. Of anything might help you talk to girls without thinking off ass so strongly. Any thoughts you two big shots??


You two have this thread confused.  Now i feel like i am on nonfapreddit. I am not talking about chronic masterbation here. Not daily not multiple times.  Once or twice every 2 weeks or month ? 

What are your thoughts regarding that?

I don't know man.  I don't claim to be a big shot.  I'm not saying you get "super powers" and I do think NoFap exaggerates some things.  I'm only saying what I've experienced, adding on that it could very well all be placebo.  

Also I think it varies from person to person, like others have said.  Your experience might be different.

I on the other hand, do turn into a zombie afterwards, and it keeps my mind in the gutter too.  I do notice women's features more without it, but at the same time I'm better at enjoying non-sexual conversation with them too.

Personally I would still feel better without it.  But it might be different for other people.
