...it needs to breath.
This is such a good technique. Not really a technique but a self-discipline and self-control type of thing.
Right when I got into the game a few months ago I quit masturbating cold turkey for about 5 days. I did notice that I felt hornier when I would see a naked female on the internet (without touch it of course) than I did before.
I went from jerkin 1 or 2 times every day to none at all. It helps imo.
However I slowly fell back into the dirty cycle, the cycle that tells my brain (or my "superego" infers) that i'm getting pussy. Also, that I will not get pussy because i'm staring at people fucking on the internet. WELL, my sexual drive lowered when socializing with females that it just sucked. Then stumbled upon Chief's sexual attraction post which led me to GWM.
I'm 3 days sober....
( ! However, I believe it IS healthy to do it seldomly. Not every day or two. I mean wait a full WEEK if you aren't getting any, then I view that as mentally healthy. THERE IS MODERATION TO EVERYTHING)
