It is so fucking true.


I havent had proper sex for over a year. I'm 21 and used porn at least twice a day. Its got to the point where I can't cum without it.


I'm gonna stop it completely until new year and see what it does for my confidence.

That's because of your own mental handicap though. There is something underneath that porn and masturbation. Not the porn and masturbation it self.

I stopped watching porn a few months ago. To be honest I think it has improved me dramatically. I also masturbate much less than I used to. Once the cravings stop you just kinda lose interest in it and stop wanting it. Plus, I have a theory that most guys over-masturbate and I think refraining from it raises your air of 'sexuality' that girls seem to pick up on. Sexual energy is very powerful and it is designed to be put into women, not computer screens.

I went from daily to once a week. Since the change, I've had many people tell me I'm much more engaging, on the ball and energetic. This isn't just coming from girls. It's coming from co-workers, friends, etc.

It's weird but when that 'day' comes, I really don't care to do it anymore where as when I was doing it daily, it was almost an addiction. Some say it makes no difference, but I'm not one of those people.

From my own personal experience I try to avoid masturbation. Masturbation is ok in 2 cases:

1) when you're doing it in front of your chick to tease her
2) when your chick is doing it for you

Stopping masturbating (once every 2 weeks maybe) has given me quite a lot of advantages:

More drive towards my goals
More drive to meet other people especially women
More self confidence, optimism, funnyness

and believe it or not - even helped with controlling my ejaculation, just don't know how

Masturbating is the worst possible thing you can do to your body in my opinion.

Think about it.

Ejaculation is how life is created. It has the absolute best nutrients in your body, from your food, everything. If you jack off a few times a week you just can't compete. It's as simple as that. Because you are literally taking the best nutrients your body has, the best blood, the best of everything and throwing it down the drain for some physical indulgence. I mean it really is perverted and disgusting. Porn especially. You are sitting in your room watching other people have sex and you are jerking your own dick. It's gross, childish and disgusting.

Find one other animal, mammal or ANYTHING that masturbates. You won't. It's because humans live in a hyper sexualized society. I can find people having sex with the click of a mouse. It's sick.

Think about your dream girl. Now think about her watching you when you jerk off and watch porn. She would be DISGUSTED most likely. I am. Yes, its hard to stop, but I highly recommend it.

You want to be in control of yourself? Control your sexual desire. Then you really become a badass. Sexual desire is the most difficult desire to control. But if you tame that, there is NOTHING that can get to you. You become invincible.

*Sigh

I guess this myth just won't go away.

Apparently skepticism has failed.

Due to the overwhelming number of guys in this post who had had tremendously good results with cutting back on cuffing it, I would say that masturbating is a no-no..

The proof is in the pudding.

I'm going to masturbate once a week because it's healthy to clean out the pipes. But i'll try no more.

This is a logical fallacy on your part. Correlation does not imply causation. This isn't scientific proof of your faulty masturbation science, it's proof that many of you are dog shit deep in ideology and mysticism. None of this garbage is supported by science. Several men masturbate at reasonable amounts and still have happy lives, relationships, marriages, and have plenty of sex. These "results" are no more reliable than testimonials of gay men going straight through Christian programs. Both are based on myth and fantasy.

Science can prove that this is perhaps the healthiest thing to do. "Cleaning out the pipes" helps to keep sperm healthy, fresh, and removes unhealthy sperm. The problem isn't masturbation itself, it is over masturbation. Over masturbation is a "compulsion" not something that causes mental disorders, which means that the habit must have an underlying cause. Thanks for being one of the "few" voices of reason mi1ooo98.

Masturbating once a week cold only have positive effects, Interesting point you raise, suggesting it's the reliance on masturbation that is unhealthy, not the physical act it's self, i see where you're coming from and i agree, dicklow.

See guys, in my view things are not just black or white. Masturbation is neither that bad, nor that good.

On the one hand, I agree that becoming addicted to doing it is bad and it will almost certainly affect your confidence level and your motivation to go out and pick up real chicks. And I'm not saying that there aren't any negative physiological 'side effects' from it, I just haven't heard or read anything of that sort before. It may be just that it's messing with you on a psychological level. But it's that addiction, and as some of you said boredom, that we should battle. But on the other hand, if you are not doing it everyday, like some sort of routined action, masturbation is not bad. Look at it from that perspective -- why not do it once or twice a week, for example after a long and exhausting day when you are alone, just to blow off some steam? I don't remember which philosopher said this, but he claimed that people tend to accumulate pressure which needs to be shaken off every once in a while. My point is that you should do it when you REALLY need to. Furthermore, that sort of thing can help you to not 'finish off' too early. And I may even add that sometimes after I masturbate I feel sexier. Imagine the amount of testosterone that is being released. So I think that it's just the way you react to it that's the real issue, society got us thinking that it's something bad. But don't let it become a habit, though.
