MASTURBATION. I've tested all combinations, masturbation without porn, porn without masturbation and porn with masturbation. What I've found for myself, is clearly masturbation with porn or without is the problem. Porn without masturbation, no problems and even some benefits like increase libido.
Which one? Both are our problems. You can live without both. So, the answer is simple: It doesn't f*cking matter. Just get rid of those from your life.
Porn. You contribute to sex trafficking which whether you watch kiddie porn or not it’s all part of the supply chain to the porn industry. When you M you just waste time and energy.
Masturbation is the real deal man, porn is just an accessory. Think about this: you can accumulate an incredible amount of energy by watching porn every now and then but not releasing your semen by masturbating, but you can't do the opposite. When you release your semen masturbating, your wasting some good energy you should have been investing by chasing girls. I'm talking from experience: i've been almost the perfect fapostronaut since now, this April 17th will be my third years anniversary. I've watch porn sometime, but i masturbated only once since then. Still was able to turn completely my life around and had amazing and incredible improvements regarding my sex life.
I completely agree. I've experience the same with increased energy by watching porn and not ejaculating and a decrease in energy by releasing semen regardless of the source (masturbation, sex, bj, hj, etc). I believe (in my opinion) everyone on here should not try to follow any strict nofap guidelines but test and experiment what works for YOU.
