Masturbation between a reboot ?

You should set your own goals. I started this challenge 9 days ago and today I masterubated for the first time. I felt depressed because I got a bad grade from school. When I masterubated, I felt much better. It doesn't have to be bad, but you should learn to control it and it shouldn't control you or your actions. By it I mean the sexual feelings.

 

I would abstain from any sort of self-pleasure during a reboot. It's part of the rebooting process.

 

My 30 day challenge finishes around my birthday and I fully intend to have a wank (without porn). For me giving up porn was the main aim. I took a 30 day challenge to test myself and to give me time away from all things sexual.

you need to figure out why you are rebooting. Occassionaly masturbation will not be bad for you, but if you make it a habit it might prevent you from re-wiring your sexual desires.

 

I am not clear what you are saying Benjy, but you will not reboot in 30 days.

 

As I see it, arrow, most things are good or ok in moderation. For example, fast food is ok if you don't eat it everyday. This includes masturbation.

However, if you are here then you feel that you are addicted to masturbation and/or porn. There for you are unable to masturbate in moderation. Thus, the answer to your question is no. No it is not good. For you masturbation is not healthy.

Having said that. I for am not entirely confident in the so called studies that have come out over the years, that claim that masturbation is good for you. They completely ignore the negative side of masturbation that fapstronauts are here to get away from. All the studies prove is that orgasms are good. Until a study is done that takes porn/masturbation addiction into account the current studies are flawed.

 

I understand that, but I do not believe I had a problem with masturbation. I had aproblem with porn. I quit that. I will end my 30 day challenge, take a beak and begin a 40 day one. slwoly I will increase. But to be honest I know for me that I can masturbate in a psychologically healthy way.

 

I don't think fast food or masturbation is ever good. It might be not THAT bad. Perhaps it might be TOLERATED sometimes. But life without them is preferable. Also, it seems to me, it's easier to avoid these things completely rather than "mostly".
