Idk if I'm addicted to masturbation or not...

Just the fact that you are here suggest that you do have a problem.

How is your INRL sex life?

 

Thats what I thought.

Let me put it this way. If you are below 17, you are fine.
if you are below 20, thats a sign of a problem and we need to look at why you dont have a gf (not due to porn)
above 20 is major problem and you need to start focusing on that immediately.

Also if above 20 you should have s atble job and income.
At any age you should be in top physicall shape.

Elaborate

 

You're not addicted. Fapping once or twice a week as a 17 year old is perfectly normal. I know guys who used to fap 7 times a day daily now that's when you have a problem.

 

I say above 30 is a problem. below 20 you're fine. 20-30 is when you should be dating honestly.

 

That is ridiculous! We do not live according to age thresholds.

Exactly bro. You are fine as you are. Ignore that so-called advice.

That is the way forward. Don't edge avoid all porn and anything else that is sexually stimulating. By also refraining from masturbating, it is the quickest way to reboot your mind from instant sexual gratification. Your life will be better and happier as a result. Having a gf is your call and a totally different subject. Just focus on the NoFap challenge. Good luck!

 

You did right choice buddy to leave P and M behind.

No buddy you don't must to find girlfriend before you turn 18,that is personal choice.
I m older than you and i m virgin too and i have no problem to live life in comfort.
Here you can see people with 40+ years old who is virgins,there is no shame.Do how you think it's good

 

couldnt be any truer.

people shouldn't feel ashamed because they are a virgin at 20. its people who say that they should be are the ones to be ashamed.

 

That is a good question. Basically, that is up to you. In my case, I will never masturbate again because it is too entwined with porn and it will just cause me to relapse to porn as well. But from the little you have said, your position sounds quite different. However, that does not mean there is no risk. Even if you do not use porn, you can masturbate with graphic mental images of sex based on the porn you have watched throughout your teens. If you can manage reintroducing masturbation successfully (after the challenge is complete), you need to do it mindfully. Mindful masturbation would mean avoiding sexual imagery and fantasies in your mind. Rather, you can focus your thoughts and attention on the physical sensations you experience primarily from your penis, but all over your body. Does that sound like a possibility for you?

 

Must is a wrong word.
But if you are unable to obtain GF by that age, while wanting a gf, it signals that you lack the skillset or game needed to do that, and it might continue forever unless you change something.

There is no shame also. There is no shame being virgin at 40. It just means missed opportunity of fucking between 20-40, when you were young and at your prime.
no one ever gets younger.

There is too many hopless incels at this forum giving very nad advice.

Also at todays dating market not fucking 17yr old girl when you are 17 means you will never do it. 17 yr gorl doesn fuck anyone above 20 nowadays. You will simply never have that experience.

 

so basically a guy who never had sex is giving advice about sex? WTF?

 

You do not read as it is written,i didn't give any sex advice.I said no one must find girlfriend before turn 18 years old,true right?
If anyone want girlfriend or not that is his personal choice,true right?I don't see anything wrong in my statement.
Just because you disagree with someone doesn't mean you can sow the shit where you want it.
