Do we have a problem with masturbation or overmasturbation

    I was wondering about this issue as I had started a Nofal challenge on July 15 for 3 months and into my first 45 days I had this depression and libido that sky rocketed every morning and my exercising energy was poor, I eventually fapped on one morning and had the best orgasm in a long as I can remember and felt great and had an amazing day at the gym and the tracks where i jogged for 1 hour approx, then I realized was my problem with the act itself or the addiction, I decided then to fap once a week only and had maintained such promise till this day and each one is better than the last and I feel great, is it smart to go cold turkey or just simply minimize the number of times we do it, it could be the frequency and not the act, and btw I never watch porn it disgusts me all the spit and the rest of it

    Do as you like. For me, the problem is that once I start masturbating again, I do it more and more often and end up again doing it every day. Yeah, my counter doesn't look like that, but I think I've got a decent streak starting again right now. I also have no need of masturbating without porn. When urges hit, I am always craving porn. It goes hand in hand for me, although before NoFap I used to masturbate without porn, too. I guess by now fapping to girls I find attractive in my fantasy feels more repulsive to me than fapping to anonymous girls on the web. So it might be individual. If you feel as great as you say, and if you are able to feel comfortable without increasing the frequency, then there is no need to force yourself to abstain.

    If you were ever addicted to masturbation, it sounds like you have rebooted to me. IF you want to masturbate it's up to you.
     
  4. Well I certainly do. I'm not just addicted to porn but also masturbation. It's harder for me to keep it limited tho than just stop it all together. So going cold turkey would be the best thing for me. But for you it might not, we all are different. If you have no problems keeping it limited and your current energy levels, health, and everything else that semen retention can give, satisfies you then there is no point for you to stop completely.
