No P for 110 days (but with M). Have flatine, reason M or other?

That whole study that masturbation is healthy is, in my opinion, a crock of sh*t. Maybe if said masturbator has never had an addiction to pornography, then possibly. I honestly feel like those studies where docs paid off by the porn industry, seeing as masturbation and porn go hand in hand (possible tinfoil hattery).

For me, I gave up porn real easily. I knew it was a false portrayal of real sex, and I didn't want that garbage in my life anymore. But I hadn't stopped fapping until just recently. And it's when I stopped fapping that the real withdrawal symptoms hit. It made me realize that I was still getting that fix my brain craved, and I couldn't make any more excuses. If you really truly wanna beat this and reclaim your life, go cold turkey. NoFap, no fantasy, no nothing. It'll be hell, no lie. But it's the true way to reclaiming your sexuality and yourself.

 

Masturbation is why you aren't seeing results.
If you want to change yourself do not EVER masturbate. Literally never. Eradicate it from your life. It has absolutely no health benefits. It is equal to flushing your soul down the toilet.

 

On the topic of masturbation and it's healthy-Ness, I would have to disagree. The human body naturally releases via sperm through urine or nocturnally. Heck I never fapped until I was 24! I still remember my first time. No porn, no fantasy, but, after having awakened myself to orgasm, I started craving more stimulation. Which in today's world, the easiest way to get that was Internet porn. We humans will always find the easiest and quickest path to things, and since porn is so readily available and is such a super stimulus, it's no wonder so many young men wind up addicted to it!

In regards to me when I quit fapping, my first two weeks were horrific. Bad anxiety, panic attacks, sleepless nights. As where I am now, after one slip up on Dec. 25, the anxiety is gone, I have had oodles more confidence with practically every aspect of my life. In going to the gym 5-6 times a week, taking cold showers and generally feeling better. That being said, I know I am recovering from an addiction. So I will have days or even weeks like today, where I feel down and low energy. Going cold turkey, while exacerbating the symptoms, shortens the whole process substantially. I personally will not be going back to masturbating, for both reasons of honoring God and because that's what got me into darkness in the first place. If you are able to without fantasy or external stimulation, props to you. Just be wary.

 

Do not masturbate. I can't say that from personal experience, because I'm only in the beginning of my hard mode streak right now. However, I don't believe there is very much difference between masturbating to porn and masturbating to one's fantasies. It is always an energy drain, and a way of giving in to your own cravings. It's a waste of your life.

As for the argument that animals do it, that should not sway your decision at all. One thing that separates human beings from beasts is that we have the ability to resist our animalistic desires. We practice self-restraint and self-denial. When a man gives in to a natural desire against his better judgement, then he becomes less of a man, and more of a beast.

To elevate yourself, do not masturbate. Many people here think that porn is the main issue, but I disagree. I think masturbation is the big boss that we must fight, and that porn is something that (while it causes many problems of its own) draws one into a trap and makes fighting the big boss much more difficult.
