what's your view on masturbation?

[Packers2010]

hey guys, lately i have take up the challenge of not masturbating ( have also stooped watching porn). i haven't *** since last Thursday. I personalty find this hard as i used to be a "serial wanker" who had the mentally of " 2 wanks a day keeps the wet dream away" now i want to be a productive member of society.

the reason why i started this is i felt like it was taking over my life. you can laugh about it. but for me it was always like. " ok so i will wank then and look at this porn" some days when i was off work or school i would just stop what i was doing and i would just wank. so no reason at all. it's a stupid way to live and it needs to stop!

I was wonder what your views on this are? or has anyone else tired to do something similar. i know this would be at lot easier if i was getting sex, but right now i am not. for obvious reasons.

what are your guys thoughts on this and / or if you have anything encoring to say please post

I've cut down from 2-3 times a day to once every 2-3 days. I'm gradually aiming for once a week.

One big tip to succeeding is to preoccupy yourself with other things. If you can do activities that don't involve the computer, even better because the temptation to go on porn isn't there...e.g read paper books instead of ebooks, go to the gym, listen to music on your portable mp3 player instead of on the computer etc.

I also found that once I lost my virginity, sex wasn't such a big deal anymore, so the urge to masturbate went. This isn't the same as having a lower sex drive. I feel energetic but I don't see masturbation as a really big part of my daily routine anymore because once I had sex, it was demystified and so I could focus my mind on other areas of my life.

Usually looking down so never see the underside. Kind of like the moon I guess.

It's fun and relaxing. 2 times a day isn't taking over your life. It's not an unhealthy addiction unless you stop your normal activities, and it disrupts your every day life. Instead of jerking off on your day off, you'd take a day off so you CAN jerk off. Or jerking off while at work.

This whole idea that masturbating disturbs your game is heresy. It makes you more relaxed, not as tense, and you don't blow as hard. Didn't you watch There's Something About Mary?

There isn't a code or rulebook to follow, here. This isn't a clique.

for the younger dudes i think its good to not masturbate as a way to focus your sexual energy towards women

for the guys closer to my age, not masturbating would be a bad idea, as regular ejaculation is good for the prostate

i disagree about masturbating before interacting with women being helpful. i've had better results being horny and ready to go than i have being in my refractory period

Thx I appreciate that. I have been abstaining for about a week and a half, and I feel like there's so much tension in me.

I mean the kind of tension you get when you feel like you could kill someone, but this time it's not negative like that, it's positive energy.

 

[floydb25]

Different strokes for different folks... Not literally... I find myself being much more horny, pushy, and over-eager when not doing it.

 

[Packers2010]

well i lasted 6 days.. there are merits to both ways. . though i will try last 3 days before i do it again i think.

i think what my problem is all the porn i was watching.. made some reality i could never live up too.

According to ancient knowledge every time you ejaculate you are losing your LIFE FORCE. When you masturbate to a woman on the computer screen you are losing your life force to an image. At least bust a nut with a real woman!

From a metaphysical point of view masturbation is just wasting away your life force. But if you don't believe in metaphysics than you probably don't care.

Consider one ejaculation which represents a single tablespoon of semen contains the same amount of nutrients as four full course meals. Or eight ounces of steak ten eggs six oranges two lemons. A man requires 1-3 weeks to replenish the nutrition required to manufacture one healthy ejaculation containing 500 million spermatozoa.

f283000, can you provide a reference for that? I'm working on the second edition of my eBook on this topic.

I keep a notepad with notes and I found it there I didn't have a source for it.

I do have 1 video lecture you can watch which goes into great detail about ancient sex knowledge

Dr. Alim Bey: Holy Orgasm {Sexual Enlightenment} "Cultivating male and female Sexual energy" pt.1

There's several parts to this lecture so be patient it gets better as it goes along. He does give a lot of occult knowledge in the later videos.

I think watching too much porn is more of a problem than masturbation itself.
Everytime I go a week without porn(This is the second time I've done it, I'm on Day 7), around 4 days from no porn I'm going crazy just a little bit. And it gets worse day by day. Though, I am abstaining, not because I think porn is bad, I think it's great. But, because I'd rather have more time on my hand than watching porn every night, though I am unemployed. I still want to make useful time.
Masturbation itself is something I can't quit. I'm anywhere from doing it consecutive nights to once every couple days. Just depends.
In conclusion, watching porn while masturbating is the key problem, not masturbation itself.
Edit: For what it's worth, I've went out sarging Day Game style after I whacked to some porn one time and I felt much more nervous and anxiety-ridden for some reason.

OP do you think the problem is masturbation or is it frustration, boredom etc actually ?

Try EFT bro, might help.

its nonsense - its about the same nutrition content as one egg - although of course takes more energy than that to create - maybe twice/3 times as much.

and masturbating gets you nowhere and takes time/focus/energy away from important things - overall loose loose

 

[backseatjuan]

In comparison to orgasm it's absolute bs. One orgasm gets me satisfied and happy and is enough for a day. I tried jerking off to extend my time in bed, had no effect, and felt literally like simply a release - nothing special. Get gf.

You'll get lots of different views on this one, OP.

For me, masturbation is a drain on my time and my sexual energy. Last year I masturbated almost every day, barring a couple of times when I tried to give up, and it meant that I found it hard to keep it up when I was with a real girl. I also found that, in the vast majority of cases, I preferred my hand and some porn to a real girl. I decided in mid-December that this cannot be healthy and that I needed to change.

As of 3 weeks ago, the new me masturbates once a week, every Sunday if I haven't had any action that week. Giving up completely is, for me at least, completely unrealistic. I have given up porn completely, so when I masturbate now it's just me and some thoughts of real life girls.

how is not masturbating going to help exactly? I don't have a pattern, sometimes twice a day sometimes 3 times a week... I don't see that it alters my behavior, it also helps me relax and be less miserable if I go more than 3 days without masturbating, sex would be the only thing I could think about, I can't focus on anything else, so it is bad for me, and my job

If anyone wants an in-depth eBook on this subject, PM me. I have an eBook for sale at $9.97 that covers this whole topic in detail.

As for the prostate issue, you can have an orgasm without ejaculating to conserve sperm and relieve pressure on the prostate.

I'm trying to cut down to once a week. I find that jerking off combined with my porn surfing every night interferes with my limited after-work free time, makes me lethargic and more likely to stay up late and wake up groggy. I don't really have a problem getting laid or talking to women but I'm sure I would be more motivated to close the deal if I hadn't jerked it the night before. Alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, video games, porn, masturbating, sex, gambling are all designed to stimulate the pleasure centers of your brain. Even though it feels great, masturbation should be treated like any other vice, best done in moderation.
