No fap
| 1) Yeah? What? Of course?
2) Well it can feel good when you haven't for a while, but overall probably not. Unless you mean stop forever, in which case definitely not.
| >does it really worth it
no
| trust me its worth it. I have a gf now, I work out, my depression is gone, I suddenly became rich, and I now have the power to stop time.
| I did it once, I think I managed over 2 months at one time. I don't have a gf and I'm not really interested in sleeping around so I realized it doesn't really make sense. You can't completely deny your sexual emotions and they will surface one way or another. Just fap less and observe your emotions, when you meet someone you want to devote to, express your sexual feelings to them instead of fapping. Then it won't be about self-denial and makes much more sense.
| >>198254 I wrote a longer response but it got errored out and I don't wanna re-write it. Here's the gist:
Masturbating: Feels good, free, health benefits.
Not Masturbating forever: Not those things.
| >>198269
Yeah, same here. Sorry to break it to you, but I preggo'd your girlfriend in my last time stop.
| We wouldn't have evolved to masturbate if it was truly harmful.
| >>198435
imo masturbation isn't harmful, it's just that in todays world it goes hand in hand with porn... Commercial porn is designed to abuse the weak spots of male sexuality by being as stimulating as possible, it doesn't exist to give you real lasting fulfillment or pleasure. It's a waste of energy.
| >>198469 Doesn't porn just assist masturbating? This sounds like saying a sex toy is harmful because it helps you masturbate. "Abuse the weak spots of male sexuality," really just means it's good at what it was made for.
| >>198488
That's because you're only looking on the side against it, if you do an internet search you can find many people in the medical industry talking about the benefits of masturbating.
| There is almost no benefits of fap tho'
| >>198488 >>198504 lower rates of testicular and prostate cancer, lower blood pressure, gives you a better night's sleep
| I once quit for a month and a half
When I fapped again for the first time I expected it to be fucking amazing but it was really average
However I do abstain now to try to game my testosterone levels when I know I'll need some more. Just keep in mind that you only raise your testosterone for the first seven days, after that it crashes sharply.
| The whole stop mastrubating is just a meme.the thought is hotter than the result

Porn (I'm mostly talking about the commercial stuff) isn't there to help men masturbate, it's there to exploit the fact that male brains react very strongly to visual stimuli (this is a major difference between male and female sexuality, have you wondered why porn is never targeted at women?). It is extremely addicting and then a bunch of old farts who own the business can easily milk ad revenue out of helpless horny man-babies who don't know any better...
| >>198649 the worst harms would stem from habituation. like doing it so much you neglect to do other things to maintain health
| >>198851
Camwhores exploit the same weakness in men (easily manipulated sexually with visual stimuli), they are not there to "help you", they want your money and attention.
| >>198864
You're trying to put "porn is a good business," inn words that are so much worse than they are. If someone really wants to give some "old farts" ad revenue for porn why should the be stopped? If camwhore want your money and attention and you're wiling to give it to them, why stop them? All I'm hearing is that no harm is done besides making old farts richer and camwhores money.

If that's the kind of "sexual fulfillment" you aim for, that's your choice. I'm not saying that it should be stopped. I'm saying it's pathethic hedonistic bullshit that gives you a little rush of pleasure, while leading to absolutely nothing in the long run. No depth, no connection, no purpose, no emotion, nothing. Just a brief rush of dopamine in your brains to distract you from anything meaningful.
| >>198959
Is your entire reasoning "Masturbation isn't a relationship"? A lot of short-term dopamine producing activities also happen to not be a relationship.
| Just do what you want. When question about this shit is asked the answers are always different.
Some people you'll go bald because of masturbating, but baldness are usually caused by high testosterone, which got depleted when you ejaculate.
A lot of people said that fapping would make you tired and addicted. I personally never feel that exhausted (maybe because I regularly exercise) and I find it doable to not fap some time.
| (. Y .)
| Only worth it if you have a sexual relationship going on. You gotta fap to keep the prostate healthy. :p
