I lost self esteem and confidence after masturbating and watching porn a lot in the last 3-4 days. Also noticed I started talking in a higher pitch and became more quiet. Makes me over think and over analyze and give too much fuck about a lot of trivial matters.

In contrast... When I abstain from porn and masturbation for a few days I get more confident and people's reactions to me definitely change for the better. I talk in a deeper voice and am not as quiet. I am able to be present a lot more easily. Easier to not give a fuck about trivial stuff. Also it gets easier to focus in class, altho I never really focus that much due to fucking adhd. (Side effect though is random raging boner and extreme horniness. On the train one day I got a crazy boner and the guy sitting across me was staring at my boner unstoppably pulsating. I couldn't stop it from pulsating and it was very embarrassing and funny at the same time)

Anyway i noticed the effects of jerking off to porn were almost immediate. Conversely, abstaining from porn and jacking off also gives the said effects. Am I experiencing placebo/illusion/confirmation bias? Or does masturnation+porn really make you a beta?
