Personally every time I have stopped masturbating this had led to an important decrease in the amount of women I hook up with, and so at one point around 2 or more weeks into my abstention, i give in and then suddenly i'm back to normal hooking up with 1 or more girls per week. I have been told (during times when I did not masturbate) that I looked very thirsty and needy. Something which I am never told whenever I am in a period of masturbating. Is it possible that masturbation helps me control my sexual desire and therefore avoid being "needy" or "creepy"?
