Sixteen year old male here been following TRP since the beginning of the year. I made the decision to stop masturbating around the same time I found TRP and I thought I could quit cold turkey no problem, but I've found it to be the hardest challenge I have ever tried to overcome.

When I first found TRP I had a nice guy frame I held around girls, and not masturbating made it easier to have more of an alpha frame. However, it has been a couple months since then, and even when I do masturbate now I can maintain a pretty decent alpha frame.

I would rather not masturbate at all, not because I feel it's wrong or anything, but personally I value my own semen and would rather not be wasting my life liquid throwing it around everywhere for no purpose. Plus, I want to learn to be able to channel my sexual energy into different tasks other than milking it. In my opinion, my overall health improves with abstaining from masturbation.

Now the problem is, I don't keep myself busy enough to avoid touching my penis. If I don't whack it, I have huge urges to want to have sex (I'm a virgin). It gets pretty bad, the shit storm stays concealed within my mind though. I always start thinking philosophical thoughts about sex. Eventually, I'll blow my load and my mind feels clear, I feel normal, but I feel like I lose that drive to get shit done.

I also feel like girls can sense a different vibe from guys depending on whether they just masturbated or haven't for a couple months. I guess that just comes from the way you present yourself when you haven't relieved yourself for a while.

I just want to hear some different opinions about masturbation. I know NoFaps thoughts about masturbation, but I've never been able to hear what TRP men have to say about it.
