Masturbation addiction is a serious libido killer. It leaves me unmotivated to approach.

Quitting porn was a godsend for me, but now my thirst levels are off the charts. My envy is as well.

yuckyuck13 · 2021-08-12T20:41:58+00:00

I've been going on walks when I get the urge, lost weight. Two birds one stone.

Sometimes I’ll be going at it and remember right then and there that jerking can be a libido/testosterone killer as well as contribute to a dopamine addiction.

Sometimes I’ll then think “well I’ve already started, might as well finish, right?”

And then I’ll remind myself that I’ve never regretted stopping the jerking right then and there to do something else, whether productive or not. Never. It’s always been either a neutral or positive change. And usually positive because I’m proud of myself for making the difficult decision.

Yeah for me it’s like those snickers commercials watching porn is like not having a snickers your not yourself when your horny not saying avoid women that turn you on or take cold showers that bullshit dosn’t work but definitely quit weed alcohol and porn all at once for the best effect the porn googles cloud your vison and make it harder not impossible for you to accomplish your goals like to many of y’all throwing the baby out with the bath water after one relapse like bro the real secret to accomplishing success in anything is persistence and tenacity fuck confidence I’ve seen supposedly confident men quit like a bitch and that’s a pretty big turn off for women to me bigger than no confidence from my experience

Sounds like you need to get some hobbies, preferably outdoor hobbies that get you so tired you don't have energy to slap the monkey after.

juju_brad · 2021-08-12T17:24:38+00:00

Agreed.

spiritualRyan · 2021-08-12T17:29:48+00:00

too true

iTeaQy · 2021-08-12T23:26:05+00:00

Can relate 100% struggling quitting porn but I’ll never ever stop trying fuck that shit

tristian_lay · 2021-08-12T20:00:04+00:00

And weed too

RegretsNothing1 · 2021-08-12T22:13:28+00:00

It's so funny to see people still believe this shit when science already proved that masterbation does NOT low testosterone.

What you're describing is post but clarity.

TheWhiteWalkerSpeaks · 2021-08-12T18:19:01+00:00

I haven't tested this yet but have heard from others who do this. So basically you watch porn get horny but don't masturbate. And with that feeling of horniness go out and watch out for girls you find attractive. You will have higher motivation and need to approach. Someone confirm if this works

Birch_T · 2021-08-12T21:44:08+00:00

Being a libido killer could be a good thing, no? Approaching, swiping, texting, etc. can be a serious waste of time, energy, and money, that can be better used toward your work, hobbies, education, etc.

Unlikely-happy-99 · 2021-08-12T19:39:37+00:00

no thats just feeling guilty while doing it otherwise i need evidnce

mangkok4 · 2021-08-12T18:51:05+00:00

Try edging dude. Can’t finish tho. Might help

rapunzel158 · 2021-08-12T21:55:43+00:00

does it actually make a difference if you fap to porn or imagination?

Ok-Feature-4225 · 2021-08-12T22:03:27+00:00

Also gaming and many other easy dopamine rewards work the same way

GroundbreakingBus138 · 2021-08-12T23:10:44+00:00

People and their horseshit attitudes are the reason for that.so we isolate jerk off but its hardly fulfilling,pardon the pun.

LowkeyJC · 2021-08-12T23:39:34+00:00

Thats a whole lot of post nut clarity

ComfortableGas7741 · 2021-08-12T17:53:50+00:00

Your testosterone does not increase because you stopped jacking off. It’s all in your head

baddog992 · 2021-08-12T19:38:28+00:00

Its just the opposite for me. My imagination fuels my desire to want to get out and go out on dates. I watch porn but most porn is dull and boring like watching a car piston goIng up and down. I like porn with a story or unscripted porn. Most porn is over produced. Good porn can give you tips on where to lick and how to lick and kiss. Its not about just getting your tongue down her throat as quick as you can. Sadly good porn is rare and bad porn is the norm. I say do what works for you. If it helps you not to pleasure yourself then hold off.

Mark Mansons mentions this in models

Tbh... sounds like you're on the edge of deficiency. I'm no Dr. but I'd put a few bucks on zinc.

Remember, correlation isn't causation.

I've often popped off round #1 before going trolling and it's way less of a detriment and helps help my big head in charge.

Thanks for sharing!

psilyhuilly · 2021-08-12T22:29:38+00:00

Good to see people are starting to realize. A year ago this would have gotten downvoted

mebunghole · 2021-08-13T01:38:40+00:00

one thing leads to another and I end up fapping (not to porn but imagination)

This is how you do it. If you wanna spank off then spank off. Take porn out of the equation.

You're right, even with masturbation there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.

DryAdhesiveness6579 · 2021-08-12T17:32:13+00:00

yea... it’s unhealthy to masturbate too much, but it’s also very unhealthy to not masturbate.

I’ll do it like once a day and no problem talking to women. Sounds like an excuse to me bro.

TeriyakiFury · 2021-08-12T19:23:32+00:00

This is retarded. Just fap and stop being a pussy it's really that simple. If you don't fap it makes you too horny and you'll do crazy things to get laid

BatmanMan1990 · 2021-08-12T20:48:11+00:00

is this true, u/throwawayrenopl?

Pringles__ · 2021-08-12T23:18:40+00:00

Do you know what is a serious libido killer? Feeling guilty.

DrixlRey · 2021-08-12T22:56:17+00:00

I have to ask everyone here, is once/twice right before bed everyday too much?? Or is it more "normal" or less of a libido killer to do it once every few days/weeks?

MauPow · 2021-08-12T23:19:33+00:00

I never see any women I want to approach, so I just keep crankin' it.

waverunnr · 2021-08-12T22:48:28+00:00

Chris on Family Guy was on to something when he talked about being the edging champion. Masturbation isn't the libido killer. It's the orgasm. There's a lot of benefits to edging, the main one being learning control. My favorite benefit is that if I edge for a week straight, the next time I have an orgasm with a woman, I can immediately go again with virtually no refractory time.

Good-Phrase · 2021-08-13T01:44:05+00:00

Hadn’t fapped for three weeks I had a lot more energy, less hesitations, less rumination, felt more free overall, more confidence. Then one morning three weeks after not fapping I was super hungover and incredibly horny truly felt possessed by how horny I was. I fapped again and this week I’ve felt tired, less confident, more antisocial. Idk if it’s just placebo effect or not but even if it is it’s still worth it. About to be a monk and never bust again goddamn the difference is slightly subtle but also life-changing.

babesparkle · 2021-08-13T03:23:58+00:00

try edging

2021-08-13T04:50:26+00:00

Ok, but why are you lying about porn?

rhymasta · 2021-08-13T05:58:13+00:00

it doesnt on me

recyclablebanthas · 2021-08-13T06:15:25+00:00

Ok so I tend to get bored a lot because I have a lot of free time, so one thing leads to another and I end up fapping......

What kind of social life have you made for yourself?

Like besides cold approaching, what are you doing when you go outside?
Why is so much of your free time spent inside? Are you under lockdown?
