The real question is why this topic is even so necessary. Loneliness, disconnection, and the downfall of healthy and attainable relationships is the scourge of our wellness.

i swear i clicked just to check the comments, I JUST WANT TO SEE THE COMMENTS

1 - a lot of this is true
2 - it’ll never work.
I was a former addict. I started off with one month and ended up abstinent for about 8 months. It did absolutely nothing except make my addiction worse for a time. The issue isn’t with masturbation and porn is predatory but not fully to blame. Most people consume porn to fill a void. None of you want to admit it but there’s a reason why you look at certain types of women or subscribe to one specific E girl. It’s the longing for intimacy and desire for affection and that’ll never go away until you improve your own sense of self respect. Even then you’ll still get urges but the shame and reliance on it will subside and it’ll just be another activity how it should be

My FBI agent is probably tying something right now

Anyone else just do it out of boredom?

"Masturbate or don't masturbate?" is the wrong question. Sex isn't the problem, the way we perceive and deal with it is, combined with a lack of self-worth and missing something in one's life.

[Levouni]

I swear it's always a sexual theme whenever I get notifications from y'all 😭

[davdjimenez]

Masturbating is a natural thing, just learn to not be controlled by it so much, abstinence can also help your brain not to overly sexualize everything, and focus on the more important things that matter. Sex is also not a bad thing, everything in moderation is ok 👍

[roshe]

"Sex a lot more fulfilling" chronic fappers turn to fapping because of lack of sex in the first place, so that doesn't really matter to them lol

Woah…why did I click this as soon as I can?

[SkullyX]

Biology. It would just happen in your sleep. Just a natural part of being human. The question is more about self control. Goes for both genders.

[BillysFingers]

I don't watch porn and don't use dating apps... if i stop masturbating, i'd have literally no sexual release which isn't natural for humans, especially for me.

"Guess we'll never know"

[Bjefferson]

This was not on my algorithm bingo card

[Melissa.Kit-Cat]

Masturbation is perfectly healthy and normal. It's a release just like exercise. If you're addicted to porn that's something else entirely

[Kwansmusic]

Misleading: masturbation is not the problem. Its an internal problem. Abstaining doesn't solve ur addiction problem.

[M.J]

I really don't buy that abstinence is some catch-all life improver. If your health improves notably from stopping, you likely had a problem to begin with.

Uploading at 11pm is definitely best for this video lmao

I struggled for years with porn addiction and masturbation, then suddenly a girl showed up in my life and just stopped seeking the dopamine shot.
A lot of addictions are based on loneliness.
Do seek out friends and loved ones. You are not a nuisance.

[sebastianmartinez]

"you might even find sex more appealing" kind of hard to improve something that doesn't exist.
