STOP masturbating

I consider enjoying my own company to be a very good use of my time, myself.

I find it funny that two of the top stories on the front page are

STOP masturbating
Masturbating

That is all

I have no problem, I do very little, and hardly enjoy it.

 

:lol:

 

Well, this is certainly a mixed message.


Somewhere between wanking your life away and denying yourself a healthy sex life, is something called "the happy medium".

No, we've just had a few more years to perfect the art of juggling- a partner, a home, a career and a personal life. Occasionally, it may be one-handed juggling, but it's all about priorities and time management.

And the happy medium.

 

Masturbation just loses its thrill when you do it all the time. During periods where I do it at least once a day, it's just a habit that isn't fun at all. During periods where I do it every few days to a week, it just feels so much better!

 

>>>Well you're older! I'm betting that you're already pretty well established and aren't anxiously trying to establish a better career/network/friend circle/sex life like us younger guys.

Well, yeah, I am. But I think I was in that position even back in my teens and twenties. Yeah, I found out the hard way about "pushing my limits", and quickly learned that "forcing the orgasm" - pushing myself to have one even when my body wasn't all that interested - was a waste of time. But I don't think there was ever a time when masturbation was interfering with the other aspects of my life. Like many young folks, I jerked off just before going to sleep, or perhaps right after waking up. And I don't think that's a time most people spend advancing their career or their social lives. If you really think your masturbatory habits are interfering with those aspects of your life, then yeah, cut down somewhat.

Okay, so like, I like masturbating. You know, like, a lot. I've been enjoying it quite a bit since my boyfriend pretty much lost his sex drive. (Not completely, but not the point of my post.) What I'm getting at is I wanna play too. Sure I won't be doing it for religious reasons. Mostly just to see what I can do. I'll let you know when I crack. Anyone else want a go at this?

But if my boyfriend wants sex, I'm not using this as a reason to hold out.

 

As far as I know, and have experienced, how much you or how often you jack off really doesn't affect the rest of your life one bit. Not only that, but conserving your bodily fluids will also mean that you shouldn't have sex in order to "play above yourself".

The problem that I have with most articles, like the one linked above, is the fact that they closely connect jacking off and watching porn, which is pretty ridiculous.

Would we have the same problem without porn? Can you "safely" jack off as long as you don't use porn? If you jack off using fantasy, which ones are okay and which ones cross the line? Why is jacking off harmful, yet sex is completely okay?

 

Comment 2 contradicts comment 1, sex will lose that "drive" your talking about whether there is a difference between sex and jerking off or not.

Holding off from masturbation can give you that little bit of extra energy or "drive" as you put it, but only to a point. In the end your going to drive yourself crazy because you haven't gotten off for awhile, you wont be able to concentrate and may have trouble sleeping, which defeats the point of stopping.

Granted taking a break every now and then is a good thing, stopping all together imo isn't such a good idea as it can have some bad effects on both the body and the mind.

Are you going to feel guilty and ashamed if you don't manage to stop or you slip up? I suggest you really look at why you want to stop and the feelings you have about masturbation and maybe look for other ways in your life that you can achieve the same "drive", like regular exercise or eating better high energy foods.

anyways that's all just my opinion, go ahead and do what you feel is best I just think there are better ways to go about achieving your life goals other then not jerking off.

 

I intend to do it much less because for some reason it seems to make me really nervous and shy, if it didn't have this effect i would no way stop.:dry:

 

Huh? How does it make you nervous and shy?



The only reason why I stop masturbating for any extended period of time is (1) if Im around someone elses house or (2) if I want to save my self up so I can feel like a badass when, a few days later when I do masturbate, my semen explodes out of my penis in increased quantity and at a very fast rate.

 

Hmmm yummy LOL (kidding).

I love masturbating, and only stop when I am too busy or I don't have time or too tired. But when I am free and horny, I may masturbate more than once in a day... LOL.

 

We sure talk about masturbation a lot....
