Is masturbation actually bad? Every website and source I seem to go to points to masturbation not actually leading to any sort of health problems or significant physical and physiological changes to your body, besides running out of jizz after your first few wanks, something that solves itself if you wait it out.
What people seem to point to are the potential social drawbacks that *could* happen if you obsess it over too much, like not paying attention to your loved one, missing important events and/or appointments like work, and generally withdrawing from society, though that could also relate to any habit that runs out of control, not just masturbation. Plus, I have yet to talk to any person online (really, the only place where you would find these people), who admits that they're so entranced with porn and masturbation, that they withdrew from society just so that they had more time to do it. If these people are out there, clearly there's a minuscule amount of them, something that becomes a non-issue in society.
Why is masturbation bad, Sup Forums? As a guy who has a wank every day for fun, I want the facts on this one. I want to know if I'm really doing something fucked up to my body. Here is your chance show your chops and to educate a hopeless, rabid Brazilian binobo and show him the light.
I am not sure, but I am doing nofap now. I am 21 and have never had a girlfriend before and I hope this helps with my confidence. I am 6'2", muscular, and intelligent, so it must be confidence being my issue, so I am doing this to see if it works.

confidence is just being able to handle a degree of uncertainty. read the book The Manual by W Anton

PORN is bad. Porn leads to masturbation.
Jonathan Ramirez
Why is porn bad? Please elaborate further.

Just don't do it too much. Honestly, when you have actual things going on in your life you don't think about whether or not you should masturbate.

Masturbating is not a bad thing if you do it from time to time, just try to not go overboard with it, i have 26 and i do it once or twice a week, and its fucking awesome
William Bennett
Its the one thing the jews dont mind giving out for free. Let that sink in.
Henry Sanders
it's bad because it's not good

It's psychologically bad if you do it too much, you get desensitized, your standards for women or whatever you are into get into impossible levels, if you stay like this for too long you will start to get into weirder shit by the day until you no longer recognize yourself tl;dr it's fine in moderation.
Pornography is dangerous because it TEACHES young men that they receive physical pleasure from watching OTHER men have sexual relations with women they themselves find attractive. Pornography is creating a generation of cucks.
“Lust is a poor, weak, whimpering, whispering thing compared with that richness and energy of desire which will arise when lust has been killed.”
- The Great Divorce
Women
“We use a most unfortunate idiom when we say, of a lustful man prowling the streets, that he “wants a woman.” Strictly speaking, a woman is just what he does not want.
"He wants a pleasure for which a woman happens to be the necessary piece of apparatus. How much he cares about the woman as such may be gauged by his attitude to her five minutes after fruition (one does not keep the carton after one has smoked the cigarettes).
"Now Eros makes a man really want, not a woman, but one particular woman. In some mysterious but quite indisputable fashion the lover desires the Beloved herself, not the pleasure she can give."
- The Four Loves

That's why e-lit, 2D, solo/lesbian, and straight up imagining are the patrician's way to jerk it.

Masturbation
“For me the real evil of masturbation would be that it takes an appetite which, in lawful use, leads the individual out of himself to complete (and correct) his own personality in that of another (and finally in children and even grandchildren) and turns it back; sends the man back into the prison of himself, there to keep a harem of imaginary brides.
"And this harem, once admitted, works against his ever getting out and really uniting with a real woman.
"For the harem is always accessible, always subservient, calls for no sacrifices or adjustments, and can be endowed with erotic and psychological attractions which no woman can rival.
"Among those shadowy brides he is always adored, always the perfect lover; no demand is made on his unselfishness, no mortification ever imposed on his vanity.
"In the end, they become merely the medium through which he increasingly adores himself. . . . After all, almost the main work of life is to come out of our selves, out of the little dark prison we are all born in. Masturbation is to be avoided as all things are to be avoided which retard this process. The danger is that of coming to love the prison.”

>Is masturbation actually bad? No, it but pisses off the cringey retarded moralfags so keep doing it
Matthew Hall
i only saw one study on masturbtion, a chinese study with a small sample size of chinese men. hardly conclusive. however the study did show that testosterone peaked 8 days into no fap and then started to decline. whether white people have the same cycle or not i do not know, suspicious that no studies are done, probably they're afraid people would only beat off once a week if they knew they could raise their test levels not fapping.
but it does seem long term no fap of longer then 8 days might be pointless and even counter productive at least in regards to test levels

Like anything its bad in large amounts. It seems like edging for the whole day is a thing that's becoming popular amongst men
Tyler Wood
This guy seems to be saying: "Well, a very small percentage of American men derive pleasure out of self-inserting as the woman instead of the man in porn, and these men aren't interested in seeking a normal relationship, so therefore porn is bad and causes people to develop "mental illnesses", and thus pornography has to be stopped completely, because your brain is fucked up and that's unnatural."
I think that's making a mountain out of a molehill. We're not talking about the people that are at the bottom of the slope already, we're talking about the people at the top looking down, and I don't think this research case applies to them. The idea that "masculine thinking" has suffered a "massive downfall" and not a slight decline instead is pretty laughable to me.
