So is it worth it? Without all the reddit memes is it a good or bad idea to quit masturbation?

So is it worth it? Without all the reddit memes is it a good or bad idea to quit masturbation?

Bad idea

Just quit porn instead.
If you can't get off without porn, then you're fucked.

Elaborate

I could probably jerk off 10 times a day without porn, porn just makes it better

Nofap is a fucking meme.
Use your imagination instead of porn.

I was told your testosterone gets messed up by jerking off, true or no?

look it up for yourself rather than trying to verify information you got from Sup Forums by asking more people from Sup Forums

If you do it excessively yes. But the benefits of not watching porn are more than testosterone.

What is excessive? Once a day?

god men are PATHETIC

I was strictly religious during my teenage years so I didn't fap until I was an adult. This killed my sexual health and I'm unable to find a gf because I have grown up without a normal sexual development, so I fear women's sexuality. But hey, good luck with your "motivation" and your "test levels" OP.

It does, if you're an addict. Jerking off once a day isn't addiction. And between 15-19, it's common to jerk off more than once.

Totally true
More testosterone, more energy, more strength and somehow women get more attracted to you.

Lol

Are you memeing or is this true? I am beginning to worry

Google about it. If you really want answers, read scientific papers/ studies.
It's only a problem if your masturbation and porn is affecting your other daily works. Are you antisocial? That might be one sign of addiction
If it's not, don't worry about it. Testosterone level increases, yes. But it's comes back to normal level after few days.
Everything else is placebo effect. Suddenly stopping masturbation doesn't make you a fucking chad. You have to be more social and outgoing.

>Testosterone level increases, yes. But it's comes back to normal level after few days.
Ok but are there any negative effects of not abstaining?

Not that I know of. But then again, if you stop masturbating suddenly, you're probably gonna relapse. Become more frustrated and the addiction increases.
If you really want to go NoFap, decrease your fapping sessions gradually instead of going all in.

>porn just makes it better
Must be weird to have the imagination of a goldfish.

I don't masturbate that often, once a day, maybe twice if i have a day off work or something. So i'm fine like this?

There aren't any proven negative effects as long as you aren't addicted to it, then it's as bad as any other addiction

Once a day is fine and hell, it even is recommended if you're young.
Decrease watching porn tho. Maybe once a week? Use your imagination. Jerk off to those images of your hot colleague. Read stories etc.
Also, practice lasting longer.

>Jerk off to those images of your hot colleague.

Masturbation is a normal thing healthy human being does.
Porn is not. Definitely not in the amount you consume everyday.

I'm in a similiar boat as you. I just wasn't interested in Sex or women or anything then, Not did I even really know what Sex was about until later. The First time I masturbated was a few months before my 19th Birthday. This probably didn't directly affect me neither women in the Case of Always being gfless, but I'm sure it has Had an effect on both of us Bro :(

PS I have been trying to become more religious These past couple of months and that is one of the reasons why I am trying to Take it easy now with the fapping because too much messes with your and Takes me farther away from God

Few months before 19th birthday?
Damn, I was in 9th grade and I thought i was very late. Everyone I knew (online and irl) started in 7th grade.
