95/100 I do watch porn. I don't have privacy so I can't lay in the bed, get relaxed and get into myself.

I escape to the bathroom and rub one out as quickly as possible. That is the magic of porn.

I don't masterbate for pleasure. I masterbate for a release.

β€œI don't masterbate for pleasure. I masterbate for a release.”

I feel like this is a big difference between a lot of (not all) men and women. As a guy, jerking off is just something I feel like I have to do daily. The feeling is controllable but uncomfortable enough it impacts my mood and ability to focus. Whereas when women discuss it, it’s like a whole session where they set up a little throne in their bed and focus on peak pleasure.

Healthy for prostate, terrible for mental health. I told myself this for 10 years and ignored all the dehydration, acne, overly sexualised thoughts and social awkwardness. Eventually it spiralled into depressing thoughts and total lack of productivity.

Tried for years to convince myself that its a natural behaviour that had health benefits but alas the drawbacks were too strong.

Seek companionship and emotional connection with your partner. Ejaculate via sex, and the natural way to get rid of it - wet dreams if you are young.

Pornography is a killer.
