list all the reasons to avoid fapping itself, not included the obvious porn reason..

Loss of drive
Loss of sensitivity
Loss of performance

 

Masturbation is not man made and is very common in nature, large verity of mammals engage in masturbation and frequent sexual activities for the purpose of pleasure.
For many species of monkeys sex is basically part of social interaction, they do it allot, they do it often and with variety of partners, so in actuality human sexual behaviors are pretty reserved.
Humans are as far from inventing masturbation as earth is from the sun.

Your view is not objective, and highly affected by social beliefs that have no merit.

To be objective, why don't you also list positive effects of masturbation, like
stabilization of mood,
calming effects,
stimulation of growth hormones,
reduction of stress
etc

Its a trap to paint your sexuality as evil.

 

So you want to stop masturbation but you don't know why?

 

I see your point. But the issue is within the questions itself, avoiding masturbation is like avoiding showers, its a matter of balance.
Do you want to save 5-15minutes in the morning by not taking a shower versus being clean but spending the time?
To me its clear that not taking showers is not a reasonable option, so question itself makes no sense - "Post reasons not to shower?" I know humans need to stay clean, or there will be host of health and social issues, so I am thinking - that is unrealistic and I hope you understand how this projects on to sexual health.

Real question should be - what is most efficient use of masturbation, where you get most benefit vs cost.
Or if you want it from another direction "When not to masturbate?"

Abstinence makes you more sensitive to sexual pleasure, so if you have sexual partner you will enjoy sex with your partner allot more if you stop masturbation.
If you do not have sexual partner then making periods between masturbation longer will make them more pleasurable. But again its same as showers, you dont need a shower every day unless you are covered in sweat but not showering at all is bad idea.

 

If we assume that everyone who masturbates is lone isolated individual then yes, but most of the population is not, people have sex all the time, so they naturally use masturbation when their partner is not available.
Which is exactly how it should be used.

I think better way to direct it would be - to not use masturbation get high and stay high. Which is what people that abuse it tend to do. Normal masturbation is pretty quick and person moves on after orgasm.
Abusers tend to extend the experience longer and longer and pornography helps with that. This prolonged release of dopamine and resulting high is what causes majority of negative effects.

 

Wasted time that you can never get back
Wasted energy that can be used towards other positive things

 

I thought I was very addicted to M, because I was stop doing some activities to do it, and I knew that's one of the signals of addiction.
Although later reading and seeing so many stories here, I noticed I was a very simple case. But I want to keep doing it and left it once and for all. I basically don't want to have addictions, and to left PM behind is a great thing to me, a good start for a change to a better way of living

 

The number one reason why I am trying to quit fapping is for motivation and drive.
I have two personalities. The sad unmotivated couch potato, and the happy millionaire.
Fapping brings out the couch potato. I don't really like him.
