we seem to get these threads a lot recently in the past year, i think nofap has increased in popularity probably
i think moderation in all things is good.
not watching porn ime, is a positive thing
not masturbating every day unconsciously is a good thing
you kind of have to see what your body needs and then work it out from there, if you feel like you are repressing your sexual energy, or you are feeling agitated, or you have no way of keeping your mind off constantly fantasising and thinking about fucking every piece of ass you see, then its time to jack off.
it might be worth experimenting with masturbating (without porn) once a week, or once a fortnight. and being fully conscious and present in the moment of doing it (not fantasising about a girl when you are doing it), just staying with the sensations.
see what works for you. i think there is a potential for having greater energy and motivation to connect with the opposite sex if you are not daily depleting yourself of your seed.
i feel like all extremes are best to stay away from. i did 55 days nofap and no sex (not by my own volition lol), it was an amazing experience. i found that after 2 weeks though its a lot easier to not think about sex a lot. but that was just something i felt i had to do at the time.

From personal experience, there are huge benefits to not masturbating. Especially from the relationship aspect.
I mean for me, I can certainly tell a difference in energy, motivation, sex drive.. etc. From when I do and I don't.
Once I climax I literally feel like I just shot out all my energy.. especially when done multiple times a day.
And from the relationship POV, ive noticed a major difference in how 'loving' I act with my partner. My sex drive is increased..
Its just a good thing to take a break for awhile so you can see what youre missing.
It is a really tough habit to break though. Its hard to change something you've done for the majority of your life.
All in all, I just feel more like a man with a sack full of little swimmers. Let the testosterone build!
Not to mention, I don't go through nearly as many socks as I used to lol.

I have masturbated only about 5 times in the past 3/4 months to see what happens..i approach girls more often and have alot more confidence..or so it seems..like i just met this pretty attractive girl while in line at 711 and she was buying a blunt and i approached her about wanting to go smoke and we hit it off..i woulda never tried this if i was beating my dick everyday like i used to..
not watching porn and not mastubating has solved my slight problem staying hard with girls..wooohoo!! Porn is the main issue i think,masturbation is healthy as long as its not done all the time.my dick seems bigger too but thats prolly cause its rock hard ready to go if a girl touches me anywhere on my body %)

ive been struggling with this too....
but for awhile I was not masturbating at all for like 2 - 3 months... I would have tons of wet dreams but it was worth it ( and those dreams can be fun anyways) I felt an increase in confidence, energy, pursuit of women, ; I was pumped up, i wanted someone to fuck with me so i could kick their ass (in a good way , sorta feeling though)
porn is really bad for your mind/brain and fucks up your sex life, feelings towards women, etc etc. . It is awesome though, at first, feels like you discovered the teasure trove, but its not true.

Definitely cut out the porn. From personal observation, having grown up with porn, it definitely alters your responses.. like it takes you away from the feeling and presence of the sexual experience in a way that masturbating without porn doesn't.
The absolute maximum you should aim for is no more than once a week, without porn and focusing on the feeling as opposed to visualizing intently (though images, memories etc will still pop up in your mind).
I went 6 weeks earlier this year totally celibate. The boost to energy was obvious, especially in the gym lifting weights.. I felt like I was able to focus better to push more reps, whereas before my mind would cave first and I would stop at that rep. I ended up blowing my load with a gal because I couldn't take it anymore. That was one hell of an orgasm let me tell you.
The urge for release will always be there until the day you die. The trick is not let it enslave you, to put it to best use.
For me the issue is that without a partner I can go weeks without releasing.. but the world just starts to really piss me off after that time. Like I see all the faults everywhere and just want to smash shit up and shake people up, like "is this the best we can do!?". If all the young men conserved their energy we could have revolution tomorrow haha!
