quite often on this forum isee people highlighting the downsides of masturbation (loss of focus, stress, low self-confidence), but is this really true?

 

[Trevor]

Yes

 

[hurricane]

It is

 

[avzrael]

[gemini]

Yes

i think i agree. but id still like a more detailed answer lol. many sources (sex-educational literature, websites, ai) look at masturbation from a positive perspective, which sometimes surprises me

i dont think masturbating is bad, just porn it ruins your social skills and you're gonna be really awkward around women watching porn can easily become an addiction too

 

[yourfavLTB]

Just dont do it to mich

 

[subpar genes]

If masturbation becomes a hobby rather than a relief, then it's bad. And if you're not used to masturbating, you won't need pornography when nature calls you. Pornography is for people who can't get off using imagination only.

no the issue is your supporting a multi billion dollar industry which knowingly traffics 14 year old children

It depends on whether or not you do it enough to waist time for things you actually need to do

masturbation in of itself isnt bad its a way to release that frustration. the bad thing is watching porn or anything sexual

It's hard to not watch it

 

[foidslayer]

It's hard to not watch it

it is, but you have to be strong + the porn industry trafficks teenage girls

Didn't know it

 

[StillGrowingTaller]

No it’s not. The actual biological part is healthy and good for your t levels but staying inside all day is bad, mental addiction to onlyfans garbage and nasty porn is the bad part. its healthy to be getting action from real women but not some weird of chick. Eventually if you look at too much porn especially in your youth, you won’t be able to do anything with a real girl and it won’t work when you try to do it in real life because your brain is so warped from porn

 

[Rylee.cc]

i feel like it gets called bad because certain people become addicted to it and their life revolves around it, also they watch slop which effects dopamine and shit so

[Tealovingfool]

Not as bad as drugs there are far worse addictions also stimulant addicts are far more likely to watch more porn than a non stimulant addict

 

[genuineltb]

According to studies nutting 1-2 times a day us good for testosterone and hormones and whatnot. Any more or any less can lead to issues but honestly idk im a girl but thats just the only thing ik for a fact
For girls its good for stress relief every once ina while but it could damage ur body so b careful ladies

Either way if u do anything tm it could cause a lot of problems and lead u to spiral

Porn reduces your iq by 30 points while you’re watching it, makes you itnernalize extremely misogynistic viewpoints(and a lot more bigoted viewpoints depending on the kind of categories you watch) and basically wrecks you social skills. Worse of all you’ll walk away with an illegal fetish of some sorts.

It’s hard to quit, but you’ll be way better off

Masturbation doesnt really have any net upsides or downsides but if you use pornography you will 100% desensitize urself and be dogshit in bed
