If I don't need it, I go without it.

Kind of like pooping.

Yes.

Porn helps me to drop steam, but it drops my energy as well, so it's harder to get back to work.

@Misanthropic Imperial I've never had sex with a dude and don't really have any interest in doing so. So when I say that I never found sex all that pleasureable yes I meant with women but I doubt it would be better with men. I am circumcized which I think plays a big part. The only part of sex that I find in the least bit enjoyable is ejaculating inside a vagina bareback. But due to the risks involved in that I don't do it thus I avoid sex as my hand is nearly as good.

You don't actually look forward to it. It just needs to be taken care of when the urge hits.

I'm thinking porn for me has more cons than pros

Maybe.

Maybe it's like drinking milk.

@Lilu Using a condom during masturbation as well as a silicone masturbator can help.

Sex researchers deal with sexual dysfunctions like low stimuli on the regular.

Some people enjoy milk freely and it's pleasant addition to their diet. Others... well... rocket shits.

if you think porn is okay, its likeyh because you grew up watching too much of it thinking it's okay, and a lack of sex

The general treatment for sexual anhedonia is a slow acclimation toward less sensation while still achieving orgasm.

Some nofaps maybe are onto something when they talk about all that shit of "redirecting energy into something productive"

Ideally, to be able to achieve low stimulation orgasm without porn.

@Darkness Didn't even realize porn was a thing until I was 20.

That usually helps sexual functioning for people with sexual anhedonia or delayed orgasm.

@Cato_Malgus I tried the NoFap and was productive for like 2 months but my sex drive became insatiable. It started interfering with classes.

Delayed orgasm is a considerable problem for some - far moreso than "premature" ejaculation in many cases.

Both of you are right. @Cato_Malgus @secrite

The key is moderation. Just like everything in life.

"nofap" is not healthy. Ask any doctor, a lack of ejaculation considerably increases risk of prostate problems. Not just cancer.

@hel Yeah I think so too

Or, rather, I'd say _not ejaculating_ isn't healthy.

@Wojak Well, you get nocturnal emissions.

Those are not sufficiently frequent.

lol Porn means you're "failing yourself"?

However people can ejac too much

@Wojak I look at it like this, my buddies used to all tell me how great golf was. They all went out on the weekends and played it a bunch. They spent insane amounts of cash on clubs and fees etc... I tried it with them and it was kind of fun. However nowhere near worth what they were spending on it. So I stopped doing it. Sex is much the same to me. I tried it bunch and found it not worth the effort. Why invest a bunch more time and effort into enjoying something that can only cause problems for me. Much easier to just stop chasing pussy.

There are also studies stating that not fapping doesnt cause prostrate cancer though

If you're in a relationship with access to regular sex, not masturbating can help if you experience delayed ejaculation.

@MufflePuff Darkness doesn't like titties on camera.

You think it's easy for the body to create life

@Darkness What is the optimal amount of ejaculating per day/week?

Depends on age

But peeps, they said you can become like Gandalf and shit if you don't fap for full year

"optimal" depends on the person.

Read Tao

@secrite Dave Asprey covers there.
