Fixed.
When you were "addicted", how many times per day did you masterbate and how much porn did you watch? I haven't noticed any serious harmful effects from porn or masterbation, and I masterbate fairly frequently. The only harmful effects of masterbation that I've experienced are sore forearms. Honesty though, I can't really remember the last time I wasn't masterbating every 1-3 days, so I don't have a clear period to make a comparison.
I'll try to quit masterbating anyway, and not only for any physical or psychological benefits. While I do welcome some potention positive effects, I'm moreso interested in seeing how strong my will is. Almost every time I masterbate, it's because I wake up in the middle of the night with an erection. The erection usually leads to sexual thoughts which never go away. Eventually, my mind is overwhelmed by those sexual thoughts and I usually masterbate and go to sleep. I've always hated the fact that my body has been controlling my actions and I've been considering stopping masterbating for a while now. I guess this would now be a good time to start.
I'll be starting a challenge for myself to see how long I can go without giving in to my desires.
Days without masterbation: 0 days
