Some of the after-effects of masturbation are :

1. The nervous system is affected the most.
2. Besides the heart, the digestive system, the urinary system as well as the other systems are adversely affected and consequently the whole body becomes the museum of diseases with profound weakness.
3. The eyes become sunken, the cheek bones protrude and there is a black rim round the eyes.
4. Continuous headache and backache.
5. Dizziness and loss of memory.
6. Palpitation of heart on lightest exertion.
7. Nervousness.
8. Unable to perform any heavy physical or mental work.
9. The person dislikes any company and activities and rather likes to sit in seclusion and suffers from weakness.
10. All the senses are impaired.
11. Vision becomes dim, the tongue begins to stammer and ears tend to become deaf etc.
12. Lastly T. B. or insanity or some other serious disease catch hold of the victim to lead his life to a close.
13. Impotency.

I’d appreciate if anyone agrees with the article.

I’ve been wondering about something…

After I start the Reboot ( already did countless times, even though I sometimes manage to hold for days without masturbation ), I find myself waking up in the morning and starting to ( without noticing it myself ) ”hump” the bed I just slept on, dropping some drops of sperm in the process. So, no matter how much or how little the amount of sperm is released, does it count as a relapse?

Does a single drop of sperm count as relapse ( in the context of what I said above ) or doesn’t it ? Because I don’t want to release whatever bit of testosterone I can gather humping the bed x)

Hope you understand my question. English is not my native language so I have certain difficulties expressing myself.

Good luck to all.

Going to relieve myself for the last time today and start rebooting. I’ll leave reports of how it went for those who want some more feedback ( even though the feedback in this forum is enough ).

Cheers!

30 y/o male here…I have been struggling with wanking since I was introduced to it from the tender age of 8 by a friend. I look back, I spent most of my high school years awkward and shy, even though I was good looking and one of the best athletes around. I went bald very early… although I am genetically predisposed but noone went bald that early in either side. I did manage to get laid a few times here and there after high school, but nothing was satisfactory and i couldn’t cum from sex and would lose erections frequently. I always have been into “esoteric” knowledge, and I came across something that said men should not waste their semen (jing) and it all made sense to me. I quit for a while, met a nice hot girl and we had great sex…. during this time i was magnetic, i evolved from a guy chicks liked as a friend to a stud… much to the dismay of my ex because i did cheat from time to time. I was just reveling in my new found sexual energy that i never allowed to build up.

Unfortunately, I ended up going back to my old ways, and in sync with that, our sex life decreased and eventually we broke up after 4 years. I was crushed… And instead of giving up this habit I just went head on into porn consumption, and with high speed internet, along with a bad coke habit… spiraled out of control with this. My sexual tastes started getting much more specific and “kinky”. Eventually, I got to the point where I get barely an erection even while masterbating… sex was totally out of the question unless i had some viagra or something… then i was a stud but it still didn’t feel right.

Well, 4 years later, here I am depressed, anti social, nothing going for me and living in moms basement. I have decided once in for all to kick this habit, I know it locks me in a negative state. Anytime I’ve ever given up this habit, good things start happening. It’s not a magic cure but I really feel that you give off a different vibe when your “Full” of your manly energies. I have gone the last 5 days without and immediately i can notice my interactions with girls, and guy to be much better. I a mmuch more relaxed, my voice is deeper, the girls seem to go out of their way to talk/flirt with me. I know they found me attractive before… I dress good, look great for my age despite being bald. I just feel a certain magic/sexual power… like i can seduce any woman and it’s great. I think most people that are saying this is bullshit are just so deluded… denial is very powerful.. few people have the power to look deep within their soul and question themselves. Ego is the destroyer of so many people… lose your ego. One of my best friend has potential to be a great musician, but he also is lacking in some areas and anytime i’ve tried to bring this up to him… he goes into denial or kinda does the in one ear, out the other thing. He will most likely not succeed on his own unless he has a major eye opening.

My personal belief is “they”, the powers that be, want a population of docile schmucks and I think that is why masturbation is encouraged so much. Your weird if you DON’T do it… I feel so much more able to take action ALREADY and it’s only been 5 days into my “rebooting” process. I recommend people check out the website- yourbrainonporn.com It is quite enlightening, and explains how this is truly a bad thing to indulge yourself in on a regular basis without religious dogma or eastern mysticism for you scientific/logical types.
Now, I don’t think there is anything wrong with the occasional tug job, IF you’re not getting laid. If you have sexual prospects you shouldn’t even consider it. It’s not a necessity, you aren’t going to get prostate cancer, that’s a bunch of bs. Wet dreams are natures way of “cleaning the pipes” if you’re not getting sex.

It’s crazy how we went from being a totally repressed puritanical society, to a completely depraved wanton society who’s motto is, “if it feels good, do it” Where is the balance??? I think in 10 20 years it’ll become mainstream knowledge that excessive wanking, especially to porn is detrimental to ones well being. Sure, porn has been around for a long time… but never until the last 10-15 years have we been exposed to so much porn. You don’t have to go to the seedy “book store” to get your fix, and even then you’re only able to get so much and it costs a lot…. now you don’t have to pay for it (if you know what your doing) and can be up to your eyeballs in it immediately. That is not natural.

Think about highly successful people that you admire or want to be like. Do you think 2pac sat around beating his meat for hours a day? George Clooney? Leo Messi? No, they most likely channeled that sexual energy into their respective crafts to further themselves along.
