It's kind of a taboo subject but from my research and experience cutting back on masturbation and porn (quitting porn if possible) is one of the quickest ways to make yourself and more assertive person who is willing to question bullshit.
What does cutting back mean? Well it's different for each person. If you masturbate 5x/day try cutting back to 1, if it's 3x/week try cutting to 1x/week. Cut out as much porn as you can, no porn is the best thing you can do.
I would encourage you to do research on why this works but some basic premise is that when you masturbate with porn you are rewarding your brain with dopamine even though you haven't accomplished anything. Because you are rewarding it the brain assumes whatever you are doing is causing you to win so it cuts back on methods to motivate you or encourage you to "stir the pot" so to speak.
It is weird that the mainstream pushes frequent masturbation to porn so much, it makes you question if they are doing it on purpose to keep people complacent and docile.
All I can say is try it for yourself. The results usually speak for themselves.
Weird conspiracy post, but I can play ball.
Okay. Chew on this. I've been married to the same woman for close to three decades. How many times have I cheated on her? 0. I rather pull off one and lose them urges.
So that dopamine rush have probably saved my marriage a few dusin times.
Exactly...I can't disagree porn is unnaturally addictive, but as for the alternatives being to use your wife like your old sock (get off, basically, cause you sure aren't making "love" with that frequency), or go full on monk and turn your desire into kundalini energy or some shit...people have some pretty weird notions.
