in my opinion porn leads to making the consumer have really unrealistic expectations of his current / future partner since most viewed videos are of certain criterias that requires actors with very specific characteristics and this leads to the unrealistic expectations or unsatisfaction with the partner or any partner in fact, and can harm relationships as I’ve seen some have issues with their partner over this

Porn is likely the bigger issue than normal masturbation.
Depends on your mindset though. If you abstain from masturbation because you view it negatively maybe even related to your sexuality it is just as damaging cause you supress these energies inside you. Abstain cause you want to not because sexual related stuff is “bad”.

Porn destroys you, creates etheric cords,attracts entities, screws your life force, makes you depressed and feel useless, lowers testosterone or fucks up your androgen receptors. Also declines in field results a lot, go thirty days with no porn or masturbation and you’ll see how much faster results are with fields. My theory with that is that the etheric cords replenish and you feel more whole

Sometimes but not much.
I think the best to overcome any addicion is to grow your spiritual life and concious.
Try meditation and spiritual audios from Sapien.

Well, I cannot say whether suppressing such intense desires are right thing.
We all might have experienced days when we were super busy, had no major thoughts about sex and sleep instantly at night without the urge to masturbate.
Personal experience, days when I’m fully engaged in my work, I’m just focused on it. Sexual thoughts do not arise. At night, I just feel like sleeping rather than masturbating .
Masturbation is modern society sickness. 100-150 years before, majority had partner to let off sexual energy rather than self pleasure.
To me , suppressing of any intense desire / emotions is greater evil than porn and masturbation.

Porn really brings you into a vicious cycle…
I’ve struggled with it for a long time. The worst is how it depletes you gradually over time, minimizing confidence, self esteem, etc.
Well, would you consider penis exercises as a type of masturbation?

Raj, I agree with everything u wrote except this. Masturbation isn’t new.
Babies and toddlers masturbate (and quite happily I may add!) usually using toys and rubbing the toys against their diapers. Sometimes when U change diapers, and they have easier access they masturbate then too. As a nurse floated into pediatrics I can tell u, it is common place.
TMI but… I also began quite young…I remember being pre-K, so under 5, and liking it very much : ) In fact it caused a problem for me when I was in kindergarten, (no privacy). Somehow I had already …absorbed/known…that it was a private thing.

Porn, masturbation and size are such big deals for people.
It’s a mass obsession. It pops up even in private conversations. I never worried about size or masturbation. I watched too much porn as a teenager, but I hadn’t much else going on.
That obsession is part of the problem. Obsessing on a problem creates an even bigger problem long term.

I learned to balance lust and love, and it seemed to do pretty well for me.

From my personal experience, equally bad. I can’t tell which is the lesser evil.
And I still have so much difficulties and predicaments on this issue

Well, they are worse when you combine them, but I would say porn is the greater evil of the two.
Since I was 14, a Priest whom I really respected told me not to do it, since it could harm the mind and the body and he told me that ejaculation wastes energy, both sexual and spiritual and after some “first-hand research” I found it to be somewhat true.
