For all you guys that are struggling with confidence and struggle to approach women

I have always wondered if masturbating too frequently would desensitise you to the pleasures of sex... Still not really finding any conclusive proof here though. Just suggestions.

You don't stop masturbating expecting to become 'good' at talking to women.
When you stop you become more desperate I guess would be the word, to relieve your self from that blue ball sensation, meaning you have a bigger drive to go out and talk to girls or anyone for that matter. Basically you're more determined to get laid.

Me personally if I don't masturbate for a couple weeks I become some kind of social slut, I'll talk to any girl anywhere. Reason I don't do it as much as I should is because day's off with nothing to do, as all guys know when boredom strikes..

Unfortunately I am not an expert...

No kidding.

No I'm not kidding.

I know. That's what's frightening.

This won't ever be an evidence-based discussion, it will be identical to people who swear that astrology is true because 'in their experience' their life has been transformed. If it works for you then fine but masturbation is an important part of sexual self-knowledge and health and having finally cast off the shackles of Victorian moralism that terrified generations of young people, now people are trying to achieve the same ends by pseudoscientific reasoning about dating women.

If men are struggling to get dates then telling them it's to do with how frequently they masturbate is crazy.

So lets say you have two guys: Guy A and Guy B

Guy A masturbates three times a week
Guy B masturbate five times a day - 35 times a week.

Whom is more likely to get a date? I personally feel that Guy A would because he is not getting his sexual release as much as Guy B. Why should Guy B go out and get his fix when he can do it at home... 5 times a day?

WHen I say fix I don't mean sex on the first date. I mean actively going out on dates that will ultimately lead to sex.

In my experience it does. I struggled having sex because I had a long dry spell thus masturbating more frequently. When I got with my current GF I struggled to ejaculate. I figured I masturbated that frequently that my penis got used to my hand too much and so couldn't get used to the feeling of a vagina again.

I have now stopped masturbating completely and only ejaculate during sex. And its the best sex I have ever had in my whole life and I am personally putting it down to not masturbating.

You just said yourself you became a 'social slut'. That to me sounds like it has kind of worked for you.

I have the sloution for you, and it only two words:



Yes it sounds stupid. But honestly if you stop then the only way you'll be able to 'relieve' yourself is sex. Thats it on a postcard.

But let me explain why:

Complete bull. Masturbation is good for you in moderation. Also a lot of people have no trouble approaching girls (myself included), but still do masturbate regularly (myself included).

Search NoFap forums and even the 2014 thread on TSR and see what people's responses are. It has done people wonders.

One thing I didn't mention however is that masturbation is fine if it is not to porn. Porn depicts an unrealistic representation of women in day to day lives and therefore guys that do masturbate to porn are probably worse off than those that masturbate to real women if you get me.

well done for falling for that feminist bull****. It's pretty easy to watch porn while understanding it's not a real depiction of sex.
a forum is not scientific evidence. For one people are more likely to post back with their positive results. Secondly it could largely be a placebo effect.

please never source TSR as a reference again.

also your whole bass of argument started about dopamine being released. That doesn't change if you masturbate without porn. Not everyone feels guilty after masturbating. It's just a part of life. Hell even when I'm in a sexual relationship I'll masturbate from time to time.
