OP isn’t wrong. Anybody jerking off every single day loses a lot of their masculinity and sex drive. The older you get and continue, the worse it will become. Moderation is key. Only do it for stress relief but not to get a fix from an addiction.
Good point - though it's gonna hit some people hard, this is definitely true. The other chemical/tech aspects are still at play here, but there is no real question about the longterm repercussions of porn/masturbation.
I don't think I did. It takes self discipline to stop caffeine, nicotine, etc too :). And self discipline takes a strong mind/will. Telling yourself no is hard and the more dependent you are, the harder it is. Recovered addicts are some badasses.
Now, how do you teach self discipline? ...Good question. Still trying to figure it out myself.
"People just did not engage in casual sex and masturbation purely for physical pleasure." So 400,000 at woodstock in 69. Tells me for quite some time people were having sex and pulling it for pleasure long before the 70's. Hippies were making love not war remember.
Soy, sugar, lazyness, regular programming about all men bad, preservatives, not getting enough exercise, not getting enough sleep, and being sexually inactive.
Not masturbating, Id have to see the data. Would ask for sauce but.....
Who said I did at all. Just would like to see a corellation in data. I was in short fasion saying that there are a LOT of reasons for low test. Understandinf some about biology Id expect to see decent levels if it was not being used, hence some accuracy that not masturbating would give higher levels for a while. But after prolonged periods it would cause the body to produce less. So, as stated. I would need to see data to consider this fact.
Very True. When you spank it to porn you wreck havoc on the reward system with the chemicals in your brain. For those interested do some research the benefits on semen retention. After two weeks of SR men notice that women are more attracted to them. Plus, don't we all want big balls to have the big dick energy of a lion like Trump?
It could contribute sure. Part of the testosterone production is to compete for propagation rights with females. So in that sense, when you are draining the sack daily into a sock your wasting your god given masculinity on Hanes. BUT the other reasons listed: plastics, soy, chemicals, environment are very key contributing factors to the reduction in testosterone production. To act like they are not is fairly ignorant on your part.
Hardly making up sins. It's called lust. This is from Jesus sermon on the mount.
Matthew 5:27-30- "You have heard the commandment that says you must not commit adultery. But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your eye- even your good eye- causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your hand- even your stronger hand- causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell."
Not saying it's easy in the world we live in where literally everything you see is designed to get us to lust, but it is sin. Thankfully we have the blood shed on the cross to redeem us because we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
It's one thing to be shown the path, it's an entirely different problem to walk it. I'd like to see them try to quit... just try. I dare you. See what kind of excuses you can come up with when you relapse. It is 100% an addiction problem.
For those asking for "proof" it shouldn't be our job to find it for you
If you've ever quit you definitely know op's theory is accurate. Especially if you fluctuated back and forth before. It leaves you drained and unfocused - definitely more in an amoral state of mind, which is why it is a very effective weapon.
As a female, knowing how many people lust after others in pornography makes me uncomfortable to be around most people. EVERYONE is used sexually at that point, even if it’s not on purpose. We as a society have CHILDREN (boys 13-18) with erectile dysfunction, even though they shouldn’t be doing anything sexual at that age. It’s sick and needs to be fixed.
One vial my of blood and I can instantly prove this theory wrong.

Gotta do it after gme moons so I have post nut clarity
Ejaculation is not the same as an orgasm. Dudes using their hands will never achieve orgasm. The penis KNOWS when it’s being abused.

So you searched for truth and came up empty? I have my doubts. A search for "porn/masturbation addiction" in your favorite engine is a good way to start...
And how is voyeurism/cucking the action of a strong person? Self discipline is the way of the strong. Hands off that dick!

Bath houses in old Rome...Greeks eating, purging and fucking until they pass out. Yeah, porn with 70s bush is what wrecked testosterone... Stooooopid
Ancient murals in India that are downright pornographic as well.
This is my theory. Many wives today are on their phones and can’t be bothered.
Okay Puritan, where did you get this crazy idea that none of those things happened before the 70s. More that people just weren't so open about it.

Where's the data? None? Sex with oneself has existed forever. This is a stupid comment.
Sex and masterbating are perfectly fine. The more sex my wife and I have the happier we are. My wife is almost as kinky as I am at this point haha
Consider yourself lucky then. Many spouses are mismatched in this area.

Or, maybe just the fact that so many men keep their cell phones in their front pocket.

Tons of shills and addicts in here. Pushing the agenda, and afraid to let go. This is sad. Seems like you struck a nerve OP.
Here's a spiritual take on the whole matter for those so inclined.

Low testosterone levels come from
incessant pollution
plastics fucking up the endocrine system
and the massive amounts of gen soy + gen meat used in all kinds of products.
Low testosterone + obese + not enough mental spine to draw red lines and defend them.
add to this TV programming,
and you have your lazy ass toxic (sic!) male these days who doensn't know shit, can't be bothered to put effort in.
making up sins now?
It's the flouride and chemicals in the water, along with a society that celebrates girly men

Just remember they started drugging mostly white male kids about 35 years ago for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, that didn't help.
