So since we all know that watching porn is a bad for your health&fitness, is it also bad to jerk off alltogether? When is it bad and when not?
>Jerking off to porn:
Bad.
>Jerking off to faggot shit like anime/cartoons/drawings:
Bad.
>Jerking off to pics of hot girls:
??
>Jerking off to imagination
??
So how about just looking at pics of hot girls/looking at porn without touching you? Is this bad for your testosterone levels and motivation?
There is nothing biologically bad or unhealthy about masturbation. The problem is that masturbation in conjunction with porn can promote anti-social behavior which can lead to mental illness or other issues. In theory, masturbation by itself isn't such a bad thing but in practice it becomes apparent that the two kinda go hand in hand. You can still exhibit a lot of those behaviors without actually looking at porn.
It's all on a spectrum.
Imagination > photos > videos
As for looking at photos without masturbating, I personally don't see the point. It will just make you horny. It temporarily boosts your testosterone, but I don't see why that small boost is useful outside of exercise. I suspect that abstaining from that temporary boost would actually result in a very slight long term boost.
Also, real girls > everything
>can promote anti-social behavior
well im on Veeky Forums so im already showing having anti-social behavior
i wanna improve myself but idk if that m eans no more porn
i dont think if it matters cause i fail at getting laid no matter if i would watch it or not?

It is good if you don't cum.
Cumming makes you weaker.
Don't do it unless it's for a reproductive purpouse.
The question I have is: how does reading porn relate to this spectrum??

>dont even need to move and aim at the same time
im mirin desu
Pics of hot girls and imagination you will typically insert yourself into the situation. You're mentally thinking of yourself having sex.
Watching porn, you're watching someone ELSE have sex. You're mentally getting off on the idea of someone else having sex, not you. You fucking cuck
Ya know, I never thought of it this way, but I feel like that's actually a really good point, at least with a lot of porn. Whenever I masturbate using my imagination/just looking at pics of hot girls I am always imagining myself banging/doing whatever with them. On the other hand, watching a lot of hardcore porn, I actually find myself taking a more third-person perspective to it, and getting off to the idea/imagery of these OTHER people fucking, not self-inserting. Honestly, this never quite fully occurred to me until you just said it. Maybe that's actually a big part of the problem with looking at so much hardcore porn and how it fucks us up, as opposed to just masturbating to you imagination or the images of attractive women, and also explains the sudden huge rise in people with shit like cuckolding fetishes and such.
^full hardon wtf
Is using ugly/fat/gay chicks as fucktoys worse then jacking off? Or should I just go full monk mode till I find a woman worth pursuing?
To combat the porn addiction I tried switching to "erotic literature", more like slutty confessions which force me to imagine the situation. So far it works in a sense that I don't look at porn anymore.
You will be more open to interaction with the opposite sex thus leading to more lays.
The whole drive to fuck chicks as it's the ONLY way you can cum is fucking amazing and will do wonders.
Ehh I been doing this too. Just on my off workout days. Thinking about just going MONK as I find them unattractive and afterwards always regret it lol.

Failure to ejaculate on a regular basis can give you a higher risk of prostate cancer.

Only if you've already fucked your prostate up in your early years from EXCESSIVE mulitple times a day masturbation.
And also from having an inflamed prostate from viruses and the like.
If you actually read the article it states that it would be advisable to HAVE SEX at least once a month if you have an inflamed or infected prostate or are middle aged and have a very enlarged prostate.
They also haven't the first goddamned clue if the people in the study were truthful, didn't actually look at their activity levels or diet(if I'm remember correctly) and honestly have no fucking clue why it works.
Only that it does.

That is not what it fucking says. You just can't handle that nofap is fucking retarded because you're a believer.

>tfw no hot sister
All I got was a shitty brother
Well, is he hot though?
Imagination mode makes my brain feel swole when I jerk it and pornography is like apple pie it is nice but I am cheatin myself and I feel worse for it
And you're that porn shill that's been whoring jacking off and pornography for fucking months.
I read the actual fucking study you faggot.
I also read enough about the subject to know that you're full of shit.
Fapping if you're a young healthy man has no positive and all negatives what so ever.
It's sex or nothing.
That's all.
