Hey guys its been awhile!

I don’t know if anyone has tried this, but I can’t believe the huge differences I have felt with the two weeks being off of both. My negative self-talk is down dramatically, I have had more motivation to do things, and I have been getting more attention from the ladies lately as well. I really think that porn desensitizes us and makes us content with our current situation, making it hard to reach the goals that we would like. I would highly recommend giving this a shot if you a regular user. The changes arrived very quickly and were very noticeable almost immediately.

Has anyone else done this?

Yes. Modern society wants to say there are no negative effects to masturbation when the exact opposite is true. The majority of the scientific community just refuses to look into it for whatever reason. The first few days are bad but after that the positive effects start kicking in and you say “I’m never falling back into that again” until most of us do. Best of luck to you though. Even without full-on stoppage, cutting down and minimizing can have great effects.

Not sure about masturbation but definitely agree about the porn
