the meaning of "not wanting to mb"

[spermgod]

hey guys, thx for all the interest and support, this forum rox my sox. anyway, i've been reading many of the journals here and had a question that i hope will generate some feedback. i ask this question with absolutely no judgment attached and this is important to keep in mind as i do not want to offend anyone (a big concern of mine.) here's the question:

other than trying to induce a wd, i've noticed that many of you are choosing to stop mb's altogether. why is this?

i'm assuming there will be a variety of reasons and maybe this would make a great poll.

take care and thx for answering.

I found I quickly became a slave to MB. I never stopped to question if it was right to be that way. I just used to tell myself I had a high sex drive and that was that. I was wasting hours doing it most nights. Like an addict who can't just take drugs in moderation, I had become like that with MB. It affected the way I looked at women and thought about them. That in itself didn't really matter, as more how much time I was wasting every day not getting meaningful things done with my life and instead wasting it fapping to pics of women I'd never meet in my life. I was going to bed later, and sometimes going to bed wired then taking ages to wind down. As a result of getting less sleep than I needed, I found myself getting sick more. Some nights when I was really tired, I'd say to myself that "I should probably take a break from MB tonight because I need to get a decent night's sleep". That was how it was for me. Routine MB had become the norm.

The thing that I believe a lot of people forget is that there's MB and there's MB. The act in itself isn't bad at all. But some people, myself included, don't know how to do it in moderation. So for us, aiming to give it up entirely, or at the very least, reduce our usage considerably, is highly desirable.

hey luvscurvy- thank you so much for explaining your experiences and choices. i had figured something like this may be some guys' reason. i definitely support whatever a person feels he needs to do with his/her own body and your explanation seems sound and well thought out. i really appreciate your time. i imagine that WD's are more desirable considering their function as a release without the preoccupation? take care-- sg

I wanted to see if i 'could' stop, and found out it had more of a hold on me than I thought.

Also, I want the various benefits people talk about, and I want to strengthen my willpower. Also, it can't possibly be helping me get a girlfriend
