Pros are the normal, it is enjoyable, it feels safe
Negatives are definitely an over reliance on the visualand routine that then cannot be replicated with a paryner
Positive is nill
Negative is it makes me long for a person to share with.
Positive - stress relief, feel so relaxed after
Negative - watching porn clouds your judgement of what actual sex is like in the real world
Relaxation and a break from real life is the positive. Feeling secretive and a bit guilty is the negative
Nothing positive. Reminded me of how weak my erection is when I am already ejaculating. Not an experience I’d gladly revisit.
Well theres little anxiety when masterbating and i orgasm quite fast. Negative would be getting into a routine that hinders sex
I find it really hard to climax with my partner so changing my masturbation technique will hopefully help that
Positive is the nice sensations and orgasm.
Negative is getting wrapped up in illusions, extended mastubation which leads to loss of sensitivity, and usually an unfulfilled feeling at the end.
Positives: It’s relieves stress.
Negatives: masturbating to porn overstimulates me, I can edge for hours, it has numbed me to normal sensual touch with a partner and decreased the appeal of intimacy.
Porn means I need a lot to be aroused
The positive affects are climaxing, relaxation and mood control. Negatively, it can become easier and less stressful than sex making it a go to and affecting my libido with my partner.
Positive : makes me feel good obviously
Negatives : sexual appetite seems to go down after wards
Definitely had the death grip syndrome for way too long. I was a virgin until a few months ago and I’m nearly 25 so as a teenager and for most of my young adult life my only sexual experience was masturbation. Instead of learning how to enjoy physical touch and sensations with a woman, I was addicted to watching porn and gripping my penis with a tight grip like I wanted to rip it off. When I had/have sex it’s not how I expected because it’s not like the tight grip of my hand. I’m still trying to get used to the feeling of a vagina even though I absolutely do enjoy it.
Positive: orgasm, relaxation, can help with sleep, managing sexual desire if on my own
Negative: not helping with ED by using same routine and feels selfish
Obviously, there is the release that I get. That’s a definite positive. However, as pointed out in the video, I feel like I have become overly reliant on the feeling of friction to become truly aroused.
Positive: feels good, sense of relief.
Negative: lowers my sex drive, if I masturbate to porn I feel that I shouldn’t rely on it as much as I do
Positive - relieves stress
Negative - masturabting contributes to performance anxiety (i.e. I masturabted yesterday, my erection isn’t going to be as strong today) and it gives me brain fog the day afterwards which sex does not
I enjoy wanking a lot more when I’m alone. It feels like that’s the only way I can cum most of the time. I’m gay so there feels like there’s a lot of pressure to cum at the same time as my partner when we’re wanking each other. Pretty much never happens though. Even when it feels like he’s getting it right it’s nearly impossible for me to blow
I used to be concerned If I mastrubated too often, reducing my sensitivity but now I don’t masterbate often at all and now I feel less connected with myself sexualy.
I have fallen into a routine whenever I masturbate. This seems like it helps.
