Man's nature

[capriciousduck]

Is it man's nature to jerk off to porn or to masturbate? The habit starts in one, usually, and, if not much early, at around 18 years of age. Does the habit stop after reaching a certain age, I mean does the urges and the striving for it subside? 

I realized that, by contemplating, I like doing that(the jerking off). Now, after knowing that I like doing it, how do I stop doing it? Can I do something which develops dislike in me towards doing it? 

And @Nahm do you have anything to say about this?

I don't believe so. Modern porn is highly unnatural. Conscious masturbation may have its benefits.

No, age has nothing to do with it.

Of course you like it, it's a huge dopamine rush. You've got to separate that from a true feeling of fulfillment.

The only real way I've found to beat porn and unhealthy masturbation is to replace it with something healthier.

Sure, you can try to stuff the energy down with willpower. But you're going to be miserable and will eventually fail.

Instead, you've got to channel the energy.

Get lots of physical movement in. Have a creative pursuit, whether that's in work, your art or whatever. Ground yourself in nature. Learn how to move the energy with your intentions.

And most importantly, get an actual girlfriend.

 Are you saying you focused on what you wanted and experienced it, and now you have something else in mind you might want to experience more?

If so, a dreamboard is a great idea.
