I must be addicted to this thing called "water". It makes me feel good and I have to repeat drinking it often! It's an insufferable feeling when I don't do it for a day, I think hope for me ever getting out of this addiction might be already lost! 

@Girzo Honestly same bro. If truths be told its great to hear someone else's story about this. I'm kind of embarrassed to say it but I've been in waterholics anonymous for 25 years now. Feels like I'm gonna take this addiction to my grave. Hang in there tho brother, we got this.

@something_else if you clap booty three times in a row, how long do you need to recover from that?

I probably wouldn’t be thinking about sex that much for a day or two. But I could def get horny still if I wanted. Physically it’s just like a workout so whatever my normal recovery time is for a reasonably intense workout

Ejaculation serves only one purpose: to impregnate a woman.

Ejaculation will serve whatever purpose one want to give to it, there is no universal purpose here. You can do it to feel pleasure, or to release stress etc.

It's true in my direct experience. If your experience is different, more power to you.

If you recognize that your case is not universal, then why do you try to make arguments using your special case to say that masturbation is bad?

I shoot huge loads. After 3 times in a row my body needs time to reproduce my semen repertoire. Perhaps you should small loads and that is why you need less time. In terms of physical exercise: I could go all day.

There are better ways to release stress.

I actually don't believe that my case is special. I think most men lack experience with semen retention. They haven't experienced the contrast between masturbating every day and abstaining from masturbation for thirty days. You learn through contrast. Experience the contrast between these two different states and you may want to stop masturbating forever.

Thats okay, but this claim is totally different from your starting implication,that masturbation is actually objectively bad. For some, semen retention is a net negative.

Thats up to the individual to decide what one wants to use to release stress and why.

How is this different from you going to a doctor, saying that you feel like crap after eating ordinary food and doctor telling you that you are just bullshitting yourself?

If u masturbate once and u feel very low, there could be some kidney problems i think. But almost anyone who masturbates for 3-5 times in a row will feel the effects of being tired. Isn't that a prove that ejaculation drains energy? And why would u waste that energy even? It's like throwing money away just for the fun of it. How is that smart? ?

Fun could be very important to people, pleasure can be important to people, releasing stress can be important to people.

Obviously people are doing this for a specific purpose, once that purpose is met you can't call it dumb or a waste of time anymore.

I still fail to see what's so smart about throwing energy away just to experience 3sec long tingling sensation in your body lol. I shouldn't be the only one seeing this. It's so obvious really. ?

This whole semen retention thing is only for serious spiritual seekers i think. I don't think an avarge guy needs that much energy to live his daily life. He can afford to throw it left and right as he goes. Only someone who wants to transend his animal nature and make use of the available energies within to ascend to a higher possibility should look into it.

You call it "throwing away energy lol", because you don't value the things that some people value, but your value is just as subjective as anyone elses. If your definition of smart is to never do anything for fun, or for pleasure or to release stress, then I guess you can call it dumb.

I think most people masturbate not ouf of fun but bc they have no choice about it. They will go crazy if they don’t ? 

I'm not against having fun tho.

I don't think masturbation is objectively bad. I think of masturbation as something that can be outgrown. I like to compare masturbating to egoing. That's a much more apt comparison. It's certainly more apt than comparing it to shitting.
