Porn,women,lifestyle, anxieties, motivation

Since it's an established idea out there that quitting porn and masturbation leads to increased motivation, less anxiety, more confidence, more drive to work on things in life, bettering your lifestyle etc.. If that's the case then does actually being addicted to porn and masturbating constantly lead to a lack of motivation on everything in life?

I feel like I'm that guy. I jack off constantly and always try to quit. Manage for a few days but the compulsion comes back. Ive been jacking for for about 10 years and I feel like my life has really been limited because of it. I don't have any drive in any area in my life. The last two years it was easy for me to make friends and become a bit hyper social but that was mostly due to getting into pickup and game. I feel like a kinda suck at life and truthfully I haven't accomplished anything after graduating high school. I'm 22 now and I still live with my mom and sister. I feel like there is so much potential out there for me but don't have any drive to accomplish anything. That's a little about me.

Read through the No More Porn thread in the lifestyle section, lots of good stuff in there. I read a blog post recently about how the author tries to go without sexual release for 7 days at a time, and if by that time he doesn't get laid he will masturbate. Mystery also suggested a similar approach in The Game, if I remember correctly. I have definitely gotten more control in my life since I have cut back significantly on masturbation and porn, and it makes a huge difference in motivation to go out and get girls. Just try cutting back slowly, maybe add a day every other week, so abstain for 3 days this week, then 4 days in two weeks, until you reach 7. At that point see if you want to push it farther. Good luck!

What I have noticed is that masturbation does lead you to well, take longer to do things. As a result you end up not being as motivated. In fact a lot of bodybuilders say it can diminish gains as well.

At my age, I am horny as phuck and beat it nearly every day, helps me sleep too!
