Probably, when I had a gf I masturbate like once every 1 or 2 months. Now I fap almost everyday
Definitely. When you don't enjoy actually doing anything it's hard to resist a quick dopamine hit. This is why alcohol and drug abuse is also heavily correlated with depression, some people are so fucked that they literally have no other sources of joy in their lives.
Masturbation addiction has a number of causes.
Primarily it turns out to be a result of depression or other mood affecting mental issues intersecting with an already high sex drive.
The result is an already highly sexual individual who now has a deficiency in a number of chemicals associated with happiness that also has a direct line to pump himself full of said chemicals.
Once the paths are formed and solidified the habit is formed and eventually the compulsion to masturbate becomes consuming.
From there you devolve into a being focused entirely on consuming pornography and jerking off. Problem is over time you need bigger hits to feel the same feelings, so you start experimenting. This can lead to many degrading and otherwise unpleasent sexual adventures. One day you'll either ruin your life through STDs or compulsive sex, or you'll clean up. Thats your choice, but don't wait too long. It gets harder and harder to quit every day you succumb.
Depression is caused by masturbation addiction.
Depression is caused when you actually take a moment to examine the state of society and your role in it.
Most people who say they have depression dont actually have depression
user, are you implying that we live in a society?
Masturbation is normal and healthy. It helps release stress and blueball. Ejaculation also dramatically helps prevent prostate cancer. Those hardcore no-fap idiots will suffer prostate cancer soon in their 40's if they dont release sperm out of their dick regularly.
But masturbation to porn or erotic things is bad because it fucks up your mid, ie the way you see the world and people. That's how masturbation here results to depression.
The best way to masturbate ( if you dont have a gf) is do it regularly ( 2 or 3 times/ week) with only your imagination. And stay away from porn.
All addictions are caused by depression.

Compared to meth maybe
Based & reasonable. Porn is trash.

Reddit normie scum get off my board.
my imagination is kill it's hopeless
I think once a week is more optimal. Also, don't forget your brain will auto-release through wet dreams after a while. I think this is probably most natural, being as your brain starts essentailly self-regulating it.
Masturbation is good because once you do it you no longer think about your penis or porn or girls anymore you just focus on the real work. Also all the nofapper fags are incels they think if they do nofap they will get confident and get all the girls
you know this website isn't for people below the age of 18, right?
Yes I know now get out of this site and come back once you turn 18
and vice versa
people are addicted to fapping because they fap all the time and see nothing wrong with it
what a cringe retort lmao
Nope. But it doesn’t help. If you’re depressed minimal effort hedonistic experiences are more tempting. Drinking, binge eating, escaping into video games etc
>coom nerevar, friend or traitor coom.
More like depression caused by masturbation
no its caused by being ugly most likely
Daily reminder that NoFap is a tranny psyop meant to make virgin incels thirsty enough to want to fuck ANYTHING, including trannies
Indeed.
I'm 31, I never had a wet dream in my life. My longest NoFap is 60 days.
I wonder that myself. I find I'm fine but my sex drive is always telling me to fuck or jerk off, it's annoying when you're trying to nofap or be celibate.
yep yep yep
get a job faggot
>don't question anything bro just continue wage slaving and consuming product
Well, I'm addicted to jacking it, but I've never had depression, so I'll go with maybe
Long version of “no u”
I'm 19 and also never had a wet dream. Longest nofap was also around 60 days. But I started fapping at 8 and was a chronic masturbator until around 13 years old.
I have a gf now and I have no erection or libido issues (except maybe the fact that she comes faster than me and sometimes it's difficult to sync).
its probably cyclical
>bad mood
>masturbate some more
>even worse mood cause chemicals
>masturbate more
>the cycle continues
Oh gee thanks for sending me those good vibes. Is that what cured your depression? Wow you must really know what it feels like to deal with depression hence the good vibes. Thanks.
no
addiction is not depression per se
a lot of these things go hand in hand, but depression is very varied. you have to look at it on a individual level.
