Day 43 - thoughts/ramble

Keep seeing posts that it's healthy to masturbate 21 times a month and that it's perfectly fine and normal to fap daily. That just doesn't seem healthy to me at all..

I will say masturbation in itself isn't as bad as porn.. but I think at the very least it should be done in moderation/seldomly for the general population.

People don't wanna talk about nofap or abstaining for days or weeks because it's hard and takes genuine restraint and self control, changing ones mindset and thinking - it's no small thing. Even if it helps, people don't wanna do it because they don't wanna change.

You see it in people who are alcoholics, drug addicts, sex addicts, etc. it's escapism and distraction - it's unhealthy cheap dopamine that rots your brain, especially if you're fapping multiple times a week or daily.

It's definitely more ideal if you never did it to porn, but the act itself could lead down back to porn because your imagination may not hold a candle to porn's endless categories, visual stimulation and dopamine levels.

People never wanna do hard things. Some do, until the thing gets difficult then they want none of it.

Keep going.
