He's decided to give up masturbation for good now
For the vast majority, masturbation is a pretty normal part of their lives. But one man made the decision to go cold turkey on a bit of alone time - and doesn't regret it in the slightest. In fact, he went as far to say that abstaining from masturbation for 90 days was the "best" decision he's ever made. Taking to Reddit, the unidentified man revealed that he's decided to give up completely. He wrote: "I had no idea that I was 3 months in because I didn't check my streak often, maybe once every 1-2 weeks which I think was key in my abstinence."
The man then explained that during this time, he had "more energy, my brain stopped sexualising normal things and my brain fog is basically gone."
"I find it easier to socialise, and start conversations. I have also experienced a huge energy boost in the gym, and have seen tremendous progress during these 3 months," he continued.
The man explained that abstaining from self-pleasure meant he had more "discipline and helped him "get up on early mornings when I did not feel like hitting the gym, helped me get out of bed during bad days and rough times."
So after three months, he concluded that he will "will not be going back to masturbating" as "not doing it has helped me more than doing it has."

He admitted: "Some people may call this placebo, and even if it was just placebo, all these successes stories have actually helped with other people's mental healths [sic]."
The man went on to give some advice to anyone considering giving up masturbating, so those of you considering a November-themed challenge may want to take note.
"My advice would be to live life, enjoy it past the short pleasures of masturbating," he wrote. "Don't remain a slave to your sexual desires, push through and become a better version of yourself for you and no one else."
Many congratulated the man for his achievement, with some even saying it had inspired them to follow the same path.
"Even if it’s a placebo, the results are no lies," wrote one Redditor.
A second added: "Congratulations bro, reading this success story has really inspired me to keep going and never leave.
"It's only been 18 hours since i've committed to nofap but i will never go back to my old porn-stricken life again. Support brothers and sisters [sic]."
"Let's go, am on day 1," added a third.
But there are also plenty who argue regular masturbation can have a number of positive impacts on people's lives.
For example, this company reckons half-hour masturbation breaks for its staff help reduce stress and "normalise" the natural human habit.
And some experts think that in a couple of months time, it could be the perfect way to deal with some seasonal blues.
