Does masturbation help or worsen inceldom

[Christianmutt]

I have been addicted to masturbation since I was an early teenager, I had periods when I stopped but now I cannot stop anymore, as a christian I feel disgusted with myself, but as an incel I feel it is the only way to cope with my desire for intimacy, keep in mind most of my fantasies are very tame (cuddling, living together and kissing mostly) so it isn't really shaping my sexual tastes. I really don't know the science behind it, some say it is harmless others say it is very harmful, I also don't know if it helps or worsens my depression, seeming I sometimes feel very bad after doing it. I also can't sleep normally without it.
Any thoughts? What is your relation with masturbation? Do you know answers to my questions?

lol, the only thing that can affect your inceldom is your bones.
fapping wont do shit to you, unless it's very excessive (which goes without saying)

I remember being told things like "Hey just stop masturbating and try harder to get casual sex or a girlfriend. Show your face more and get out there!" "Try online dating, that's great too!"

I tried and tried, got nowhere and ended up with a swollen right testicle after 2 weeks which was fine after I fapped again.

So no, it doesn't make inceldom worse in my case. It's a necessary thing to do, unless you have money to burn on escorts or are a rapist!

The only way I can think that it's bad is if you're a good looking mentalcel addicted to porn and you have actual opportunities with the opposite sex that you miss due to your constant fapping!

It has no effect at all.

There is no fap for your bones.

I feel worse when I don't fap tbh.

I think not being addicted to (((porn))) would help. All types of addiction only worsen the situation. But coming there is extremely hard. When I tried NoFap, it turned me crazy over my inceldom and I got just extremely desperate, so I relapsed after one week.

fapping is a great thing if you plan on ldaring for the rest of your life (its basically a free unlimited pleasure), but if you want to productivitymaxx then it can harm you

 

[Deleted member 17883]

Nofap doesn't do shit. But don't let it overwhelm you. It will fuck up your libido.

It has no effect at all.

This. It can have other effects, but concerning your inceldom, none.

A Chad who faps 10 times a day is still a Chad, an incel who never fapped is still an incel.

I cant stop doing it

I literally do it whenever I am not posting here, studying, reading, or playing vidya.

It is a gr8 cope

I started masturbating in my early twenties (i'm in my mid twenties rn), and I can tell you my experience:

At the beginning I would only masturbate 1 time a month, I saw masturbation at that time as a sin (which I still see it as) and I would feel disgusted with myself and I would repent after I did it. I would hold myself and withstand masturbating for a month and then I would do it again. After I while I would do it more often until I got addicted to it, I still masturbate up on to today (I'm currently on NoFap and I'm on day 8) and I hope I will stop with this shit. Masturbating makes me depressed, when you masturbate you lose dopamine and on the long term it's not healthy. Depression, anxiety and exhaustion are the results of masturbation in my personal experience, I hate it and I feel bad when I've done it. I don't see a cure, I'm an incel and probably will be for the rest of my life, the only good thing is the agepill. When you age you'll slightly lose the interest to masturbate , so that's a good thing.

Mammals have masturbated for millions of years, it’s no big deal.

 

[RopeIsMyLove]

Masturbation is a cope. It's your choice how do you want to cope.

 

[Anoncel123]

I'm in the same situation and I'm trying to avoid it a much a possible, but I'm keep failing in all of my attempts. I hope you can make it.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
