Why are you guys so obsessed with dragging Nigerian women at every little opportunity? 😂 Somehow, no matter the topic, you people will find a way to make Nigerian women the villain. Is it really that hard to make a point without using Nigerian women as your punching bag? 😭
I started masturbating when I was 16. Being an introvert made it easier to turn it into a habit.
Here are a few things I learned over the years: what’s not true, what might be the root cause, and why I decided to stop.
What’s not true:
Masturbation does not cause erectile dysfunction. I struggled with the habit for years. Some days, I did it more than five times, yet I still have strong erections to this day.
It also doesn’t permanently lower sperm count. If you ejaculate multiple times in a day, your semen volume and sperm count may temporarily decrease because your body needs time to replenish its stores. Within a day or two, they usually return to normal.
The root cause: Porn
I noticed that the less porn I watched, the less I masturbated. The more I watched it, the more I felt the urge.
Quitting masturbation can be difficult, especially if porn has become part of the habit. For me, reducing or quitting porn was where the real change started. It didn’t happen overnight, but it got easier over time.
Why I chose to stop:
For me, it often left me feeling mentally drained and unmotivated afterward. Life is already demanding, so I’d rather put that time and energy into things that move me forward. Find hobbies you enjoy. Go to the gym. Watch a movie. Hang out with friends. Sometimes, simply getting out of your room is the first step to breaking the cycle.
