In this thread I'll discuss several numbers of ways that can efficiently reduce your tendency towards masturbation.
Often times, the tendency to masturbate comes from a multitude of reasons. People feel lazy, others want relief of stress, some people have strong hormonal drives, etc. Living in a society with very easy access to porn is a big issue. However, in some cases masturbation can be determined as beneficial. For example, your testosterone levels spike significantly around a week after not ejaculating.

This being said, masturbation once a week can prove beneficial (WITHOUT PORN). This thread is directed towards those who have an addiction towards masturbation.
All in all, these methods will greatly help you distract yourself from masturbation. If you start getting the hang of controlling it, doing it once a week without porn is a good way for that short test boost.

- Below I'll list multiple ways to help people efficiently reduce their desires towards masturbation.
- The "Cold-Hands technique": This method involves you using running cold water under your hands for around 20 - 30 seconds, which helps disrupt the sexual arousal cycle immediately. Whenever you have a sudden temperature drop your body enters from parasympathetic nervous system mode (PNS) to sympathetic nervous system mode (SNS). The SNS mode occurs when there is a drastic change your body reacts to. Sexual arousal cycle only occurs while you're in PNS. This method is a great way to quickly distract yourself from masturbation.
- Going outside and doing sprints for short intervals. Although this method may sound like bullshit, it actually helps you get away from masturbation. Sprinting for short intervals raises cortisol for a quick time which lowers libido. Sprinting also triggers the HPA Axis, which releases hormones to control your body. Moreover, sprinting shifts blood flow from your pelvic area to your heart and quad areas, dropping arousal.
- The "Cold-Air technique": Similar to the 1st method, this technique involves you putting your face into the fridge for around 60 seconds. This triggers the trigeminal nerve, which then spikes Norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter/hormone in your brain that overtakes libido signals. Another efficient method that helps you away from masturbation.
