you have nothing better to do

i think there's something like an activity queue in the brain, and it prioritizes activities by pleasure and enjoyment

if there's nothing in front of masturbation in the queue, its only natural you'd start doing it

if you stop fapping it won't necessarily bring about more fun activities, you'll have to resort to something even more dull

the takeaway is that you need to find or rediscover something with more meaning and enjoyment than fapping, and you will naturally stop doing it as often

Quickest way in my experience to reduce the frequency is to avoid going or being in those spaces I’d usually find myself masturbating. That would be my bedroom for example. So I’d avoid my bedroom until it was time to go to bed (and I was genuinely too exhausted to take my dick out).

Another major thing would be avoiding any triggers. So, that would be any online spaces where you’d be exposed to attractive women and get the urge to masturbate.

Too many times I click on an NSFW thread or post, here or elsewhere where I find myself eventually masturbating 15 mins. later, when an hour ago I had no intention of doing so.

That, and addressing boredom. If you’re bored you will seek some relief, and porn/masturbating is an easy way to get some. You need to occupy yourself with other things that interest you. Genuinely. Something you find yourself excited about.

It’s higher than I’d like it personally. It’s not the worst, but I’d say 2-3x a week is fine. Once a day feels like it’s become routine and that there might be a lack of restraint when it comes to your sexual desires. It might even indicate you’re not busy enough since you’ve got time everyday to occupy yourself like that.

I think I've done it like 5 times today

Yes. Once a year also is.

yea I’m probably not busy enough, especially since it’s the holidays
tbh it takes like 15-20 mins before I go to sleep and it helps me fall asleep too
when I had a gf tho I never jerked off, having sex with her was more than enough, and going days without touching my shit, I was even more rock hard when I was with her

twice a day? with that title I thought you were doing it 5 times a day for the past 7 years

yes that's why it annoys me personally. It feels like more of a routine kinda thing instead of actual horniness. Feels like I have no control over my desires and that my brain gets desensitized more and more to actual sex.

Yeah, it probably does. Whenever I go a bit longer without masturbating there’s also a sense of drive or ambition that comes from not satiating all my sexual desires immediately.

After all, for most of human history those sexual desires led boys to become men and make things of themselves in the hope of attracting a woman that finds them attractive or worth procreating with.

Now, since we can so easily get that part of our brain satisfied it has us to some extent become passive when pursuing sex or sexual relationships.
