>>11130390Dont listen to this. It's the complete opposite. Abstience owers habitual urges towards it and frees your mind of all the subconscious sexual materials and instances of arousal that occur throughout the day. I have less urges whenever I abstain for a few weeks than whenever I'm masturbating twice a day. When I'm sexually active I am a slave and release brings satiety for about 30 minutes.
