>>11793484I can only offer my story. I stopped fapping for two weeks and my balls started hurting. I went to the urologist, and because of that, plus my weight back then, I ended up creating a "mass" in my balls. He gave me medicine and that went away. Point is, he told me to masturbate about 3 or so times a week. Honestly, the more I said
>I'll wank it only on Saturdaysthe harder it was and the more obsessed I was with it. Now, I fap once every few times, precisely because I don't really think of it. If some day I'm especially horny I just rub one out and go about my day. It's not fapping that's the problem, it's the obsession. Finding the perfect porn, edging for an hour, doing it multiple times per day, and of course slowly falling to deeper and deeper pits of fetishes. If you stop paying that much attention, those will eventually go away as well, FYI. So if there's something that you don't want to be fapping to anymore, but it still makes your dick hard, just stick with this method. Whenever your mind goes to X and you get a boner, rub one out at something vanilla. Eventually your tastes will move away from X and into whatever you want them to.
At the end of the day, it's all in your head. If you think that it'll help you, try it. But it won't give you superpowers or anything. If you're jerking off 4 times per day, and have DeviantArt tier fetishes, then you won't get rid of them that way, you'll only make it harder. Start smaller, wanking it once every two or three days. Then four. Then once a week. Then wank it two times per week. Eventually you'll stop obsessing over it, and you'll be a normal guy who jerks off whenever he gets horny.
TL;DR It's not healthy to wank it multiple times every single day, but you need to do it a couple of times per week. So try to find a program that works and distance yourself from the act if you have a problem, and slowly but surely you'll stabilize again.
