>>12396153I think my case is a particularly peculiar one. Unlike most other boys, I didn't start masturbating in my early teens. My family has always been pretty open about sexuality, and I myself didn't have any moral or religious reasons to not jerk off, but I simply wasn't interested in it. The few times I tried to masturbate, out of curiosity, I got bored within the first few minutes and just stopped. It wasn't until when I was 18 and in uni that I decided to experiment with it again, and for the first time I managed to go through all of it. I found it to be surprisingly good, but over time I noticed how different I felt when I masturbated. Being someone who wasn't used to it, I could notice significant differences with my body. My muscles would be significantly weaker over the next few hours, to the point that I couldn't even do my workout routine properly. I'd also have less energy available for the rest of the day, reaching my physical and mental limits sooner than I was used to, and I would sleep more hours than normal. For short, jerking off would make me feel like shit, at least physiologically speaking, and that difference from when I wouldn't masturbate made me quit.
Nowadays, I'm masturbating if I'm going to be sleeping somewhere else than my home for a few days and I don't want to have nocturnal emissions.
