(nsfw- if you make it like that) Know any benefits from abstaining masturbation?

Asked by Male (1353points) December 25th, 2011

I’ve been doing some reading and saw a lot of positive health benefits to stopping self-pleasure. The most popular include…

mentally:
– increased energy
– increased focus and concentration
– desire to go out and hunt for women
– increased confidence, aggressiveness, and boldness
– a carefree attitude towards negatives in life
– become more sociable

physically:
– increased testosterone levels
– increased blood flow during erections
– more powerful orgasms during sex

Personally, I’ve tried abstaining and the increased energy was definitely noticeable. I would sleep at late hours and wake up 5–6 hours later with the feeling of a full night’s rest. I also got annoyed and frustrated much more easily, and I was slightly more aggressive. I also felt more confident around other people and didn’t care about what they thought or what they said (if I chose not to). I don’t know if it was all a placebo or not, but what happened was definitely there. It’s life-changing…literally.

Anyone know some derived benefits from abstaining, or have any personal experiences?
