I notice now though, that when I was able to do this, the stress relief was great, but it became increasingly temporary. It also caused me to have an inability to focus properly and I had a serious motivation problem. I was tired ALL THE TIME!! It would take a long time for me to fall asleep and even longer for me to wake up in the morning.

Now that I'm older though, in my early 30's, I find that life is so much better without taking matters into my own hands. I can focus and remember things so much clearer than before. I fall asleep easily without taking a sleep aide and wake up clear-headed before my first cup of coffee. My dreams are longer, clearer, and incredibly more lucid than ever before.

I am not saying that I'm a superhero with self-control, what I'm saying is that by cutting back and building self-control will improve your lives remarkably. My quest to you is to take a break and build yourself back-up. Don't let the women on your monitor and television bring you down to your knees like you're some kind of slave to them. Instead, use that energy to serenade your real-life gal, or if you don't have one, use that energy to go out and get one!!

So true, masturbate daily and my energy is gone. Do it two or three times a day and I can actually become a bit depressed from it.

Once a week seems about right for me...
