Whatever your reasons are, I find that abstaining from masturbation has many benefits-

Increased confidence and energy
Less need for sleep
More creativity
More attraction from opposite sex
Better communication skills

I have been experimenting for a while, but it seems that this is definitely not placebo effect. It seems to peak around 4-10 days, and then seems to stabilize a bit with random bouts of energy further on. at 3-4 weeks I don't even have the urge anymore.

If I masturbate a lot, (everyday for few days or even more) I find my mood turns apathetic and I end up sleeping instead of doing things I need to do.

If you fill yourself with activities to do it will be MUCH easier. When you are sitting around bored it is almost impossible to achieve your goal. If I work so hard that I am exhausted at night, then I will not be tempted to masturbate at all. Hard physical work (or exercise), will be your only route to stopping.

Let us know how you go.
