I am really lost here now... Why is not masturbating for a certain period considered "delayed gratification", but sticking to a nutrition and workout plan, much of which isn't easy, for a certain period of time in order to have a leaner, stronger, and healthier body NOT "delayed gratification" and also a bad way to strengthen willpower?
If I'm saving up to eventually buy some land and build a house on it, is that not a form of "delayed gratification"? Does anything I learn about delaying gratification for a greater purpose or strengthening willpower by not taking a chunk of that money to run out and buy a brand new, top of the line computer with a big stack of games, become void if I masturbate daily while doing it?
