Word of the Day: Temperance - The quality of moderation or self-restraint; The ability to discipline oneself against temptations.
Health Cookie #19: You'd be surprised just how damaging for your psychology regular masturbation really is. If you recall, Health Cookies #17 and 18 were about Dopamine, the neurotransmitter and hormone responsible for providing you with a sense of fulfillment whenever you progress toward - or achieve outright - a definite purpose. Remember how I told you that sometimes it's good to restrict yourself, and dumb-down your achievements in your own head, because there's always a rubber-band effect where large dopamine releases result in an aftermath of short-term depression afterward? Well, masturbating to porn releases tremendous amounts of Dopamine, which means if you masturbate to porn regularly, multiple times a day, then you will be depressed regularly, every single day. But that's only the very beginning of why masturbation is bad for you. Dopamine is meant to make you feel rewarded and motivated to continue achieving, but too much dopamine release over a short period of time will actually depress the shit out of you, and make you less aspiring and less accomplishment oriented, over time. The human condition wasn't meant for constant streams of dopamine release, but rather for long-term goals which provide long-term satisfaction in small doses, just a little bit of self-fulfillment toward that big accomplishment every single day. Masturbation, on the other hand, makes your mind become increasingly addicted to instant-gratification patterns, and just absolutely drains it of its will to invest its energy toward long-haul accomplishments and endeavors.
If you regularly masturbate, you will lack the motivation to pursue accomplishments in life; You will cease to aspire toward creativity, finding a suitable romantic partner, making friends, etc. Not only that, but you'll also become visually aroused, as opposed to being sensually aroused. What that means is you might develop erectile dysfunction in actual sexual encounters, because you've conditioned your mind to become aroused only when watching sex, and not when actually having it yourself. I've learned from my own experiences in life that whenever I have a daily grind to work on, such as this channel, masturbation is a non-issue for me. I just don't feel like doing it, and I make love to my wife far more, because my restrained dopamine releases make me feel like more of a man; I'm not overdoing my dopamine releases, which means I never suffer the recoil of depression resulting from excess dopamine release, and I always stay motivated and disciplined toward continued effort in my day to day life. But that's what's funny: If you don't have a definite purpose from which to derive meaningful dopamine releases, then your mind will go wherever the alternative sources of dopamine release are to be found: For some, this is processed food addiction, for others it's masturbation, for others it's marijuana, cigarettes, alcohol, etc, or all/some of the above. During times in my life when I had no ambition, no creative outlet and no daily grind, I would masturbate to porn several times a day, smoke weed, indulge in excessive amounts of junk food, and what's funny is that the regular pattern of masturbation I was committing to was likely the very reason why I lacked the willpower and discipline required to chase my dreams and engage my capacity for creativity daily. It also made me a very selfish lover to my wife. Masturbation is a vampiric habit that feeds off the lifeblood of your very motivation as a human being; It siphons your will to live, your desire to dream and your ability to aspire. It's extraordinarily dangerous, and it devours the potential of countless young men in this day and age. Try not to let yourself be counted among them. Here's the knowledge that matters most: Your brain will seek the secretion of dopamine. If you don't give it a good reason to secrete it, then it will seek out bad reasons to secrete it. This is where addictions come from: Meaningless existences seeking dopamine release from all the wrong places.
