Masturbation provides repeated hits of dopamine which lowers your general serotonin and testosterone levels. I think evolutionarily-speaking a man who does not ejaculate much needs to be more aggressive/masculine to attract a mate and a man that gets regular sex downregulates his aggression/masculinity to work well with his partner.
This also has to do with the type of porn though. If I'm over here watching Japanese gravure models, UK lad's entertainment models, or just 'bikini haul' videos on Youtube, and next door, some guy's watching gang bangs, BDSM, fake-titty chicks getting banged by dudes on Viagra, and going "You know? Porn is a problem. I think everyone should give up porn." Hmm... well counter point here: "Maybe your porn is a problem- namely, your problem, and you should give up your porn if you feel that way."
Don’t fall into the SJW mindset of overthinking relatively simple situations in order to find justifications for behaviors. It’s much healthier (and more masculine) to instead try to identify the fundamental empirical situation and work from there to try to deduce if a certain behavior is rational and beneficial or not.
That idea using porn as an example would be like this: The only reason we watch porn and masturbate so often these days is because it’s easy to access. Your ancestors, for thousands of years, lived perfectly happy lives without easy access to porn. It shouldn’t be a big deal at all to cut out porn, given that you come from a long line of successful men who also did not watch the stuff.
Lol... just a quick anecdote but... during my field research, I've run across no shortage of antique dealers with centuries-old highly explicit erotic art/pornography (America- yes, but much older items were found when I was abroad in Nepal, China, Japan, etc.). I didn't purchase any of these because, for starters, they are quite expensive, but they also aren't related to my area of study. Anyhow, back on topic, if your life is better for not having any porn whatsoever, then all the more power to you. Let's not kid ourselves about our ancestors not having porn though. They did. So do I. Other people's addiction to porn isn't my burden. But by all means, no nut November for whoever wants or needs it.
Yup porn is the issue. People who watch it regularly and jerk off regularly dont watch the same stuff now as when they started porning/jerking. Or maybe its just me lol

I think one of the biggest things with masturbation is the porn use. Excessive porn is the real problem
I don't always watch porn, but when l do I only watch lesbian porn. No idea why a straight guy would want to watch another guy fucking.
Based
unless it was OP with his wife
To be honest I've seen enough dick pics with that meth head.
I for damn sure don't want to watch myself.
Same lol.
Same lol.

our ancestors lived fine without electricit, medicine, cars, fuel, Trump, etc as well

That makes sense. Unfortunately I think it doesn’t work the same way for women. Less masturbation = less desire.
