However, before AM, SM, and WM I would do it and I thought it caused depression and anxiety afterwards. But to me, this also caused it because I didn't have confidence, had social anxiety, and was easily swayed by my mood swings. Now I can do it without any affects that I know of, so I don't really care either way. I feel more stable now though.
There are a lot of people out there that believe it has bad affects and they also believe their are withdrawal symptoms when you don't do it. I just don't think it's that big of a deal, it's a normal occurrence and even doctors recommend it because it reduces prostate cancer. Think of it like exercise instead, lol.

Does masturbation increase dopamine and serotone - or reduce it?
Religion tried to ban masturbation. Was that to force humans to get married and have proper sex ( a gift to their spouse) if they wanted sexual release?
Does sex weaken you, or make you love your partner more?
Hope you don't mind giving a man's perspective on this, as us women don't know what is going on in men's heads unless we find a man willing to tell us?
