Why is it so fucking impossible for me to get into a relationship or have sex with someone?

"I masturbate 20+ times a week"

wank less, I personally think even once a day can be a bit much if you're single and want to get laid; masturbation can be healthy but in excess it will numb you to real sexuality, pornography will depict it in a very fictitious way that doesn't necessarily apply to real life, and with that much self-gratification you basically blue ball yourself, eliminating the effect sex drive has on how you socialize

you say you have a high sex drive, but you masturbate at the least 2 times a day instead of letting it be and guiding you towards something real. This might sound bullshit but i'm serious, you get into a subconscious habit of it because you know that 'even if you don't get laid' you can still get sexual gratification, so you don't actually perform in the real world in a way that leads towards things like flirting, relationships, sex, whatever, then you make yourself feel worthless for not getting it, feel as though you really want it, masturbate more, and fuel this cycle where you basically drill it into yourself that you're not really worth it, but you always have masturbation to fall back on to relieve a fundamental human desire

stop wanking for a while, or at least limit yourself to something like once a day for a while, maybe once every two days, you WILL notice a difference despite what everyone says about it being 'perfectly healthy'

it's like this, masturbation is perfectly healthy in the same way that sex is perfectly healthy, but replacing sex with excessive masturbation is not really that good for ya especially if you're seeking to express your sexuality in the real world with other people
