TIFU after masturbating for 6 years straight

Hello, I am a pornographic and masturbation addict and the death grip is very real.

I believe I am a extreme case as I've masturbated a minimum once a day but mostly twice for 12 years straight, through relationships and all, I'm 30.

My worst days was 3-4 hours of pornographics and 5+ ejaculations, my record was 8 times in a day, so my total are way above 10,000 times in the past 12 years.

There are so many side effects doctors won't tell you that I've lived through. The first one obviously are you won't have as good time with the ladies as you could.

Secondly you get tired, to the extreme. Depression kicks in, as well as lowering your testosterone, which doctors say isn't true but I've taken many testosterone tests the past 5 years and it's very low when I've spent alot of times slapping the chicken around. And after 8 years I started to have issues with constipation, which also is something doctors ignore but semen production takes alot of energy & water so it makes sense.

I recently (2 weeks ago) had a foley catheter for 4 weeks due to injury, I obviously couldn't fap and during these 4 weeks my life was amazing, even with the foley. I got energy, wasn't depressed, I could take proper shits first time in years and I even got my morning wood back first time in many many years.

I'm back to the struggle now. But I'm working on quitting.

What I wanna say is, if you can, quit porn, quit masturbation, quit it all its a male trap that doctors won't tell you about.

Hope I helped in some way.
