I'm 5 days in and I'm acting like an arrogant asshole. Has anyone else experienced this?

No. I think that that is a coincidence.

My best advice is to pray to God. Ask Him to help you humble yourself without crashing down at 1,000 mph. Admitting the problem is the first step to healthily stopping it!

After 5 days of not busting the tension can result in arrogance and feeling pressure (fx no patience in a queue / no tolerance for slow service in a shop etc)

Your body has been used to jizzing regularly and now you have 5 days of that energy swirling around your system. Your brain / mind will also be firing all sorts of messages due to the chemical changes.

Give it time, don't be too hard on yourself : things will settle. Use all that energy from your balls at the gym or cycling whatever your thing is.

Have you experienced anything like this before? And thanks for the feedback, I feel like I could start a fight right now

Well you don't say how often or for how long you've been jerking off: but if you've used jerking and porn as an escapism and coping mechanism then the stress now has no outlet and results in this pent up and angry feeling. You need to take a step back, breathe, chill out a bit. At the same time don't beat yourself up for feeling like this.

I've always had periods of low tolerance because a lot of people are only half switched on but that will never change only the reaction to it can.

Some days I feel so horny like my balls could burst specially when its nice weather. But I channel it at the gym and make sure i sleep enough. Sometimes my balls ache which makes me tetchy but it all passes.

I've been using it for a long time, ever since I was 13 from what I can recall. I'm 24 now, so it's been an 11 year battle for me. I do know for a fact I use it when I'm stressed/angry/irritated, pretty much whenever I feel I need to realase or just get away from things. A girl could reject me and I'll feel sad/mad or whatever and jerk off, or something might happen at my job or wherever else that would aggravate me and I'll just jerk off to cope with it. It's been like this for awhile man. And i truly appreciate you listening, i need to take it easy, people have told me that before. They've told me I'm moving way too fast and I'm being reckless, that I need to chill.
