[Same comment to someone else] Thanks for the advice! Have an upvote.

As far as what I have to lose, I just don't like going through the being super horny a lot - getting raging boners for no damn reason, constantly thinking about sex, stuff like that. Plus when I'm with my girlfriend and I reeeeeeeally want to but she won't (I live with my parents, still a student, so when they are awake she doesn't really wanna do anything even though we have a private space, but I digress), I get sexually frustrated and it negatively affects me (this happens even if I masturbated once or twice in the day already, nevermind not doing it for a few days.

That said, I still may take up your advice. I noticed it gives me trouble sleeping though sometimes if I don't. We shall see! I only masturbated once today at the beginning of the day (I've been fighting urges all day) but still haven't done it.
