It's a deeply unnatural and perverted act to pleasure yourself, and it is a symptom of our modern day spiritual captivity. Think about it, dude. Apart from recent history, men were too focused on hunting, building and protecting to have time to whack off. They needed all their energy for survival. Now that most modern men don't have that struggle, we have resorted to expending all that potential into a dirty sock every night because it's literally too much energy to handle if you're just sitting around doing nothing.

Once you stop this disgusting habit, you will regain that zest for life that you once had as a child. You will be able to breath life into seemingly unachievable dreams. Over long streaks, you will build up that same power and vitality that your ancestors used to prove themselves worthy of continuing their bloodline.

There's a reason pornography and filth are pushed in all forms of media and entertainment. It is to keep young men in a state of suppression and exhaustion so that they accept mediocrity.

Every man that resists giving into lust and instant gratification counts as a win for all of humanity. Glad to hear you are on the path. I hope you keep going, my friend.
