Anyone else feel like too much masturbation affects their motivation to draw? I noticed when I do my regular routine of fap, I can't maintain focus, and don't have the will/motivation to continue drawing something. I always half ass everything. But when I stop fapping for a while, I can actually sit down and complete something without getting anxious/ unfocused

Wow nigga are you me?
It doesn't help that my refs folder is 99% porn.
>>2549348
>anxious and distracted whenever I try to draw
>fap several times a day
you're gonna make me abstain, aren't you
I'm gonna be mad as shit if I spend a week taking an extra hour to get to sleep because of an uncomfortable boner and I'm not any more focused
I'm the opposite. After I fap I get the energy to have a 2-3 hour session. Then again, I'm LMAO3MONTH.

You gonna nothing to lose except your time if you abstain
I've started getting up a bit earlier and doing my drawing earlier in the morning, before other things.
If you read up on ego depletion it's an interesting phenomenon. Every decision you make throughout your day reduces some of your willpower and motivation, so the earlier in your day you start (after a good night's sleep and a good breakfast) the better focused you'll be.
Then when I'm done my drawing and other activities like work, if I want to fap I'll fap, or whatever other shit I want to do.
yeah. even worse now that i got my rift im watching vr porn 24/7

I'm the opposite, sometimes I can't focus or finish a thing and I get nervous and jittery and like I had too much caffeine. A quick fap and I'm back to normal.

me too anon. gonna try and be a fapstronaut for the next 2 weeks and see how it goes

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and there's probably other reasons for your problems.
If you never masturbate, you're always horny and thinking about masturbating, thus making you less focus and anxious.
Stop with this anti fap propaganda, it's 2016

It makes perfect sense you insecure idiot. If you are conditioned to masturbate all the time then its like a drug addiction. Your body craves the dopamine rush produced from it and depriving yourself of that release is going to have negative side effects on your concentration. Its also been proven that too much masturbation causes depression once you are done so you keep doing it to make yourself feel better. You have to break yourself of the addiction to be more productive.

I was the same anon, i fixed it by stopping fapping for a week (was really fucking hard to focus with constant boners in the last few days) and buying an onahole, now i do it once every 2/3 days and take my time doing it and it feels way better, i think the most important part is to set some time for yourself and stick to it, not dropping it
Masturbation is the cheat code to life.
Imagine if we couldn't masturbate so easily.
Our drive to get laid would be so much greater.
If we had greater sex drive, we would do more things to impress the ladies. Whatever form of self improvement it is, art included, we'd be more motivated to do it more just so we could more easily empty our balls into some slut.

I hope you find love some day :(

dont masturbate dude.
I feel like when I'm horny I focus harder on female figures, but I think it just depends on the person. Ejaculation releases endorphins and lowers blood pressure, if that kinda thing helps you when you're working then go for it.
Yeah but I usually fab only before bed so its not that big of a problem. I also can't work after eating well(so that I'm full). There is probably something biological about that when you've satisfied your basic needs you don't have the motivation to do the stuff you are supposed to but isn't all that fun.
Like lion isn't going to hunt even for fun when it has eaten itself full.
I don't know just my dumb thoughts about it
>>2550184
When you've eaten a lot your body uses more energy for breaking down all that food and less energy for thinking.
i fap maybe 2-3 times a week, but when i do, i spend 3-4 hours edging. it's good shit, but feels like such a waste of time. i go in thinking i'll bust one out in a few minutes, but almost always get sucked into a marathon
Sounds like you need some discipline, OP.
>>2549348
I agree, I lose all motivation for anything after a fap
My advice: fap a lot in the morning and before bed, won't have much desire to do it mid-day when practicing
>>2550225
yep, same.
>>2549348
not enough masturbation is usually the problem.
there's no such thing as too much sexual drive
use fapping as part of a sex-magic ritual for increasing your motivation to draw

i fap 10 times a day, every day. have been doing that since i was 12. has not given me ED, nor has it hurt my experiences with women in the slightest. if anything it actually helps because i last forever.
it does make me a bit lethargic though. but i do art, a bit of hedonism can't hurt too bad.
>>2550606
more than twice per day and my dick is raw how even
>>2549780
Actually, there's a lot that goes on in an orgasm, so I'd say the OP is very much right.
I've seen mention of this in many places too, so I feel inclined to believe it has some effect on some people.
I did a no fap challenge and the first week I kept waking up with the hardest boner and the urge to fap while swearing constantly. My heart would be racing and id be thinking about ass and titties. it really is like being addicted to drugs if you are used to doing it every single day.
>>2550606
>I fap 10 times a day
Dubious.
I fap before bed.
