How long should i go without masturbation?

And I mean healthy masturbation without fantasy. I've gone 17 days without PMO and MO. Staying away from porn is easy. Fapping...is a different story

I understand that my reboot will take longer than others since I started with porn at 14 and have been addicted since then(I'm 18 now). Porn pretty much ruined my social life with social anxiety and depression. I don't think I have any kind of PIED, just...issues with my brain

From what i can tell, porn is the problem, not masturbation(though i do plan to cut down on it when this is over). I'm willing to go a month at least without masturbation. How long do you recommend?

As long as you can go, an initial 1-6 month streak of no orgasm seems to be very beneficial. I'm willing to bet the longer without masturbation the better, at least to a certain extent (I can't imagine more than 6 months no orgasm being necessary). As long as you're not watching porn and masturbating infrequently (0 to 2 times per month) you should recover.

Just think about it this way
- NO PORN EVER
- The less masturbation, the faster the results

In my personal opinion, the first initial period without orgasm after quitting porn should last at least 8 weeks. Most people shoot for some arbitrary amount of days - 60 days, 90 days, 120 days - and all of this is good! You should decide what works for you. OSS is right, anything over 6 months of complete no orgasm might be a little overkill.

If I had to guess, I'd say the average time people choose to go without orgasm is the standard (and arbitrary) 90 days. But again, it's ultimately up to you to decide!
