So i just quit porn cold turkey because (long story short) a relationship with my best friend whom i want to date in the future, and decided to take all the steps to improve myself and become a better option for her to date in the future if she's ready. Basically i had been watching porn and masturbating 2-3 times a day and i just realized that "hey i don't see my future with anyone but her, so I really gotta fix myself and quit porn" so i just randomly stopped and told her that i had quit, and she was happy for me.

Now when it comes to urges, i honestly haven't felt the urge to watch it in the past few days after i told her i quit, and don't think I'll get the urge in the future. However, i do wonder if i should keep masturbating by itself for health reasons (like flushing the semen for prostate health) or if it doesn't really matter. I don't necessarily have a strong urge to masturbate either just like not having the urge to watch porn. and when i try without porn or smut, it's just sort of hard to get off without the mental situation.

So i believe I could very well just go without masturbating as a whole (at least very frequently) along with quitting porn... Unless i should for health reasons. Just wondering, thanks again for reading
