I’ve noticed a variety of opinions about masturbation within our community, and I’m particularly interested in hearing your thoughts on the practice when it's done without the use of pornography.

In my experience it leads right back to porn especially at such an early stage ie under 90 days, brain is not rewired and masturbation will only partially satisfy the craving
I personally think that it doesn’t straight up negatively affect you, BUT it can lead to other problems that will slow you down in your healing process. One of the problems is masturbation making you want to watch pornography since your brain usually does the two activities together. Another problem that can come from it is death grip, which is desensitizing your penis to only enjoy your hand and nothing else. Now these problems may not affect everyone but be weary of them.
