Been going good for a week, and I want some info if I should even be masturbating, I know it’s healthy in moderation. But could someone explain to me, I should be quitting porn, not just masturbation. Everyone on here is amazing striving to become better version of yourselves, stay strong and please let me know. And what’s a good moderation, I’m trying to teach myself that masturbation is good, but porn is where it draws the line.
Oh and also congrats on the week! Me too!
It’s really personal preference. Should is relative. If your goal is to quit both then you should be abstaining from masturbation as well, but if it isn’t then in moderation it’s healthy for sure. For me, I’ve chosen to do both. 1) because my masturbation is habitual as well and something I want to break 2) because I want to reset my body and this includes sexual function 3) because for me, during this period of heightened urges both for masturbation and explicit material, I worry that one will lead to the other if I am not diligent. Only you can decide if it’s important for you, but I hope this is helpful.
I would say try to quit both because even if you are quitting porn but still masturbating it can still lead you back to it !!

I’d say the porn is the harmful stuff. Men have jacked it since time immemorial! Easier to do one than both maybe?
