positive effects:
>more motivation>more confidence>more self-disciplinewhat a lot of people don't get is that discipline feeds into discipline, and lack of discipline feeds into lack of discipline. so little acts of discipline, consistently over-time can lead to big changes in your life. anyways, now that i've named the general benefits, here are all the specific ones:
>alcoholic for a decade, quit drinking>always talked about writing but never did, wrote a novel>always had ideas for starting a business but never did, incorporated last week>working out more consistently, better physique>upped my game in the kitchen, learned a bunch of new techniques, bought a smoker>have a garden with fresh herbs and veg i use in my cooking>better wardrobe, better physical presentation overall>meditating frequently>read more books>health metrics all greati probably can't put all of this just on quitting jerking off, and in my opinion the bigger impact is from not watching porn. porn is spiritual poison, and it creates a sense of shame that causes more and more self-destructive behaviour even if you don't acknowledge it, and also it makes you come across as creepy to women, even if you're unaware of it. you might have enough charisma to overcome it, but you'd have even more if you didn't have the porn monkey on your back.
