I am older, and have not found any of that to be true. As a lady, more makes more; more sex makes sex feel better and it’s easier to get off, and sexual frustration does not make me creative at all, just distracted and frustrated.

There is also physical benefit to sex for older women, I don’t know if it’s the same for younger, but certainly after menopause sex prevents vaginal atrophy and prolapse of internal organs, it’s sort of a use it or lose it situation. Penetration and orgasms are good for muscle tone, apparently. Beyond the obvious benefits of pleasure and relationship building.

What evidence are you basing the idea that your drive comes from your libido? There are a lot of people out there with low or no libidos who have accomplished a ton.

Why are you focusing on libido as the source of creativity to the exclusion of a lot of other potential drivers?

This is what I am saying: the focus seems odd and creepy without lots of evidence for your reasoning.

I’m a man so maybe it’s different but having tried both, that certainly isn’t the case for me. Without sexual release I just want to cum. It doesn’t inspire me to do anything else that won’t move me towards that goal. Maybe if masturbation were impossible it would be a different story but as it stands the only purpose being frustrated serves is to distract me from non-sexual tasks. Being lonely on the other hand does inspire me to go out and do things and maintain relationships but it’s not for sex. If I’m frustrated in that regard I’d rather just stay home and jerk off. That’s a sure thing rather than the incredibly low chance I’ll meet someone that wants to fuck me right away.

Then IMO follow what makes you feel right. In general just avoid taking things to extremes.

That same idea can get you into bad relationships. It’s better to find a partner with a level head.

Beliefs shape the way we feel. There’s no biological reason to feel lonely after masturbation. That’s all pseudoscience bollocks. Female orgasms cause a peak of neural activation, if anything, you should feel more active and hungry to go face the world. But the point is that this changes or differences that are usually quoted by charlatans from neurological studies, while significant, are so tiny as to not be an actual factor at an individual level.

Humans are also bad at correctly discerning causation and correlation, specially within their own emotional experience. Thus why therapy works, it’s a third party that can more objectively call out your contradictions and point out causes.

Now I would gather you believe that masturbation is something awful lonely people do and that’s why you feel lonely when you masturbate. This doesn’t mean there’s anything inherently wrong with you. However, most people ignore that most of our worldviews, and beliefs we take for granted are actually cemented in childhood experiences, not always traumatic. But they do build the foundations of our personalities.

It’s perfectly possible to masturbate then go out into the world with hunger and ambition. Most people do.

You’re a woman who wants to “NoFap”?

Having never looked into it, beyond what I come across occasionally on sites like this, I always assumed the idea was that being desperate for “relief” somehow made them more attractive to women, hormonally, or made them more “alpha”? Somehow.

Really stupid shit that kids fall for, I guess.

Mechanical isn’t the only part being played. There’s hormones too. I’m positive there’s differences there depending on alone or with someone. Whether or not that has any health implications I’ve no idea.

Do you know what gymnastics is? It’s doing a bunch of flips & tumbles to get from point A to point B instead of just walking there, sometimes going the opposite direction and ending up back where you started, or in a completely different place.

Mental gymnastics is when you read something that’s pretty straightforward but your brain goes & unravels it & turns it inside out & upside down & comes up with an entirely different idea than what was presented. Sometimes it’s necessary to do that which is called critical thinking, but sometimes it’s unnecessary to do that and that’s what you did here. Because everything I said was straightforward, I am not creative enough to tell lies.
