Well, this is very personal and I feel since i am pretty anonymous i can talk about this.

I have masturbated since i was 15, everyday at least, up to 3 times a day. the longest i had gone without doing this was like ,2-3 days. That \'addiction\' continued to dec. 30th (i am 18 now) when i made a new years resolution to quit until college resumed on jan. 6th.

I want to do an experiment to see if masturbation has made me shy and withdrawn. I think this could be a possibility and its been 3 days... one side effect i am noticing is depression, and slight anxiety, more than usual. I usually do get those though.

I also am wondering if masturbation has stunted my physical growth... i am 18 and look 16, physically too (hair growth), maybe younger.

But, I have smoked pot occasionally during ages 15-now, so maybe that has something to do with it. I doubt that, though.

I also wonder if masturbation lowers or raises testosterone?

Thanks in advance for informative replys.
