I'm not a "Fapstronaut" (yet), but I was wondering if any of you had experiences of either trying to wean off of masturbation, like going from once a day to every other day to once a week etc., or going cold turkey and deciding to stop and that's it.

Ideally, I'd be interested in hearing from those who have tried both - either you tried weaning yourself off but could never fully get rid of it or cutting it cold turkey but realizing that would be too far a jump at once and only after weaning yourself off you were successful.

I'd be interested in hearing what about one of them you found difficult such that it became unfeasible and what you think made the other method more successful.

Also, unrelated, but curious, do you see masturbation or porn as the root issue. Like, if we all used our imaginations instead of porn would that still be bad or is any masturbation not good. If the latter, why?
