What Happens if You Masturbate 10 times or Less a Month

Have you ever wondered what really happens if you limit yourself to masturbating just 10 times or less a month? It’s not about shaming pleasure—it’s about exploring how moderation can reset your dopamine, sharpen your focus, and help you reconnect with real-life intimacy without losing the mental and physical perks of healthy self-pleasure. Cutting back doesn’t mean quitting; it means choosing quality over compulsion and tuning into your body’s real needs instead of automatic habits. Could dialing it back be your sweet spot between satisfaction and self-control? If you tried this, what do you think you’d notice first—more energy, clearer mind, or just better sleep?
