Have any authors remarked on the effects of fapping/sex or lack thereof on the quality of their output? Is there a consensus about the advantages and disadvantages of both? Does withholding gratification give your writing more drive and ambition, or does letting off steam put you in a calmer, looser state that allows you to feel more freed up? Asking for a friend.

my diary desu
One time when I was super-religious in middle school I was convinced that my guardian angel was watching me masturbate and was disappointed whenever he saw me do so. I managed to not fap for two weeks but finally gave in when the tension and stress of school became too much. Honestly the best fucking fap of my life, felt so fucking good.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 30 13:25:21 2017 No.10468637 >>10466298 It's basic psychology. Sex is the carrot. Not having sex is the stick. I don't think it is anyway supernaturally effective. But it is just an easy way to motivate yourself.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 30 22:37:31 2017 No.10470987 >>10468979 I don't think anyone said that. It's a legitimate question people seem to go both ways on, with no clear answer.
