The question that began this post was by a guy who asked:
"have any males here practiced restraint from too frequent of ejaculation for enhanced motivation, vitality, concentration, energy, etc?

This is an absolutely fascinating and relevant site the more I dwell into it, here goes my problem (perhaps this has been discussed earlier): Over the last couple years I've been trying to cut down masturbating->orgasm because I sense I'm too vulnerable to the dopamine roller-coaster and basically wanna 'save my semen' (yeah, I'm male) for finding me a partner and practise exercising on a higher level. Years ago I would orgasm 2-3 times a week, and now I'm down to once every 7-12 days or so for now.
