I started fixing my death grip a month ago, what should I do now? /u/UsualThroat6603 Sex

Hey guys,

I’ve had death grip since I started masterbating. I’ve had 3 sexual encounters with women since 2021 and I had a problem with each girl when it came to climaxing/keeping it hard. I, however, decided this holiday period was going to be when I tried fixing it due to liking a new girl and being away from college for while. I felt it was the perfect time to.

Since the start of break (basically a month ago), I limited my view of porn (although sometimes something will pop up on my feed and I’ll just press hide/block) and I completely stopped masterbating and touching my groin area except for when I was washing.

My question is, now that I’m going back to college in like a week. What should my game plan be? I have been told mixed opinions on masterbation as some said I should keep restraining and some saying I should do it once every week or so but with a much lighter tougher with lubricant. Some also mentioned the use of a flashlight. The last thing I was to do is get back into old habits and ruin all the progress I made so far, I’m pretty sure this is the longest time I haven’t masterbated ever.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated, even if not directly related to what I mentioned. Thanks and Happy New Year!

TL;DR: Stopped porn and masturbation for a month to fix “death grip” and sexual performance issues. Heading back to college, unsure if I should continue abstaining, try light masturbation with lube, or use a flashlight. Need tips to maintain progress and avoid old habits.
