Myth 3 is most interesting. The problem with the claim is that it implies that masturbation is somehow "junk food" in a way that sex isn't. Most people I know would suggest the opposite: sex is preferable to masturbation, which is a poor substitute.
Furthermore, the evidence that it is bad consists of two anecdotes, one from a true addict (which is a problem), and one from a man who stopped for less than two weeks.
As far as quitting goes, the trouble is that there is no reason aside from willpower in most cases. You save (at most) half an hour or so, during which you probably wouldn't have done anything anyway. What you get in return is orneriness and frustration.
Remember: people have sex drives. They aren't bad. Fulfilling them isn't bad either. Just keep it in moderation if it starts to interfere with life.
Also: without porn, where would the internet be?

- Raphael 18y agoNot junk food in the sense of more desirable, but a less healthful form of calories.
- likpok 18y agoBut that implies that it's unhealthy, which it isn't. Hell, there's research to show that common ejaculation is helpful in preventing prostate cancer. The only problem is when you let it affect your life. And you reach a problem with extremely high levels - I wouldn't call twice a day a problem. Masturbation fulfills a need. It allows you to moderate your sex drive. If you're with someone who only gets off once a week, so be it. If you want more, it's an easy problem to fix. Men, in general, aren't monogamous. We are hardwired into looking, and masturbation can help to keep it at that.
- Raphael 18y agoDude, examine the metaphor more closely. Everyone knows that junk food is healthier than starvation.
