Why the "or"? There's a lot of peoples who are stressed on daily basis...

To boost testosterone.

I can't imagine how you can jerk if you're stressed and worried about something. I just won't focus.

I can't get off if I'm stressed usually. It takes effort and some concentration, but if the mood is right I can get off to sleep well. It's nice to bask in the warm fuzzies.

Doing it daily decreases the pleasure, better letter it simmer for a while and then let it erupt.

Scientifically speaking masturbation is good for you or at the very least, relieve stress, reduce anxiety and improve your mood.

Scientifically speaking masturbation is good for you or at the very least, relieve stress, reduce anxiety and improve your mood.

But, as with a lot of things, isn't good in excess. Too much quick dopamine highs can lead to depression. Everything in moderation.

Depends, are you doing the act because you are getting horny? Or doing it because you are bored and cannot do anything else better?

both

both

If horny, it would be good stress relief, if doing it outta boredom you'll notice post nut clarity you're doing it because you have nothing better to do, depends on the state of mind and content you consume it might actually make you more stressful.

Hmmm, if you were in a plane that was about to crash would it help you feel better.... probably not. At best you could call it a distraction.

God is merciful after all. He gave a man the opportunity to masturbate and commit suicide.

these days, every time i fap i end up feeling this deep regret and sadness. maybe it's cause my life isn't really going how i thought it would or maybe it's the stuff i consume. but tbh w/ you, it feels like it's all on me. there's so much i should be doing, so many things i want to do, but i just don't. even when i try, it feels like i hit a wall. and instead of pushing through, i take the easy way out, and somehow that always leads me back here. fapping, then feeling empty and heartbroken right after. it's like a loop i can't break out of

today, i rewatched harry potter for the first time in like ten years. it hit hard. so many old memories came back, good and bad both. and then, not long after, i fapped again. and now it just hurts even more. it’s like everything i’ve been trying to ignore came rushing back all at once. all the regrets, the wasted time, the things i wish i'd done differently. i don’t even want to feel like this, but for some reason my mind keeps going back to it. like it craves the comfort, even though it leaves me more broken every time. also, today’s my b'day. i just hit my early 20s. and yet, here i am... still acting like a manchild

Its called realizing you are now an adult, nothing to do with pastimes. Millencolin had a song '22 feeling blue', maybe try that out - its a pretty common 'holy shit' part of life.
