I'm in the same boat as Twins172, my girl is living 4 hours away, so we don't get to see each other as much as we used to...so I'm constantly having to remind myself that I don't need sex in order to be happy. I was so used to being able to have sex whenever I wanted it that to suddenly have to go without for a month or two at a time is a huge adjustment... but I'll make due. And it just makes the times that we do get to see each other that much more intense and memorable.
As for the guy who started this topic, don't worry about it. Everyone goes through a phase like this, I think it's more related to the fact that you're not wanting to pursue women and put in the work to have sex with them, am I correct? I mean, why chase women all over the place and fork over your hard earned csh for dates when you can satisfy yourself sexually for free?
Believe me though, when I say that once you get a steady supply of pussy you're going to love it a hell of a lot more than masturbation. While it's a bitch to finally get a girl to drop her pants and spread her legs for you, it's worth it in the end. And if you're over 8", the responses you're going to get from girls when you drop your drawers is gonna be enough to make you want to do nothing but try and get laid by different girls on a daily basis.
Seeing a girl's eyes bug out when you drop your pants is the ultimate power trip.
