Not of the eyes, because I may have sinned with them without realising it, but of the flesh, no self-pleasure, neither with someone. This change made me a different person, I don't feel that much shame when I pray, neither when I share emotions with others. I don't suffer anymore from zooning out, like an out-of-body experience. Anxiety went down significantly which allows me now to eat more foods than before without suffering brain fog. I don't get jittery from coffee that easily.
One of the big things was shame. Because it drastically decreased it, I can connect easier with kids and I feel like my power of word has gotten stronger. Now, what I say, I'm not afraid of being wrong or indecisive. I speak more truth than before. Things come out of my mouth more smoothly. It's not that I became a guru or saint, but the differences are remarkable. The stuttering I usually have now doesn't bother me. I can finally speak with my best friend for an hour, before, because of my shame, I was experiencing depersonalization/derealization with a blank mind which made me impossible to connect.
What motivated me to make a change is that I felt like Christ was looking at me while I was doing it and the shame afterwards was hard. One priest said that when we do it, we're actually making a liturghy to Satan, which I agree. There's nothing holy about self-pleasure.
