Found a weird solution to my stutter

Found a weird solution to my stutter Hey I’ve been stuttering since my early teenage years, with ups and downs. My stutter was sudden and just kind of appeared out of the blue. At first it was uncontrollable and every day was a bad day in terms of my stutter. Somewhere along the line it got better, but I wasn’t stutter free at all. My stutter is mostly very mild and therefore no one really notices it. On my “good” days i feel like the champ and are so happy. But the bad days really hinder me on so many levels, and my self-esteem is extremely low. I’ve always been in search of a correlation between my stutter and something I do. I’ve never really been able to find a clear correlation until now. I know this may sound weird, but ever since I started masturbating and watching porn I’ve stuttered (hence my stuttering beginning in my teenage years). Every now and then I take some periods of time where i don’t masturbate, watch porn or any of that, and every time i’m almost stutter free. Unfortunately I always relapse after a short period of time and therefore my stutter never really gets better. I’m just saying that a week without doing what’s mentioned above, my stutter is 99% gone. I’m fully determined to completely stop from now on to see if this can truly kill my stutter. I hope this helps some of you. Best regards fellow stutterers. P.S nobody cares that you stumble on a few words, and fluency in your speech isn’t as important as the content of your speech. But either way it bothers us.
