I wanted to talk about what has improved my memory the most : abstaining from masturbation & pornography. I can’t believe how much better my memory has become thanks to that.
Actually … from what I’ve read …
(I’ve been following Anthony Metivier for some time now (books and audio courses)
relaxing is the key to true focusing when it comes to memorization.
I must add me wee video “Tor Hershman’s Amazing Grace.”
The first YouTube version done got moi listed @ The Library Of Congress’ web-site for ANYONE that ever recorded “Amazing Grace.”
I Email TLOC and told those folks that me wee version AiN’T anything like the original.
Me listing vanished…however…no Thank You came from TLOC for correcting the mislabeling.
Sadly, the more porn you have in your memory palaces, the more memorable it is (Gandalf fellated Saruman on an airplain in front of e.g. your old classmates, try to forget that!).
As far as I know there is no evidence that masturbating affects mental or physical health. The fact is that your testosterone level increases (because you don’t bang it out). There is a possibility that after a while you get so horny that concentrating on mnemostuff is hard.
But if you say prohibiting masturbation (and sex?) helps you, then probably it it’s opposite to what I just said: you prohibit yourself thinking of porn and can now fully concentrate on your studies.
