What do you think about masturbation?

As a single man who is pretty socially isolated and has been for a long time. I struggle with sexual release. I find if I do masturbate then it greatly effects my state of mind in a negative way with regard to getting things done and living a meaningful, productive life. If I don't masterbate then I find myself distracted by my lack of sexual release. Ocassional sex with a wife or girlfriend would be the best solution but that is not something that is readily available right now. In the past I looked at a lot of porn on mainstream sites like porn hub but now in my 30s I seem to have grown out of it. Using in person sex workers has its own set of moral, health, legal and most important for me, financial negatives. Anyway I identify as schizoid personality disorder (wikipedia has a page). Basically an extreme introvert. But I am still human and have physical sexual needs that are not well met through masturbation.

I am wondering if there are similar nerdy loners and how they deal with it better than me?

I do not identify as incel at all. I think they are pathetic from what I have seen online.

So my question is does masturbation impair your productivity?

How do you deal with physical sexual release needs in a better way that has less of a negative impact on your life?
