I don't want to sound like I'm old cause I'm not (I'm 31).
But every year that passes by, the more and more testosterone you will lose. The less and less you'll think about jerking off. The less and less you'll be capable of jerking off. Nature will turn off that switch when its ready. And before you know it, you'll be 60 years old sitting in a rocking chair looking at pictures of naked women and
wishing you could get a boner. You'll sit there playing with your wrinkly old dick and cry over the fact that you can't get hard.
So if you're still young, I would NOT stop masturbation for a year. Its much more important to try controlling it. There was a time when I use to beat off 3-6 times a day (I was taking steroids / testosterone) and that destroyed my dick. Then I got off the juice and my test crashed, I didn't jerk off for 6 months straight and had to take pills just to get my natural testosterone back.
But I'll tell you one thing, losing the ability to get hard, losing 100% of your libido is a VERY SCARY thing. Doctors told me I might have to go on TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) for the rest of my life just because I didn't jump off cycle early enough and crashed my testes.
But once I got the ability to beat off again, man you have no idea what a relief that was.

It had nothing to do with the feeling... but just knowing that my testes weren't completely fucked up.
With that said, I'm only 31 and already noticing symptoms of decreased libido. I look at attractive women and its NOTHING like it use to be. I miss that feeling. I still go to the gym everyday to try and keep my natural testosterone from plummeting. And I'd give anything to get a boner everyday. In another 10 years I will likely have to go on testosterone therapy cause I'll have the sex drive of a 60 year old man. I get my test tested twice a year and its far below the level it should be for my age.
So any guys who think jerking off is a bad thing. Think about what it would feel like if you couldn't jerk off at all. Don't make radical decisions and think you have to stop for 1 year to get your life in order. When you get older you're gonna WISH you could get that 1 year back. If you are really hypersexualized, then get on ssris or something. They will make your jerk off less without fucking up your testosterone for life.
