Nobody cares about it, but I've been a straight-edge for 35 years and counting. No drugs, no booze, not even cranking the hog. On the other hand though, I can't afford anything fun anyways, neither on money, time, or the less-known ethical implications (haven't been able to watch a movie in years, for instance)
Congratulations for the no drugs no booze.
I recommend adding in some masturbation though, clearing out old sperm is a good thing overall. Just don't death grip and don't use porn. Your imagination is usually enough for most folks.
Not sure if it's a good idea to start at this point in life, especially since I have no friends, no prospect of dating in the short to middle term, and a carefully curated life to avoid the libido from making things worse for my loneliness.
