I don't know why this is down-voted, the page seems pretty solid, even including an interesting academic article: "Men Ejaculate Larger Volumes of Semen, More Motile Sperm, and More Quickly when Exposed to Images of Novel Women (2015)"https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs40806-015-0022-...

Also be aware that it does not condemn masturbation (which IIRC is healthy), but rather masturbation _for hours_ kept alive by watching endless variety of internet porn, which seems to cause erectile dysfunction.

The process bears a conceptual resemblance to exposure to more novel and avant-garde art. Such thing changes one's tastes to value even more novelty at the expense of traditional aesthetic, causing the "modern art" that people exposed to less novelty dislike or mock.
