Question 4

how can i increase my motivation to get fit?

Accepted Answer

Don't wait for it!: Motivation is a word that lets you avoid doing. If youre serious get therapy and find out why youre avoiding things - i suspect there are other things. When you find out, you'll be able to decide and then you'll have better control of your life.
Psychotherapy is one way to work things out. There are others, but this one works if your goal is to really figure things out.

A good question, but: Not a medical - even in some ways not a psychological one. But, for the part that a psychologist might address, establish a good system for reinforcement. We tend to be motivated by rewards. A behavioral therapist can help."will" begins to sound almost religious. Perhaps a clergy person can help. Good luck.

Question 6

how long can you go without masturbation and will you notice an increase in motivation to find a partner?

No limit: There's  no requirement that you must masturbate at specific intervals.  Assuming you're a man (women rarely ask this kind of question), you will eventually have a nocturnal emission (wet dream) if you try to stretch this out longer than you testicles can tolerate.  Not ejaculating will definitely make you horny and "motivated, " but it may not be the best way to find someone to settle down with!
