I actually do notice something definite. When I don't do anything sexually for a couple of days, I get both more aggressive and more confident. I feel less anxious over all (which I tend to notice, because I am a very anxious person normally). So, it is almost a positive thing for me to abstain - psychologically for the confidence improvement.
It could just be something related to feeling weird about self pleasure, but I think I am pretty used to it, and not really so self-conscious. I've even done it in front of my girlfriend before, so I don't think I'm too worried about it - and I've talked openly about masturbation before with my girlfriend too.
However, I think I get some kind of hormonal increase that relates to confidence and a feeling of manliness when I don't do anything sexual for a while. I've heard stories about boxers and athletes who would abstain from sex before an event..
