Masturbation - Stop Touching Yourself

To be fair I think Berto was the first guy here to say "hey fags stop jerking off" and to have the general community of biters ride his nutsack, but at the time I was too busy to point out that Hitler's maniacal energy was probably contributed to by his lack of masturbation, which might have had something to do with one of his nuts getting blown off in the WWI. Hitler has only got one ball, and all that.

So far this video is super interesting. I think it's day 6 or 7 when your testosterone peaks.. so if you can get through the first week, you should be good (??)

As far as me... I've been dating a girl for 7 months now. We have crazy sex. And when we started getting crazy, it 'activated' something in me that made me jerk off way more than normal.

So I'll probably not be joining the case study. Hormones be flyin too high. Eh?

Read "Cupid's Poisoned Arrow" (or the authors' site at reuniting.info) to find out why this is often a bad sign.
 
Neither porn nor masturbation are conducive to healthy relationships or pro-social activity.

I'm cool with masturbation though. It alone doesn't fuck with me nearly as hard (evolutionary reasons).

WF is my most frequent cause of porn relapse.

OK just finished the video (ironically a sex session was in between).

What is a bad sign though? That I love sex and masturbation tons?

I'm fucken in.

My "porn" tastes as of late are not really bad, but the dopamine addiction talk really struck a nerve with me. It's the WAY I've been digging around for porn that has been dangerous. Click click click click click x1000
 
Ditto @ Moltar.

It's really dumbfounding how society as a whole thinks this is normal - maybe it is 'normal' but it sure as fuck isn't efficient when you weigh the pros & cons over time. I'm not even going to preach the pros, just try it and find out for yourself.

This is one of three things I've tried this year that made me think "Why the fuck didn't I do this before????"

protip: If you happen to get random boners like it's 7th grade, tame the beast by tensing up your leg and ab muscles for 30+ seconds.

Say what you will about the negative effects of porn and masturbation, it does have one positive effect- it maintains some balance in the male-female dynamic.

When a man wants to get off without fapping, a woman is his only outlet. She holds all the power in the relationship.

It turns guys who aren't aware of this power dynamic into lapdogs who end up spending half their time and paycheck trying to impress women instead of doing things they really want to.

I've always thought there was something wrong about that.

They're doing it wrong if that's how they get women.

That's the thing. Dopamine based activities are NEVER just one time deals that are manageable. Our entire novelty + scarcity based awareness is hardwired at the receptor level in our brains to require more more more more.

Combine a plethora of porn with your recent conquests, and you're hitting one hell of a prolactin and dopamine rollercoaster. The rebound effect sucks, and if you're going no-fap just be aware.

Once you can break it the first time it gets easier. I know it's cheesy but make a plan about what you're going to do if you want to masturbate, then stick to it.

After several times of controlling your desires you can see them from a more objective viewpoint and then ask yourself if they are really something that is good for you. Hit me up if you want to talk about it. Shit I sound like a monk or something.
 
I think a big problem is not just porn addiction, but anything that gives instant gratification, which raises dopamine levels:

Checking Facebook
Checking your Earnings/Stats/Adsense
Porn
Looking up Breaking News
Twitter Updates
Alcohol
Caffeine/Sugar
Video Games
etc

I've been experimenting over the last 2 weeks with trying to avoid anything that would give instant gratification and raise dopamine levels as much as possible. It's actually been pretty interesting. I've been more calm, less excitable, and focus has gone way up. It's still early, but I've noticed I've been slightly more productive. Still waiting to see what the effects will be a few more weeks from now.

You might as well stop living - NOW!. Simple things such as meeting with friends and family can increase dopamine levels. Lots of foods that are healthy help release dopamine, such banana's, nuts, eggs or any high protein foods for that matter. Throw in that exercise helps to increase dopamine levels and you are seriously fucked. On the negative side you could take up sugars and refined foods to decrease your dopamine levels...lmao.

No, what most people have to do (at least here apparently) is learn how to fucking control themselves; learn how to self regulate rather than say I'm hooked on the high feeling that makes me do it and that's the reason I do what I do.

But doing that would require self awareness and the ability to take responsibility for your actions, most people don't want to do that.
 
I have been saying it since the first time I came here.

Totally agree with this. Free Internet porn didn't emerge until I was well into my twenties. I spent five years addicted to the shit -- and after getting away from it for a few years, I'll tell anyone who'll listen that you're wasting your life.

It fucks with your head and makes you get stupid; spending all your time wanking it online. Not to mention that a real woman just isn't the same if your wanking it to crazy porn with chicks doing things that most average girls won't do unless you marry them.

My hard drive crashed after years of crazy porn and Windoze viruses -- best thing that ever happened to me: I detoxed before getting back online and started approaching real girls once my balls grew back to their natural size.

Shit is no joke.
 
posing "porn addiction" as a real medical condition is a testament to the degeneracy of this society. if you want to watch porn, watch porn. if you want to quit watching porn, quit watching porn. man up. its not that difficult? kind of funny though that the same guys who make fun of people who cant quit feasting themselves to death whine about their porn addiction just two threads later.

and the "increased awareness" for these faux diseases has nothing to do with "doctors just wised up" and everything to do with the fact that there are just no real threats in the world for the average person anymore. people of the past just didnt have time getting "addicted" to stupid bs.

The answer is to get involved with more than one woman, or have a "Stable of Ho's"
 
I doubt anyone will believe this, but I think I look at porn online perhaps once every 2 months for about 10 minutes then remember why I dislike it.

I genuinely don't get turned on by 99% of porn. It's all plastic tits, shit bleached cunts and no erotica. I just get women. :D

Oh, and for those that are serious, this is the big boys solution. If you want to give up porn, this WILL stop you.

It costs a few bucks a month and add your parents emails to the list of monitors. What it does is send ALL of your internet history to a list of recipients and as I understand it, although anyone who understand system processes will likely disagree, it supposedly can't be disabled. You certainly can't uninstall it without a confirmation code you need from them. :D

LOL so wrong, so wrong. I actually just watched a Science channel special that said masturbation was good for your physical and mental health.

The video for that product is the most sinister-looking thing I've seen in a long time.
