Why you should stop watching porn

HAMMURABl · 2014-11-11T20:53:09+00:00

this boils down to the original red pill question. if you could dive into a virtual reality in which you would be happy all the time, why wouldn`t you do it?

the question does not follow immediately from the topic questions, but with a bit of foresight (virtual reality), its not that off to ask it here.

I tried this no fap bull shit for over a month. No porn no nothing. It killed my sex drive. Its bullshit. Only applies to porn addicts who's minds are warped by hours of watching each day.

Our brain is designed to draw us to natural rewards like sex or food. We get an dopamine rush everytime our urges are satisfied.

So we do from doing new things, learning things, getting thrilled, getting out of our comfort zone and having fun. I advocate we skip these things as well. /s

But in extreme versions of natural rewards it can override our natural satiation mechanisms. This basically happens when we watch porn everyday and get a fake sensation of mating with a new partner.

Nope. If you jack off in a reasonable amount and use porn to fuel your imaginations this won't happen. These things will happen if you need to jerk your worm every hour to hentai octopus mutants penetrating a lolli in every body cavaty.

This is no surprise at all, since we have an established term for this. It's called "addiction". If you are receptive to addiction is determined by much more factors than just regular consumption. Everybody can legally buy alcohol at the age of sixteen, where I live and still we aren't 80 million alcoholics.

This video only proved my thinking that the porn will fuck you up.

No it won't if your are of normal mental health.

Excessive use of porn has been linked to feelings similar to social anxiety, depression, OCD and more.

I can only speak for me, but for me it has been linked to feelings similar to incredible hornyness followed by great relaxation.

Years of desensitizing your brains with porn will lead to erectile dysfunction and with time even viagra won't be able to help.

Again I can only speak for me. I may be the Ozzy Osbourne of porn cosumption, but 25 years didn't do any harm to my libido at all, besides from getting some suggestions for what I might want to try out.

I'm no scientist if you want more info watch the video but do yourself a good deed and participate in nofap november.

"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." [1 Thessalonians 5:21]

Also fasting is a pretty old concept and there is nothing to say against it.

Well, unless this makes you become a man who's smitten with remorse and thinks he could solve all his problems by beating himself up (pun not intended). Masturbation is part of a healthy relationship to both yourself and your sex-life.

It won't make you blind and will also not affect your spinal marrow by the way.

I am also curious, why the church of nofap constantly needs to try to missionize people into their group of fappoholic anonymous, while groups like AA and NA surprisingly don't feel the urge to post a thread here every other week about the dangers of excessive alcohol or drug consumption.

To me it is similar to the original question of whether you want to take the red pill or the blue pill. The blue pill is your fantasy which is not at all what it is actually like.

To me going away from porn and getting the real deal is the red pill. Seeing relationships, even one night stands, for what they truly are. Not some fantasy. It never is like the porn is. It is fake. Hollywood movies sell the fantasy as well. Success stories in movies rarely show the hard work that is done before and after success happens.

The red pill is swallowed fully when you realize that fulfillment is not in the pleasure. It's in all the price paid to get where you want to go. It's not surprising that people who win the lottery spend all the money and end up broke.

Real success is earned. Porn and the quick fix society that is the blue pill is the fantasy that focuses on the pleasure. Not on the details. Which is where real fulfillment is found. Not only that but makes people stronger and helps everybody in the long run.

Porn is not the issue, your behaviour is. You are making the mistake of thinking everyone has the same vices as you. It's like when a girl is constantly accusing a boy of cheating because she did herself. If you feel like you have a problem with porn, stop watching it, if you think it's fine, carry on. Maybe the reason you sought out he video in the first place is because you already felt like you had a problem, and now you can just declare porn is bad for everyone, it's not me who just lacks self control.

I speak from my own experience with nofap, before nofap I could not walk inside a store without social anxiety and feeling of people being behind my back... When i Quit I lost all sex drive for half a year (flatline), things like work became something I longed for, my confidence and how I carry my self became much much more masculine. People started to say I had respect with me a friend said something like "I do not think he got the guts to do anything when skelale is here", and I went from hating to socialize and sitting home in-front of a computer to almost panic if I did not go out on the weekends.. I could go on but... I just wanna say that whatever you think about nofap know that for me it was a extreme cure it gave me my life back.

Having done over 255 days of No Fap till a few weeks ago I have to admit it honestly does more harm then good. After about 14 days, the effects seem to really level out. When I broke my streak I actually felt much better - no more anxiety about trying not to fap, and to be honest I had more of a I don't give a shit about women mentality which led me to TRP.

My advice is if you want to have a fap - do it and move on. If you sit there dwelling on it and fighting your urges for 2-3 hours you're just wasting time. As far as I know, the difference in T-levels is negligible especially if your consistently working out in the gym. If you sit on the computer 24/7 with no physical exercise and are tapping, the body has no use for increasing T-levels and then I can see it being detrimental. /broscience

I agree with porn but I will always eat like a king.

screamingATtrees · 2014-11-13T19:00:11+00:00

Porn and jerking off is just sex practice for me. helps me work on my stamina and pick up some new moves... And it's great for your prostate. With all things.. Moderation is key

Fapping once a day won't kill you.. if it's 10 times a day you have bigger problems.

If I stopped watching porn I'd be bored. And I'd probably think of my ex's more.

I don't want to be bored.

I don't want to think of my ex's.

Porn hasn't ever fucked me up. I want to see a wet vagina? I open up a porn file of a close-up of a girl fingering herself and there it is. If I don't? I'll go look at something else.

Saying porn fucks up your brain is like saying EVERYTHING fucks up your brain that has ANY reward whatsoever because you'll get addicted to "just that one thing" and not be good at anything else.

The human brain is far more resilient on average than such an imagined state of permanent weakness.

Never ever had a penis problem from porn either. Or from masturbation. In fact from training myself to stay hard longer and last longer before ejaculation I've been able to have 12-hour sex marathons. Sure, in theory a woman could train my dick to do that but we're talking about a lot of patience and at some point she's gonna get bored and want to get a hot dicking, have me eat her out, etc., so we're really having sex and not just training for sex!

So masturbation, with or without porn, can be part of that training to last longer and to recharge more quickly. I can re-charge in 10 minutes and go again no problem. Can do this 3x a day no problem with a girl because of this.

The kind of addicting nonsense you're on about actually happens from cocaine use as it removes all incentive for all rewarding actions, including sex and food, to be replaced by the most powerful direct stimulation of the reward centers there is. Cocaine.
