Porn or Monk Mode?

Science4Lawlz · 2018-07-07T01:40:48+00:00

I vote for full monk mode and the reasons why are five-fold:

In "Think and grow rich" by Napoleon Hill, he talks about sexual transformation. You'll make significant gains if you learn to channel that energy toward something productive.
Watching porn will only strengthen your neural pathways toward wanting a specific thing. Example: we know from neurology that when someone becomes addicted to something, we'll do anything to get it. You might not realize it but you'll start to look at women and feinding for porn. All good things in moderation if you choose to go that way.
Porn will rewire your subconscious mind and keep you "open." In the spiritual traditions, they talk about how when you have sexual intercourse of any kind, you're opening yourself up to evil spirits. Well, take that to the modern secular world and you can basically say that you're doing point #2 above.
Every day that you resist porn and put the thoughts elsewhere is another small victory and these small victories build to a grand success. It's not so much as the act of watching porn but it's training your mind to resist little things which build to bigger things. It's cultivating a habit.
Your sexuality is the most important thing you have on this Earth, it's what creates life and can destroy it. Be responsible and use it for good.

So, I'm saying go full monk or at least try to. Also, I'm not incel, I know some people will try to call me that but I'm not. I believe that a man's power is in many things and one of them being reproductive ability. Women are the worst and they use us for that very thing. I've had women tell me "I just want your sperm because your genetics are amazing." Men, take back what is yours! As always, GYOW.

Whatever works for you. I like porn myself, but then I'm highly sexual like that. I also have an imagination, so it's 50/50.

Monk mode is more about LTRs for me.

You do you. I look at it all as more medicinal and biological. Need comes up, take care of need, move about the day.

But then I also still fuck now and then if the urge strikes, so I see no reason to monk it up other than from a LTR sense.

I don’t consider monk mode abstaining from sexual acts all together. That is just not healthy IMO. I’m in monk mode but I watch porn all the time. Don’t worry about what others say. I hate it when people say porn isn’t healthy for you. You know what’s not healthy? Making dumb irrational decisions and knocking a bitch up cause you needed to get your rocks off.

Better to use Porn than get used by women.

Im doing nofap, and while it is very difficult it is very rewarding.

Look up "brahmacharya"

It doesn't matter much if you choose Porn or Monk. Just avoid getting unnecessarily tangled with women and it'll be fine.

I would say do what you want. I tried both, it made no difference to me. Went no fap for 7 months, not better or worse. Then continued to masturbate to porn, not better or worse either.

The only important difference I could tell was that after the 7 months, my ejaculate came out all yellow. Then I looked into some studies showing a correlation with sex/masturbation and lower prostate cancer risk. So even if I don't feel like it, I "clean the pipes" every so often. It's also good for testosterone levels.

There certainly IS hope for you to lose your sex drive. Some isolation will do it pretty quickly. I used to be a Buddhist and go on weeklong meditation retreats, you completely forget about your sex drive, you don't even get morning wood.

Having said all that, male sex drive is certainly not a bad thing and some sex drive is required for your health in midlife. Porn addiction is junk science, but porn can become a problem and take up too much of your time and resources. So: everything in moderation.

Monk. With porn you are still thirsting for women even if it’s subconscious. Monk just cuts that completely away

i think it’s just natural and healthy, i personally try to stay down to 1 a day or maybe the occasional 2 lol. weird to track it but it’s not healthy to go crazy about it.

I'm torn too. I spent hours on porn. Those hours could have been put to other uses which i havent yet found. Guess what i can do is to shorten the hours. That said, biology has the ability to make us go back to that which pleasures us. I have no clue yet. You have to start somewhere.
