what did you all replace Porn/Video games with?

caneyfan · 2019-04-08T18:36:51+00:00

A purpose. Setting goals of who and what you want to be and why you want to achieve those things. Then set out to make those things a reality. The goal shouldn’t necessarily be stopping those things, instead, it’s making those negative things insignificant in a pursuit to achieve something important to you—as a man. Go focus on bettering yourself in life, and as a result you’ll quit doing unproductive things.

Basically go do something with your life that has meaning to you and you won’t have time, much less, the desire to worry about BS that doesn’t move the needle on your life aspirations.

ttann71 · 2019-04-08T18:05:27+00:00

Lifting. Reading.

PM_ME_CHILL_MUSIC · 2019-04-08T18:14:29+00:00

Replace porn with real sex or your own imagination.

Replace video games with books.

sanos7 · 2019-04-08T19:15:57+00:00

Lifting, sports, social life. Mostly work. A career. A business. A mission.

Dackel21 · 2019-04-08T19:52:05+00:00

Reading, working, exercising, spending time my dog, thinking.

billybetasnan · 2019-04-08T20:15:15+00:00

Photography, walking my dog 3 hours everyday, graffiti.

Porn is fucking boring man, you're literally cucking yourself.

BluntMFer · 2019-04-08T19:54:09+00:00

Bjj and college.

HalfwayToGlory · 2019-04-08T19:53:25+00:00

Lifting - should be working on yourself to raise your smv anyways. This should at least be an hour as well.

Reading - this can be anything, anything that can stimulate and expand your mind. You don’t just want to be a meathead.

Meditation - you’re going to need a way to purge everything throughout the day. Video games was great for that and while lifting helps. You shouldn’t be lifting everyday.

Gaming - instead of watching the pornos, get out and talk to the hot chicks so you can be the guy in your very own personal pornos instead.

Learn an instrument - just adding on to expanding your mind.

American_Gypsy1 · 2019-04-08T20:57:37+00:00

No one is going to tell you this, but it’s up to you. Just don’t half ass it. There are no participation awards. Lift til your swole, then go meditate until you think life is meaningless, and then go read until there’s meaning again.

coloredzebra · 2019-04-08T20:59:23+00:00

Simply replace them with "better habits":

Gym
BJJ/MMA
Reading
Fishing
Going for a walk
Learning a new skill
Learning a new hobby
Starting a business
Podcasts/Audio books

throwawaybpdnpd · 2019-04-08T21:56:50+00:00

With anything that raises my SMV or adds real value to my life:

martial arts
lifting
yoga / pilates
reading
growing my business
networking / socializing
cleaning
cooking

Etc

ahackercalled4chan · 2019-04-08T18:40:47+00:00

lifting and sex.

why? because I get a tangible benefit from lifting. i look and feel better than I did a year ago. with videogames, you're just one power surge or spilled soda away from losing all your "hard work". and for me, they became more of a source of stress than they did relaxing entertainment.

sex because it's better than whacking it.

DeusIsMais · 2019-04-08T20:23:37+00:00

Video games: Chess. Requires more strategy than blowing off steam in a run n' gun game. You can do it online or play it as a social game.

All other vices: exercise and general self improvement. Keep your hands busy.

FereallyRed · 2019-04-08T18:26:42+00:00

Threesomes.

Because blasting a thick load over two hot sweaty laughing naked women is better than any boss battle you can conceive.

CaptainBW · 2019-04-08T19:53:58+00:00

Nonfiction & technical books, programming, music production, painting, fiction books, writing poetry. In that order. I also jerk off to porn and get high & play video games occasionally, because I’m not a faggot that can’t moderate activities properly and has to live their life by some weird dogma of internet strangers.

Edit: why are people saying lifting and meditation? Those are supposed to be default lifestyle choices, not hobbies.

noPTSDformePlease · 2019-04-08T20:31:04+00:00

not yet mentioned: learn about the stock market and investing. Its a skill that will make you rich in the long term. Also, the market changes every day so its something you can put an hour or so into every day and see tangible financial results.

Tenn81 · 2019-04-08T18:14:16+00:00

reading and meditation

_thechinaman_ · 2019-04-08T19:23:31+00:00

I'm sitting outside right now 30 minutes before a course to get some sun and I would rather have stayed in the library to read and take notes on the difficult book I am reading right now. To crush my enemies, of course.

Tjinsu · 2019-04-08T20:43:31+00:00

I'm actually surprised people can't find other outlets from this shit. I was around some blue pilled type guys recently and they were shocked to find out that I didn't play video games very often and were really interested to know 'what I do all day'. I do lots of other stuff; reading, lifting, playing music, making extra money, etc. Its really not hard, my recommendation to you would be just unplug your computer for a week and fill in your time somehow. You would not believe how much free time you'll free up if you can lay off the video games and porn.

Now having said this, I'm not an anti-porn or anti-gaming guy. I still do both on the odd occasion and IMO there's nothing 'wrong' with either one in my books. Its only bad if you consume it in a excessive amount like anything, so just learn to manage your time better and you'll feel a lot better each day.

MisterRoid · 2019-04-09T03:03:16+00:00

I play alot of video games and see no reason not to. So long as you are not living with a LTR it's not a problem. I treat it as my darkest secret and let my girlfriend think I'm cheating on her when I say I'm busy, lol. Really, the main problem with things like playing video games and wearing glasses is that it makes people perceive you as a nerd on a subconcious level, and you basically have to be a violent thug or known murderer to overcome that. So it's not a problem so long as you keep it to yourself.

yungplayz · 2019-04-08T22:17:07+00:00

Replaced porn with actually doing stuff I need to do and learning new skills. Cause I got a lot of stuff I gotta do but I've been always postponing, don't do that now.

Did not and will not replace videogames by anything. Fuck whoever says they need to be gone. They don't.

(Please note that I am not talking about some online multiplayer fappery like League of Legends or Overwatch, those I didn't need to replace because I never spent more than 20 minutes a year on them anyway).

Ethifury · 2019-04-08T20:13:11+00:00

I never replaced porn with anything, I simply stopped watching it. It doesn’t do much for me anymore. Video games? I still play video games, but I minimized it to weekends when I’m not working overtime. I don’t see the problem with video games if you’re only playing cinematic single player games. Outside of that:

Music - huge stress reliever and keeps my mood up

Reading- goes anywhere from bodybuilding articles, Reddit, random stuff I come across or soon Manga

Lifting- I work out 3 days a week, but soon will bump that up to 4

Media Entertainment- I watch movies, TV shows, Anime, YouTube, etc. As much as I enjoy becoming more redpilled, there’s nothing wrong with watching tv shows. I stray away from sitcoms. Only into stuff like GoT, Into the Badlands, Marvel stuff, etc

Only reason why I don’t socialize much outside of work is because I’m saving up for a car to reduce the amount of time I spend on the bus. One I do that, I’ll more than likely reduce entertainment down to the bare minimum.

RedPillAlphaBigCock · 2019-04-08T20:03:00+00:00

hobbies , sports , friends - ENJOYING LIFE MORE NOW than before.

Reading is good but action is better IMO

rad_dynamic · 2019-04-08T20:23:09+00:00

replace porn with your imagination

replace video games with productive activities and living life.

2stoned0jaguar9tre · 2019-04-08T20:48:02+00:00

Gym, professional license and continuing education.

UniversalFapture · 2019-04-09T03:00:05+00:00

There yall go hating on games

AldoTheeApache · 2019-04-09T03:50:03+00:00

Fencing, studying Japanese, going out more, watching quality movies and docs, reading. Was doing all this before, but I put more time and passion in to it now.

Haven’t touched the XBox in over 2 years. Don’t even have a craving to. I don’t want to look back and think I could have done ______ more but instead I wasted an entire day playing Destiny 2.

Winning__ · 2019-04-09T04:05:24+00:00

Money, a life, and power Edit- the quality of your time determines the quality of your life. It’s a quote that hit me hard.

AshyBoneVR4 · 2019-04-09T06:08:49+00:00

Lifting weights and boxing

sir_shitfuck · 2019-04-09T06:26:13+00:00

Porn is dirt upon the soul and must be avoided at all costs

Startlivingfornow · 2019-04-09T09:05:43+00:00

Hustling and sex

EnthuMotivInspir · 2019-04-09T15:12:15+00:00

Lifting, social sports (kickball, softball), and rock climbing.

I found that gaining friends in each of these arenas also increased my likelihood of continuing to pursue them. I get better at them and also meet more new like minded people.

It's gotten to the point where I have so much damn fun with these people doing these relatively low cost activities that I haven't thought about video games in over a year.

sadomasochrist · 2019-04-09T21:38:36+00:00

Intercourse.

GayLubeOil · 2019-04-08T18:12:05+00:00

Except for the degenerate hedonist boomers 40+ everyone in the contra feminist/GloboHomo sphere of the internet is binging books because a mass wave of book censorship is on the horizon.

Culture of Critique got purged and so did Jonathan Bowden who is my personal hero.

justlafleur · 2019-04-08T20:37:26+00:00

In my opinion, playing video games won’t lower your smv. You shouldn’t be playing them 24/7. But if you do other things like go to the gym or read, or talk to women then I don’t see anything wrong with it.

kalumeiya · 2019-04-09T00:01:49+00:00

What's with video games lol?

Wolveryn · 2019-04-08T21:25:50+00:00

Weights/cooking

andreyeurope · 2019-04-08T22:10:27+00:00

Work.

CaptDeadlift · 2019-04-08T22:11:03+00:00

I can't say I did replace them.

From time to time I'll whip it out to porn and I do play video games in my free time since I enjoy a well made single player game for the story. ( Metro franchise)

I really couldn't have it better right now.

Playing games every day or in general for hours is bad but playing for a 2-3h in your free time after you've finished your shit is perfectly fine since it's like reading a book but with a interactive story that you shape.

Ideally you should cut out porn and do the real thing.

wobbleelbbow · 2019-04-08T22:15:58+00:00

Cucking.. sorry i meant cooking is very underappreciated hobby for men. Men are best cooks and women love men who know how.

jakesonwu · 2019-04-08T22:41:11+00:00

Learning languages, stretching, martial arts.

goldenshoelace8 · 2019-04-08T22:42:26+00:00

Audiobooks and making hip hop and trap beats, also excercise :)

ConcealingFate · 2019-04-08T23:16:45+00:00

Board games and reading. Board games are social and engage your brain. For porn, somr literotica is pretty damn good. Or just think about some girls and jerk off

Sero-Flex · 2019-04-08T23:39:16+00:00

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, lifting, BMX, Snowboarding (when I get the opportunity), woodworking

FilthyLikeGorgeous · 2019-04-09T00:42:24+00:00

Golf and drugs

lostbuthopefull · 2019-04-09T00:54:05+00:00

Music- when I am in a state of flow it’s almost like meditating and time flys. Can be abused though if you have too much fun and lose track of time as you need to treat it as a blessing.

Lifting- feel like daddy after a nice lift. Mental cleanse from whatever was bothering me that day.

Calling my friends when off from work - I do this twice a week, today I called my buddy James. We talked for 20 min and expressed how our days went. This is how to keep those you care about close.

beachbbqlover · 2019-04-09T00:56:27+00:00

Planning for my house. More work. Spend time with wife/kids.

binrobinro · 2019-04-09T01:27:42+00:00

Books.

[deleted] · 2019-04-09T02:01:43+00:00

Drugs and jail time dropping the soap

RPDream · 2019-04-09T02:45:08+00:00

I replaced it with reading, lifting, meditation, socializing... I am generally now more focused on improving my career as well as my physical and mental health.

Let me clarify that you need to cut anything that isolates you from reality and the present moment such as porn, video games, drugs, etc On the other hand, practice getting closer to reality and the present moment through meditation.

dtyler86 · 2019-04-09T02:49:15+00:00

Music. I literally Didn’t have to even try. At 17 i bought a little recording console and a drum machine and realized it stimulated all of the same needs except it gave me an actual product at the end of the time spent and growth actually made me very proud. Now that I am older and music is not as much a part of my life and I have transferred into filmmaking which is my full-time job. Video games can be a great thing for a while, but they are an absolute total fucking waste of time and only serve entertainment value. Find something entertaining that gives you more than it takes. Something that takes your time and gives you immediate pleasure that you will not remember three months from now is, in my opinion, not a worthy investment. I do you recognize this is read it and a lot of people here are totally into video games so I really don’t mean any offense, but from the outside looking in it’s about as pointless of an investment as people who obsess over football all day. Hit the gym, go for a bike ride, read some books and get better at something and you will love it just as much

Dumweight · 2019-04-09T03:00:11+00:00

Books and outdoor hobbies

thewobblywelder · 2019-04-09T03:42:39+00:00

My purpose.

128bitworm · 2019-04-09T04:17:10+00:00

Gym. Reading. Hiking. Music. Meditation (on occasions when it seems needed). Looking forward to finding a good bicycle this summer.

LifeMaxx · 2019-04-09T05:09:13+00:00

Lifting. Fuck Buddies. Social Sports. Going out with friends. Working full time. That last one is probably the biggest factor.

superdduper93 · 2019-04-09T05:11:23+00:00

Reading. Actual work. Praying.

bigfatdubsack · 2019-04-09T06:13:31+00:00

I beat twice a day and my game is TIGHT

prickmon · 2019-04-09T11:02:04+00:00

Replaced anime/japanese video games with BJJ and Strength and conditioning because why watch the hero's journey where you can be the hero in your "own" journey.

MCA_T · 2019-04-09T12:27:47+00:00

Music Production, DJ'ing and graphics design, still the problem of been sat at pc long hours but I have a business from it now and something to show for my time sat at pc instead of depression and a headache from staring at the screen

Vikingcel · 2019-04-09T20:47:26+00:00

Watching Columbo

Lifting/real sex/writing music.

SeamusAwl · 2019-04-08T18:12:37+00:00

Life. Its out there and better than making prestige master in the latest COD or whatever you played.

Unknockable · 2019-04-08T20:06:14+00:00

Video games shouldn’t be looked at as an counterproductive hobby

dm222 · 2019-04-08T19:57:52+00:00

are tv shows ok?

Internet-Troll · 2019-04-08T20:10:01+00:00

Everyone be like lifting and sex.

But reality is, lifting? I would rather sleep, and what sex?
